Raytheon to develop algorithms and sensor network for combat airspace management

摘要

U.S. military researchers are looking to Raytheon Technologies Corp. to help develop a virtual and live testbed for combat airspace management. Officials of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., have announced an $7.6 million contract to the Raytheon Intelligence & Space segment in Tewksbury, Mass., as part of the Air Space Total Awareness for Rapid Tactical Execution (ASTARTE) program. Raytheon experts will develop the Airspace TacticaL Automation System (ATLAS) for the ASTARTE program, in which they will develop and demonstrate a virtual and live testbed for airspace management systems, algorithms for airspace planning and operations, and a sensor network for real-time spatial and temporal tracking of manned and unmanned aircraft.
