Demonstration during Valiant Shield 22 proves ability to
collect, process and distribute targeting data across military
units
ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE,
Guam, June 28,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- During the Defense Department's
Valiant Shield 22 exercise this month, Raytheon Intelligence &
Space, a Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX) business, successfully
demonstrated the ability to collect data on a simulated sea-based
threat and then share targeting solutions with distributed defense
systems across the Western Pacific Ocean -- a key test of the
company's Joint All Domain Command and Control infrastructure.
Raytheon's Multi-Program Testbed, or RMT -- a converted Boeing
727 -- used a combination of radar and electronic intelligence
sensors to characterize the simulated threat. Onboard processors
then synthesized the data in seconds to create a comprehensive
targeting solution that was passed to tactical platforms.
"In the multi-domain fight, seconds could mean the difference
between victory and defeat," said Eric
Ditmars, president of Secure Sensor Solutions at RI&S.
"This experiment shows we can deliver synthesized, multi-source
data to commanders faster than ever, giving them a decisive
battlefield advantage."
Raytheon's RMT, along with a KC-135 aircraft, four U.S. Navy
F/A-18 fighters and, a command-and-control station on the U.S.
mainland shared data rapidly in the simulated, highly contested
environment. This scenario demonstrates Raytheon's ability to
provide successful machine-to-machine communications capabilities
to share information securely across multiple sensors and defense
systems.
"Bringing these capabilities to the field gives us the highest
degree of confidence in their real-world applicability," said
Ditmars. "It allows us to stress test them in operational
environments and accelerate their maturity."
Valiant Shield 22 is a U.S.-only, biennial field training that
builds real-world proficiency in sustaining U.S. forces through
detecting, locating, tracking, and engaging units at sea, in the
air, on land, and in cyberspace in response to a range of mission
areas.
