Raytheon Wins Space Situational Awareness Prototype Award
Tewksbury MA (SPX) Oct 27, 2009 Raytheon received a $3 million award from the U.S. Air Force Space Command to develop an enterprise sensing prototype architecture for space situational awareness (ESP-SSA). ESP-SSA will prototype an open, service-oriented architecture to integrate Space Command space surveillance sensors with Missile Defense Agency (MDA) sensors into a single sensor enterprise. This integrated, global enterprise will enable missile defense sensors to participate in the space surveillance network and be tasked by space and missile defense command and control systems. It will also enable the MDA to move one step closer to an "any sensor, any shooter" capability. "Integrating these sensors will give decision makers an extraordinary view of space and the ability to discern and quickly react to potential threats," said Pete Franklin, vice president for Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems' National and Theater Security Programs. "Open architectures and multimission operational capability provide affordable and flexible sensor solutions to protect our nation." Technologies that will enable these architectures include sensor data fusion, enterprise sensor calibration, and distributed sensor resource management. Share This Article With Planet Earth
