New Satellite Program
Raytheon Company will lead an
industry team in pursuit of the Transformational Satellite
Communications System (TSAT) Mission Operations System (TMOS), a
program to provide the warfighter a secure, interoperable,
high-capacity global communications network. The contract
will be awarded in fiscal year 2005.
The TMOS program is valued at about $2 billion and is
administered by the MILSATCOM (Military Satellite Communications)
Joint Program Office at the Air Force Space and Missile Systems
Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, CA. The TMOS contract award is
scheduled for late fiscal year 2005.
TMOS will provide the Department of
Defense the network architecture development and the implementation
of the operations and network management elements for the U.S.
military's transformational communications initiative. TMOS
addresses lessons learned during Operations Iraqi Freedom and
Enduring Freedom by enabling Internet-like connectivity, extending
the Global Information Grid to the highly disadvantaged mobile
user, and improving the efficiency of communications by
transforming the way in which bandwidth is managed. Through
adaptive dynamic resource management, warfighters will be able to
access and provide information while maintaining quality of
service.
The Raytheon team, which includes Boeing, General Dynamics, and
AT&T, was assembled nearly one year ago, boasting an unrivaled
suite of capabilities in the areas of mission systems integration,
government and commercial networks, network security, and mobile
communications.
"The breadth and depth of our network development and operations
experience coupled with our ability to deliver large software
development programs on time and within budget are the key
discriminators in this pursuit," said Ray Kolibaba, vice president
of Space Systems for Raytheon. "By leveraging each teammate's
strengths, we can greatly benefit the customer and ultimately the
warfighter."
