 Tewkesbury,
Mass (UPI) - An air and missile defense
operations center that will integrate U.S. and
European defense and radar systems is to be
designed and built for Qatar by Raytheon.The work, which carries a maximum value of $75.6 million, comes under an undefinitized contract action for a Foreign Military Sales contract. The ADOC, the first in the Gulf region, is part of the Qatari armed forces modernization and recapitalization effort announced earlier this year. In addition to providing the capability to integrate U.S. and European air defense systems and radars, the system will be integrated with Qatar's Raytheon-made air operations center. "This contract reinforces the depth of our
systems integration capability and expertise in
integrated air and missile defense," said
Raytheon's Dave Gulla, vice president of
Integrated Defense Systems' Global Integrated
Sensors business area. "The ADOC will have the
latest command and control, cyber, and
information assurance capability in partnership
with the Air Force to enhance regional security
and meet the State of Qatar's requirements." |
