Raytheon's Maritime Domain Awareness project showcases the enhanced capabilities provided by the integration of disparate data from a wide range of radar, sonar and surveillance sources that detect, track, and identify potential threats.
It relays and presents the information in a common operating picture and disseminates actionable intelligence to the appropriate responders.
"This project is ideally suited to Raytheon's strengths as a leading mission systems integrator and a valued teammate to partner companies with complementary technologies," said Dan Smith, president of Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems.
"This demonstration will showcase the benefits provided by a system of systems approach that maximizes the effectiveness of the technologies employed to monitor maritime activities and arms responders with the information necessary to protect our nation's ports and shorelines from external threats."
Under the contract, Raytheon will conduct two demonstrations and provide all supporting documentation deliverables, including requirements documents, design drawings, status updates, test plans and test reports, and deliver a final report to the Department of Defense.
The first demonstration site will focus on Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. It will integrate existing surveillance technologies and introduce new sources - many of which are to be provided by Raytheon's local small business partners.
Work will be performed at Raytheon's Naval Integration Center in Portsmouth, RI.
