Raytheon to develop Advanced Battle Management System

Air June 24, 2020

Raytheon Intelligence and Space has been awarded a multiple award IDIQ to participate in the US Air Force’s development of the Advanced Battle Management System.

The Advanced Battle Management System is a future command and control network that will connect military platforms across the globe, giving military commanders the ability to make decisions faster.

Under a multiple award, IDIQ contract valued up to $950 million over the next five years with options beyond, RI&S will participate in the support of the maturation, demonstration and proliferation of capability across platforms and domains to enable Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2).

“ABMS will transform the future battlespace for the US Air Force by delivering the right data at the right time to the right people so they can make the right decisions fast,” said Barbara Borgonovi, vice president of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems, at Raytheon Intelligence & Space. “This is the first step to delivering the Air Force’s vision of JADC2, which will link capabilities across all domains – air, land, sea, cyber and space.”

To support this effort, RI&S has the opportunity to contribute open systems design, modern software and algorithm development for the future system. Under the terms of the multiple award contract, the Air Force will run competitions under each category that will be issued as task and delivery orders.

RI&S will be supported by Raytheon Missiles & Defense.
