Large-scale modeling and simulation will help military
leaders quickly solve highly complex problems across
domains
ARLINGTON, Va., July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX)
business, has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Army Futures
Command (AFC) Futures and Concepts Center (FCC) to conduct theater
level concept experimentation and mission analysis to support agile
learning of the future battlefield.
Under the contract, a Raytheon team will use its Rapid Campaign
Analysis and Demonstration Environment, known as RCADE, to develop
large-scale theater scenarios to help FCC leaders assess concepts
of operations in a multi-domain conflict. Quantitative data and
findings from the scenarios will help identify capabilities needed
to succeed in future conflicts.
"RCADE helps our customers look at some of the most difficult
missions and evaluate how to change the outcome for the positive,"
said Colin Whelan, president of
Advanced Technology at Raytheon. "Our team of highly trained
experts power this groundbreaking capability, enabling it to
deliver credible, unbiased solutions."
RCADE is part of Raytheon's integrated ecosystem of modeling and
simulation capabilities that are fed by real-world analytics,
models, and data. It creates an experimentation environment where
customers can explore battlefield scenarios, assess how different
variables impact mission outcomes and quickly iterate their options
with greater speed.
In tandem with RCADE, the technical expertise provided by
Raytheon engineers will complement the U.S. Army's analysis
enterprise. They will work together to meet the challenge of the
future and solve complex evolving threats.
