Aero-News learned this week Raytheon Technical Services Company
LLC (RTSC), a subsidiary of Raytheon Company, has received two
awards totaling $27.7 million from the US Navy to provide services
and systems for the V-22 Osprey aircraft. The Naval Air Systems
Command in Patuxent River, MD is the contracting activity.
The first contract allows RTSC's Indianapolis facility to
continue providing systems and software engineering services for
the V-22. Aircraft avionics acquisition support services are also
included.
The second award provides for continued development of the V-22
mission planning system, interactive situational-awareness system,
desktop environment software, simulation products, and laboratory
capability packages. All work will be performed in the Indianapolis
facility, which has provided avionics systems and software for the
V-22 for more than 20 years.
"These awards demonstrate the level
of customer satisfaction with the support RTSC has provided the
V-22 over the course of the aircraft's history," said John
Balaguer, RTSC vice president and general manager of the company's
Indianapolis-based business unit. "We have worked closely with the
customer since the inception of the V-22 program to provide
solutions and support that ensure the aircraft's mission success.
Consistently proven products and services and knowledgeable program
personnel who repeatedly demonstrate their quick-reaction
capability have given the customer the confidence to continually
increase our role on the program."
RTSC provides technical, scientific and professional services
for defense, federal and commercial customers worldwide. It
specializes in Mission Support, counter-proliferation and
counter-terrorism, base and range operations and customized
