Integrated Communications Systems (ICS)—ICS provides wireless, high-bandwidth and transformational
communications solutions for its customers. As a Mission Systems Integrator, ICS provides communication systems,
services and products that enable Net Centric Operations (NCO) and the Global Information Grid (GIG). ICS solutions
provide mission assurance to its customers with satellite, point-to-point and networked communications services that are
effective on land, sea and air and include the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT), Optical Phased Array technologies
(OPA), Enhanced Multiband Radio, and Microlight.
Command and Control Systems (C2S)—C2S develops and provides integrated solutions, systems and
supporting services to deliver capabilities to enable network-centric warfare via agile and responsive integrated command
and control systems and functionality, such as the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) and
persistent surveillance systems. C2S delivers transformational capabilities in Net Centric Warfare (NCW) and Command
and Control (C2) systems. C2S serves as Ground Sensor Integrator (GSI) for the U.S. Army’s Future Combat Systems
(FCS).
Combat Systems (CS)—CS provides integrated ground-based surveillance and target engagement solutions
designed to provide a significant advantage to warfighters. CS is the mission integrator for the Stryker Brigade Combat
Team and is developing ground sensor capabilities for the U.S. Army’s Future Combat Systems (FCS) with the Battlefield
Target Identification (BTID), Multi-Function RF (MFRF) and Medium Range Electro-Optic Infrared (MREO) programs.
Precision Technologies and Components (PTC)—PTC provides: precision optical and electronic solutions;
electronic hardware and software products that enhance the interoperability of communications systems; and a broad
range of imaging capabilities including visible to infrared focal plane arrays for thermal imaging, earth remote sensing,
and astronomy applications.
Air Space Management and Homeland Security (AMHS)—AMHS provides integrated communications,
navigation, surveillance and air traffic management system solutions for both civil and military customers. AMHS is
leading the architecture development of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS) that will provide
net-centric solutions designed to significantly enhance the safety, efficiency and capacity of the U.S. air traffic control
system. AMHS also provides solutions to the emerging Homeland Security market for border and perimeter security and
highway tolling systems.
Thales-Raytheon Systems, LLC (TRS)—TRS is a joint venture between Thales Group and Raytheon. TRS
combines the two companies’ capabilities in Air Command and Control Systems (ACCS), Air Operations Centers and
Battlefield Weapon Locating Radar and Military Air Surveillance Radar to provide cost effective solutions for military air
operations centers and joint operations centers. TRS has three operating units: Thales-Raytheon Systems, LLC in the U.S.
and two in France.
Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL)—RSL, Raytheon’s U.K. subsidiary, designs, develops and manufactures a wide
range of advanced systems for network enabled operations, safety critical control functions and precision systems.
Customers include the U.K. Ministry of Defense and commercial air traffic control organizations across the world.
Programs include Airborne Standoff Radar (ASTOR), a world class ground surveillance capability, and Situational
Awareness and C4I capability, including the Successor Identification Friend or Foe (SIFF) System and the Joint Effects
