Integrated Air Defense
Raytheon Solipsys is recognized as an industry pioneer in modern Command and Control and Integrated Air Defense (IAD) systems. Deployed since 1997 by all branches of the United States military and international defense agencies, our solutions form the basis of many mission-critical systems, such as the US Army’s Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS), the US Air Force’s Non-Organic Radar Access (NORA) program, and two large Australian efforts. Our solutions provide our customers with real-time visualization and control of weapons, surveillance assets, and tactical data links packaged as a flexible, integrated system designed for future growth.
Battle Control Center-CENTAF (BC3)
The Battle Control Center-CENTAF (BC3) is a Warfighter Urgent Capability Need (WUCN) request for the replacement of the Modular Control Equipment (AN/TYQ-23) assets now deployed in support of OIF and OEF. The BC3 WUCN project acquires command and control (C2) software and associated computer/server equipment to support air battle management functions and capabilities.
Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS)
The Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS) system consists of an aerostat with general-purpose and precision tracking radars to provide over-the-horizon surveillance for defense against cruise missiles and other low-altitude targets. The system enhances cruise missile detection and provides an effective fire control solution for joint theater air and missile defense weapon systems. JLENS operates at altitudes over 10,000 feet and can stay aloft up to thirty days at a time, providing 24-hour-per-day coverage over extended areas. Raytheon Solipsys personnel, in conjunction with other contractors and Government personnel, have integrated key technologies such as MSCT and TDF into JLENS to support mission operations, mission support, fusion correlation, and various external system interfaces, including the US Navy Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), Link-16, and the Air and Missile Defense Workstation (AMDWS). A Milestone C decision is expected in 2009 with full rate production occurring in 2010.
Non-Organic Radar Access (NORA)
The Non-Organic Radar Access (NORA) program required that the USAF Control and Reporting Center (CRC) Modular Control Equipment (MCE) have access to non-organic radars such as FAA radars and TPS-75s. In October 2004, Solipsys developed nine MSCT/TDF systems to integrate FAA and other radars into the Modular Control Equipment (MCE). These systems were provided to the Air Force Air Combat Command (ACC) through the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) center in Patuxent River, Maryland. Solipsys is currently supporting NAWC’s efforts to deploy these systems within the Continental United States (CONUS) via phone and email. Two systems have also been deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
