Raytheon gets its teeth into JAWS
DARPA issues contract for all-domain battle management planning software.
DARPA has awarded Raytheon a $10.45 million contract to conduct research into the Joint All-Domain Warfighting Software (JAWS) programme.
Work will be carried out at seven US locations for completion by April 2022.
Raytheon was selected ahead of 11 other bidders.
JAWS seeks to develop a software suite to maximise the effectiveness of military force through theatre-scale battle management C2 with automation and predictive analytics.
This dynamic capability would develop the enabling software for the warfighter to adaptably set up and execute synchronised ‘kill webs’ across the underwater, sea surface, land, air, space and electromagnetic domains.
