In 2011, Textron Systems continued to field unique defense
solutions for the U.S. and its allies. Throughout the year, the
company’s products supported vital missions such as unmanned
aerial surveillance in the skies above Iraq and Afghanistan.
From armored security vehicles to intelligence software, Textron
Systems remained at the forefront of defense innovation.
A number of multi-year programs were awarded during the
year, particularly for the company’s armored security vehicles
(ASVs) which are among the most combat-proven and heavily
protected vehicles in their class. Under a U.S. Army contract
with potential value of $500 million, Textron Marine & Land
Systems (TMLS) will produce, support and provide training for
approximately 360 ASVs for the Afghanistan National Army. The
U.S. Army also has contracted with TMLS to build 153 ASVs —
with an additional contract to refurbish up to 784 ASVs as they
return from active duty over a three-year period.
Textron Systems continued to produce smarter weapons and
systems in 2011, in line with defense customers’ increasing
need for stealth, speed and precision. Throughout the year,
the team delivered a stream of improvements to its unmanned
systems, simulators, radio frequency and electronic warfare
testers, and intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance
products. A prime example of this is the ongoing advances
made to AAI’s Shadow® Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System.
Small and efficient, the Shadow is now one of the most actively
deployed unmanned aerial vehicles, surpassing 700,000 flight
hours in the U.S. and overseas. The Shadow was upgraded in
2011 to carry multi-mission payloads such as enhanced video
monitoring and communications modules.
Also during the year, AAI’s unmanned aircraft systems team
completed the U.S. Army’s 2011 Manned Unmanned System
Integration Capability exercise. AAI’s universal ground control
station served as the centerpiece of the exercise, providing
command and control of AAI’s Shadow, as well as other
leading unmanned products used by the U.S. military, and
demonstrating revolutionary improvements in instantaneous
battlefield communication and information sharing.
Further responding to the customers’ need for rapid access to
accurate data, Textron Systems launched several intelligence
and analysis solutions in 2011. Textron Systems’ Overwatch
business introduced InSite™—a smart-phone enabled analysis
and battle tracking system that’s small enough to travel
anywhere. Overwatch also introduced IM-PACT™, a unique
investigative software toolkit for law enforcement and homeland
security analysts. By identifying patterns of criminal and terrorist
activities, IM-PACT™ greatly reduces the time and effort
required to analyze data within complex investigations.
Despite the uncertainty of U.S. defense budgets, Textron
Systems continues to focus on delivering critical products and
services to its customers and the pursuit of new opportunities—
and is poised to successfully deliver on those needs in 2012
and beyond.
TEXTRON SYSTEMS DELIVERED THE ADVANTAGE
ON LAND, AIR AND SEA.
