Raytheon to support threat warnings for NORAD
Raytheon has been awarded a contract to support threat warnings and assessments for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
The $700 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract was announced on 1 April by Raytheon. Under this contract, the company will provide sustainment services and products supporting the integrated tactical warning/attack assessment system and other systems. The programme gives NORAD accurate and unambiguous warning and attack assessments of air, missile and space threats.
The contact work is expected to complete by 30 March 2020.
David Wajsgras, president of intelligence, information and services, Raytheon, said: 'Raytheon has deep expertise in sustainment and modification solutions that include sensor and software systems, radars, command and control, and range-engineering services.
'We look forward to working closely with the air force in this important area of national security.'
