Raytheon BBN wins US Army contract
Raytheon BBN Technologies has been awarded a US Army contract for the development of a two-way communication and translation system that can be used on a variety of operating systems and platforms, including portable, mobile and net-enabled devices. The contract win was announced by the company on 17 January 2012.
Under the $5.5 million contract, Raytheon BBN Technologies will develop prototype systems for two-way speech-to-speech translation, document translation, and text-to-text translation.
