Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, Sudbury, Massachusetts, is being awarded a $42,913,894 cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price contract for the Surveillance Radar Program to provide Taiwan with the elements of a missile and air defense capability. Specifically, this system includes a ultra high frequency phased array radar integrated with Taiwan-furnished Identification Friend-or-Foe beacons; two Missile Warning Centers; and communications and interface architecture and protocol to specified Taiwan mission elements via the Taiwan military communications infrastructure, consistent with U.S. government restrictions. Electronic Systems Center, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, is the contracting activity.

Raytheon Network Centric Systems, St. Petersburg, Florida, is being awarded a $67,407,373 modification to previously awarded contract for design agent and engineering support services in support of the Cooperative Engagement Capabilities (CEC) Program. CEC is a sensor netting system that significantly improves battle force anti-air warfare capability by extracting and distributing sensor-derived information such that the superset of this data is available to all participating CEC units. CEC improves battle force effectiveness by improving overall situational awareness and by enabling longer range, cooperative, multiple, or layered engagement strategies. This contract action combines purchases for the U.S. Navy, and the government of Australia under the Foreign Military Sales Program.  The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity.

Raytheon Company, Integrated Defense Systems, San Diego, California, is being awarded a $7,228,070 cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-award-fee modification to previously awarded contract to exercise options for fiscal 2012 Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) platform systems engineering agent efforts. SSDS is a combat system that integrates and coordinates all of the existing sensors and weapon systems onboard ships. Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity.

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is announcing the award of an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, of Woburn, Massachusetts, under MDA contract HQ0147-12-D-0005. The total ceiling award value is $307,580,000. Under this new contract, the contractor will perform sustainment efforts to maintain software required to operate the X-band family of radars and Ballistic Missile Defense System test planning, execution and analysis. The MDA, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is the contracting activity.

Raytheon BBN Technologies Corporation, Cambridge, Massachusetts, is being awarded an $8,448,523 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. The Broad Operational Language Technology Program has a goal of creating technology capable of translating multiple foreign languages in all genres, retrieving information from the translated material, and enabling bilingual communication via speech or text. Specifically, this contractor will conduct work for activity A, "Genre-Independent Translation and Information Retrieval System"; activity B, "Human-Machine Communication System"; Activity C, "Human-Human Dialogue System"; and Activity D, "Arabic Dialect Components." The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is the contracting activity.

Raytheon Company, Integrated Defense Systems, Tewksbury, Massachusetts, is being awarded a $10,110,934 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for research and development activities associated with Integrated Power Systems power load modules design, and pulsed power loads for future surface combatants. Raytheon will provide the research and development of an advanced Integrated Power Systems power load module that may be used for pulse forming networks that could power future lasers, railguns, or radars. The initial effort will include further refinement of their unique approach to the concept, documenting how the approach could be eventually implemented in a shipboard configuration to meet projected pulsed loads powering needs. The concept will also be used to implement energy storage on the future design that may be used in a multi-purpose manner, allowing the energy to be used for the weapon system and for shipboard powering. Raytheon will apply their unique concept approach to a set of notional performance expectations developed by Raytheon in conjunction with the Navy. The Naval Sea Systems Command is the contracting activity.

Northrop Grumman Space and Mission Systems Corporation, San Diego, California; Rockwell Collins Incorporated, Government Systems, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Raytheon Company, Space and Airborne Systems, El Segundo, California, are each being awarded a $47 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for the Trinity Program, which seeks to develop a "navigation warfare sensor" that could replace traditional Global Positioning System receivers on a variety of Department of Defense platforms, resulting in a significant increase in the number of future weapon systems operating in highly challenged electromagnetic environments, having the capability to support electronic support operations as a part of planned missions. Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force base, Ohio, is the contracting activity.

Raytheon System Company, McKinney, Texas, was recently awarded $9,840,000 firm-fixed-price contract for 10 multispectral targeting systems in support of Navy MH-60S helicopters. The multispectral targeting system provides long-range surveillance, high-altitude target acquisition, tracking, range-finding, and laser designation for the Hellfire missile, and for all tri-service and NATO laser-guided munitions. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane, Indiana, is the contracting activity.

Raytheon Company, Integrated Defense Systems, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, is being awarded a $81,700,000 firm-fixed-price contract to procure 24 MH-60R Airborne Low Frequency Sonar Systems and all associated program management support for lot nine production. The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.

Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, Portsmouth, Rhode Island, is being awarded an $8,796,601 modification under previously awarded contract to fabricate, assemble, test and deliver five Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) low rate initial production systems. The AMNS will explosively neutralize bottom and moored mines using an expendable mine neutralize device. The system will be deployed from the MH-60 helicopter as part of the littoral combat ship mine countermeasures mission module. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington D.C., is the contracting activity.
