Raytheon to deliver unmatched anti-air Warfare Defense Technology to Australian Navy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australia’s first-of-class air warfare destroyer, HMAS Hobart, is receiving unmatched\u00a0anti-air warfare system by Raytheon, US-based company and world-leader in defense and cybersecurity solutions.<\/p>\n

The system has already been developed and tested by Raytheon<\/span><\/a> and will be certified by the U.S. Navy for installation aboard the Hobart, the first international installation for the system, the company confirmed in a media release<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Onboard the Royal Australian Navy\u2019s HMAS Hobart, Cooperative Engagement Capability system (CEC) will expand the ship\u2019s battlespace awareness by sharing sensor data among a network of other Australian and allied CEC-equipped ships and aircraft.<\/p>\n

CEC is a real-time \u2018sensor-netting\u2019 system that\u00a0collborates radar data into one integrated air picture from geographically separated ships, aircraft and ground-based units. This technology improves task force effectiveness by enabling longer range, cooperative, or layered engagements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe addition of CEC is a major building block for Australia in their defense against anti-air warfare threats in the Pacific Region,\u201d said U.S. Navy Captain Jonathan Garcia, CEC major program manager, Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems 6.0.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis delivery to Australia marks a significant first \u2013 expanding the CEC network globally and increasing the U.S. Navy interoperability with a valued, strategic ally.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The equipment – certified hardware and software – will be installed on Australia’s HMAS Hobart (DDG-39)<\/a><\/span>, and NUSHIP Brisbane (DDG-41)<\/a><\/span> in coming months, followed by a\u00a0comprehensive integration, test and evaluation period.<\/p>\n

Raytheon will actively support CEC system integration and testing, including scheduled sea trials, similar to support provided for the U.S. Navy fleet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
