Raytheon systems in DDG 1000 trials
Systems supplied by Raytheon have performed successfully during Alpha Trials of the US Navy's DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer vessel, the company announced on 10 February.
Raytheon is providing electronic and combat systems for the three ships of the class.
The week-long trials demonstrated key ship capabilities, including the Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE) and engineering control systems. TSCE provides all shipboard computing applications, including the embedded training; damage control and support system; ship and machinery control systems; C4I elements; and combat management systems.
Paul Ferraro, vice president, seapower capability systems business, integrated defence systems, Raytheon, said: ‘It was a privilege to see the first of these revolutionary ships set sail. The sea trials represent the culmination of years of design, development and production, systems and shipboard integration, testing and training.
‘We share in the collective pride of the government-industry team, knowing what an outstanding contribution we're making to the navy and the nation.’
