Network Centric Systems (NCS), with 2006 sales of
$3.6 billion, is driving transformation by providing
networked systems and net-centric integration to
military, federal and civil customers worldwide.
This year’s results refl ect high demand for the
reconnaissance and fi re control systems NCS provides
to support the warfi ghter in Iraq and Afghanistan.
NCS also enjoyed success in developing new
capabilities, including an active protection system,
which will protect military vehicles against rocket-
propelled grenades and other threats. Considerable
progress continues in other defense markets and in
applying NCS’ innovative technology and capabilities
in new markets, including highway tolling and border
and homeland security.
Another success that reinforces NCS’ overall
Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence
(C3I) and network-centric operations capabilities is
the Battle Control System fi elded in 2006. This
program modernizes and expands NORAD’s (North
American Aerospace Defense Command) ability to
monitor all air traffi c entering and fl ying within North
America’s airspace to better protect against possible
terrorist threats.
