Raytheon gets Pentagon computer contract MARLBOROUGH, Mass., March 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Information Systems Agency has awarded a computer contract to Raytheon. Under terms of the contract Raytheon is to continue supporting the global research, test and evaluation Combined Federated Battle Laboratories Network computer system used by U.S. and coalition forces, the company said. CFBLNet allows for the testing of new multinational information-sharing capabilities before they're uploaded to the military operational networks used worldwide to support Combatant Command operations. CFBLNet allows coalition forces to know in advance which computer networking capabilities will assist them in sharing information data and intelligence more quickly and efficiently. "Flexibility and responsiveness to rapidly changing schedules and priorities are another example of Raytheon's support for U.S. and coalition forces," said Mike Prout, Raytheon Network Centric Systems vice president of Security and Transportation Systems. Together, we are ensuring the ability of coalition forces around the globe to explore, promote and confirm capabilities and interoperability before fielding.
