Raytheon Company has been competitively selected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for a one-year study contract, worth $2.5 million, as an initial step toward the next generation Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) system.
The Raytheon team was awarded work in all four segments offered on the proposal including Space and Launch; Command, Control and Communications; Product Generation, Distribution, Archive and Access, User Interface; and End- to-End Integration.
“This win continues Raytheon’s progress as a mission systems integrator,” said Ray Kolibaba, vice president of Space Systems for Raytheon. “Raytheon will rely on a company-wide, cross-business effort to identify advanced architecture concepts for GOES-R.”
The Raytheon GOES-R team is based at Raytheon’s Intelligence and Information Systems Aurora, Colo. Business campus. Other Raytheon businesses contributing to the contract are Raytheon Technical Services Company (Landover, Md.), and Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems (El Segundo, Calif.).
