Raytheon Greatly Expands Available Bandwidth To The Military
Reston VA (SPX) Jun 19, 2008 The Global Broadcast Service Satellite Broadcast Manager facility in Wahiawa, Hawaii, recently began operational broadcasts over the U.S. Air Force's new Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) satellite. Developed and operated for the past 10 years by Raytheon, the Global Broadcast Service now provides users in the Pacific with increased capacity, thanks to the WGS. "The addition of WGS capacity dramatically increases situational awareness, provides faster sensor-to-shooter timelines, and enhances Global Broadcast Service to the warfighters in the Pacific," said Guy A. DuBois, vice president of Raytheon's Operational Technologies and Solutions. Raytheon has implemented three major upgrades to the GBS through its technology team with a demonstrated record of providing transition solutions with the lowest-risk and best-value system. The company's program intimacy provides the U.S. government the right technical skill to address the evolving nature of the next-generation transition contract that integrates GBS into future net-centric operations across the global information grid. The GBS is a worldwide mission support system providing wideband Internet protocol broadcasts of real-time video, imagery and large files with critical actionable intelligence and situational awareness data to military forces on post, in transit and in theater.
