Raytheon gains DCGS support work
Field support for Distributed Common Ground System will include transitional mission support from legacy to open architecture infrastructure.
Raytheon has received a five-year, $178 million contract from the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center to provide field support for the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS).
Work will include transitional mission support from legacy to open architecture infrastructure as part of a modernisation process, the DoD announced on 10 March.
DGCS is intended to provide enhanced intelligence to see and better understand threats and other relevant aspects of the operational environment.
For the USAF, DCGS is designed to produce actionable intelligence from data collected by a variety of sensors on ISR platforms such as the U-2, MQ-1 Predator, RQ-4 Global Hawk and MQ-9 Reaper.
