Raytheon’s GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb II Completes Risk Reduction
Raytheon's GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb II Completes Risk ReductionSeptember 15, 2009
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) completed GBU-53/B datalink flight testing. This concludes all testing requirements for the company's Small Diameter Bomb II risk reduction program.
"The datalink met all key performance milestones and demonstrated the requirements needed to achieve 'technology readiness level 6,'" said Harry Schulte, Raytheon's vice president of Air Warfare Systems. "All other GBU-53/B subsystems have attained this technology readiness level as well, which means we are ideally postured to start engineering manufacturing development if we are awarded a contract."
Raytheon is competing for the U.S. Air Force's SDB II engineering manufacturing development contract, scheduled for award in 2010. Delivery of the first production rounds is planned for late 2013.
During the test, engineers evaluated both the Link 16 and UHF modes of the datalink, verifying the weapon was capable of receiving in-flight target updates and transmitting weapon in-flight track messages. The updates were used in the tests to slew the GBU-53/B's form-factored seeker to target locations on the ground.
The test was conducted using a U.S. Army UH-1 helicopter in late August. The UH-1 provided a cost-effective means to test the GBU-53/B hardware in a relevant environment and accumulate more data on each mission than would have been possible with a fast-moving jet aircraft.
Raytheon also completed another control test vehicle launch in late July using an F-15E launch aircraft.

Raytheon's airborne reconnaissance technology has been employed on multiple aircraft, including the RB-47; Combat Dawn drones; RC-135 Rivet Joint; Global Hawk; Predator Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS); Reaper UAS and the U-2 airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. In the last year alone, the U-2S has flown more than 15,000 hours worldwide.
"We are honored to receive this award from the AFA," Dugle said. "For more than 40 years, Raytheon has been a key contributor in the development and deployment of electronic sensors that collect signals from a variety of manned aircraft and drones. These technologies will continue to play a vital role in our nation's security."
Raytheon also produces the Distributed Common Ground System 10.2, which processes, exploits and disseminates data from the Global Hawk, Predator and U-2 airborne reconnaissance systems. Additionally, Raytheon delivers around-the-clock worldwide contractor field-service support for the U-2 program, providing preflight system checks, mission support during flight and post-mission problem analysis. Raytheon also performs new system installations and upgrades.
The U-2 aircraft, equipped with Raytheon's Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar System (ASARS-2A), provides long-range, high-resolution intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities over large areas and supports precision-guided munitions with geo-location accuracy. The side-looking airborne radar scans the ground on each side of the aircraft as it flies at a high altitude over the area of operations.
The ASARS-2A radar locates moving and stationary targets with its day and night, all-weather ground moving-target indicator, search and spot modes, and on-board processing mission capabilities. Raytheon's ASARS is the foundation for radars such as HISAR, Global Hawk, Crazy Hawk and ASTOR.

Raytheon Advances Maturity of Zumwalt’s Total Ship Computing Environment
Raytheon Advances Maturity of Zumwalt's Total Ship Computing EnvironmentFebruary 17, 2010
TEWKSBURY, Mass., -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) achieved another in a series of milestones for the Zumwalt-class destroyer program with the successful Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE) Release 6 software specifications review.
Zumwalt's TSCE is an advanced, open systems architecture that provides a scalable platform for cost-efficient delivery of new mission capability while capitalizing on the reuse of millions of lines of code from existing Navy programs. The system delivers an unprecedented level of Mission Systems Integration and automation. As such, it is a primary driver for the 60 percent reduction in manning for the Zumwalt-class destroyer versus the requirement for today's Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
"The success of our spiral development methodology for this program continues, ensuring that systems are validated as mature before progressing to full development," said Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems' (IDS) Bill Marcley, vice president of Total Ship Mission Systems. "With this review, all of the Zumwalt software requirements are complete, more than 80 percent of software coding is complete, and the program remains within budget and on schedule."
TSCE consists of six software releases, each version adding new features and robustness to the ship's mission capabilities. Release 6 is implementing more than 25,000 software requirements and will raise the total number of delivered lines of software code for Zumwalt to more than 9 million.
The Zumwalt-class destroyer will be the first in a family of surface combatant ships that provides unmatched capability to the U.S. Navy. The advanced technologies developed for the destroyer can be reused on future and modernized platforms. The benefits of Zumwalt's systems commonality are already being realized by the application of the Dual Band Radar on the new Ford-class aircraft carrier (CVN 78), as well as the application of the TSCE infrastructure for the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) and USS San Antonio (LPD 17) technology refresh efforts. The systems and software engineering approach used on Zumwalt yields an architecture well suited for capability enhancements to counter emerging threats. Additionally, it provides affordable new capabilities that address future mission requirements such as sea-based ballistic missile defense.
Raytheon performs software work for the Zumwalt program at a number of IDS mission centers across the country, including IDS Headquarters, Tewksbury, Mass.; Seapower Capability Center, Portsmouth, R.I.; Surveillance and Sensors Center, Sudbury, Mass.; and Expeditionary Warfare Center, San Diego, Calif.
