[Satellite Today 11-18-08] Raytheon Co. has been awarded a task order by the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency to restore the available bandwidth of the Global Broadcast Service (GBS) satellite communications system over the Atlantic Ocean to support naval vessels and operations, Raytheon announced Nov. 18.
Under the Advanced Technology Support Program 3, Raytheon will complete the integration of the satellite broadcast manager facility in Norfolk, Va., with the U.S. Naval Station uplink in Rota, Spain, to provide GBS broadcast coverage over the Atlantic. Developed and operated by Raytheon, the GBS provides high-speed, high-volume intelligence and situational awareness data to military forces around the globe.
"The enhancement to GBS restores the bandwidth available to disseminate
mission essential intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance data to
warfighters transiting or operating in the Atlantic Ocean," Guy Dubois, vice president of Raytheon's Operational Technologies and Solutions, said in a statement.
