battle-proven air-to-air missile that also has a surface-to-air launch application; the Tomahawk cruise missile, an advanced
surface- or submarine-launched cruise missile with loitering and network communication capability; Small Diameter Bomb
II, a 250-pound class air-to-ground glide weapon with a tri-mode seeker and dual-band data link; the Joint Standoff Weapon
(JSOW), a family of air-to-ground weapons that employ an integrated GPS/inertial navigation system that guides the weapon
to the target; the Paveway™ family of laser- and GPS-guided smart bombs; the AIM-9X Sidewinder short-range air-to-air
missile; the Miniature Air-Launched Decoy (MALD®); the High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) and the HARM
Targeting System; and the Maverick precision strike missile.
Air and Missile Defense Systems (A&MDS)—A&MDS designs, develops, produces and supports air defense and ballistic
missile defense interceptor systems. A&MDS' primary customers are the MDA, the U.S. Navy and various international navies
around the world. A&MDS develops, manufactures and supports the Standard Missile family of weapons with capabilities
ranging from anti-air warfare to ballistic missile defense. A&MDS is responsible for the first line of ship-defense weapons -
the Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) and the SM-6. A&MDS is also responsible for the SM-3, which is a core element of the MDA's
Phased Adaptive Approach to global missile defense. A&MDS builds and supports the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV),
which is part of the U.S. ground-based midcourse defense system that defends against ballistic missile attack. A&MDS is also
involved in a number of advanced missile defense concepts that seek to pace the evolving ballistic missile threat.
Naval Weapon Systems (NWS)—NWS products and services provide layered defense capability for the navies of more than
30 countries. The NWS product portfolio provides highly effective layered ship defense across multiple platforms to counter
the anti-ship threats of today and tomorrow. NWS leverages its capabilities to provide forward-operating base defense for the
U.S. Army, Air Force and Marine Corps. NWS produces the Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (afloat and ashore), the Rolling
Airframe Missile (RAM), the SeaRAM and the Evolved Seasparrow/Sparrow family of missiles for ship self-defense against
air and surface threats. Additionally, NWS continues to expand its commitment to international cooperative endeavors with
international partners and to evolve its products and technologies to encompass the full spectrum of threats, including the
protection of land bases and high-value infrastructure sites to counter terrorist threats.
Land Combat—Land Combat provides precision missiles and projectiles to the U.S. Army and Marine Corps and more than
40 allied nations. Land Combat focuses on accelerating the deployment of precision munitions capability to land combat
forces and on expanding its mission support capabilities. Land Combat provides the Stinger weapon system for air defense;
the tube-launched optically-tracked wireless-guided (TOW) weapon system, a long-range precision anti-armor/anti-
fortification/anti-amphibious-landing weapon system; the Javelin, a shoulder-fired fire-and-forget anti-tank weapon; and
Excalibur, a GPS-guided artillery round designed to provide organic indirect precision fire for ground forces. Land Combat
is also developing two new products: Laser-Guided Rocket (LGR), a low-cost, lightweight, rapidly deployable and lethal
weapon for helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, and the Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW II) for the
U.S. Marine Corps.
Other MS product lines include Advanced Missiles and Unmanned Systems, and Advanced Security and Directed Energy
Systems (AS&DES). Advanced Missiles and Unmanned Systems focuses on the development and early introduction of next-
generation, end-to-end system solutions that support the AWS, NWS and Land Combat product lines, and leads MS' entry
into unmanned systems. AS&DES pursues opportunities in the directed energy and adjacent markets, including the
development of force protection solutions, information operations/information assurance (IO/IA), high-power microwave,
high-energy laser systems, space applications, and counterterrorism solutions.
Network Centric Systems (NCS)—NCS, headquartered in McKinney, Texas, is a leading provider of net-centric enabled
mission solutions for federal, state and local government, and civil customers. NCS leverages its capabilities in networking,
sensors, command and control, and communications to develop and produce solutions for customers in key markets such as
U.S. Army modernization, international and domestic homeland security, civil communications, and transportation solutions.
NCS key customers include the DoD and other U.S. Government customers, as well as numerous international customers.
In 2011, the U.S. Army chose NCS' Improved Sentinel Radar as an important tool for battlefield Counter-Rocket, Artillery
and Mortar (CRAM) sense and warning, and awarded NCS a multi-year contract for the purchase of radars. NCS won a
contract for its Enhanced Precision Location Radio System (EPLRS) as the digital radio backbone solution for Australia's
Battlefield Command Support System. NCS continued production and global deployment of enhanced Electro-Optic systems,
and performed as a principal source of sensors and targeting solutions for the new U.S. Army Ground Combat Vehicle and
multiple platform upgrades for the U.S. military and international customers. Raytheon BBN Technologies' (Raytheon BBN)
