DULLES, Va., June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) and CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced they have signed
a comprehensive teaming agreement to compete for the Army Training
Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulations Maintenance Program
(ATMP).
This new teaming agreement leverages Raytheon's proven expertise
in high consequence training program management, systems
integration and enterprise logistics with CSC's proven range and
virtual training systems operations, maintenance and management
expertise. Raytheon and CSC are currently partners in the Warrior
Training Alliance (WTA), a Raytheon-led team of more than 150
companies that provides training support to the U.S. Army on the
Warfighter Field Operations Customer Support (FOCUS) contract. The
WTA also helps train U.S. Army soldiers, allied and coalition
partners around the world.
"There simply is no better team than Raytheon and CSC to support
the U.S. Army as they train to meet the uncertain threats of the
future," said Bob Williams, vice
president of Raytheon's Global Training Solutions business. "We've
proven on Warfighter FOCUS, and we will again on ATMP, that we
bring not only the best experience, expertise and resources, but
also the right dedication and focus on ensuring that the Warfighter
receives the best possible training solution."
Through Warfighter FOCUS
(http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/wta/), Raytheon and
the WTA have helped save the U.S. Army more than $300 million since 2008 in maintaining more than
250,000 training aids, devices and simulators. The WTA's Warfighter
Support Center, our responsive logistics, on-site repair and
maintenance support depot, helped enable these savings through
24/7, around the world support as can be seen in the accompanying
video. Raytheon's proprietary management information system,
called the Automated Toolset for Lifecycle Activities and Services
Management Information System (ATLAS MIS), helps reduce program
risk and provides unparalleled transparency and customer insight
into data down to the work order level.
"CSC intends to further the team's current successes in
supporting the U.S. Army's training requirements," said
Larry Prior, executive vice
president and general manager of CSC's North American Public
Sector. "Our record of achieving 98 percent operational readiness
over the past seven years on the program reflects our deep
commitment to the customer, mission and team."
