DULLES, Va., Dec. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company
(NYSE: RTN) has submitted its proposal for the U.S. Army's
next-generation, global training support program.
The Raytheon project team consists of proven industry leaders
CSRA, General Dynamics and Leidos, as well as 17 small, hub-zone,
women, veteran and disabled-veteran-owned businesses. Today,
Raytheon provides training in 127 countries and in 29 different
languages.
Raytheon is offering InSITE™, its innovative, user-friendly and
mobile-enabled management information system. The Army Training
Aids, Devices, Simulations and Simulators Maintenance Program calls
for training support and sustainment services for more than 320,000
Army training devices and more than 90 digital ranges around the
world. The goal: to help enable Army mission readiness.
ATMP is a competitive follow-on to the successful U.S. Army
Warfighter FOCUS program. Awarded to Raytheon in 2007, WFF involved
similar training and logistics work performed globally at more than
500 sites. Raytheon managed training support for almost every
soldier around the world and saved the Army more than $400 million in training sustainment costs over
eight years.
"Raytheon brings unmatched experience in maintaining and
sustaining the US Army's Combat Training Centers, Army training
devices and ranges to help drive and enable readiness," said
Pete Vangjel, vice president of
Raytheon's Global Training Solutions business. "Along with that
experience, we bring the Army the best the industry has to offer
with the lowest-risk and most cost-effective approach."
Raytheon's InSITE™ delivers advanced analytics, customizable
user interfaces, dashboards and ironclad data integrity to standard
Army mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets. Raytheon
invested $6.5 million to develop
InSITE™ specifically for ATMP.
The system transforms diverse, multi-year and multiple-device
maintenance and program data into decision-ready, actionable
information. Users can pull in and access maintenance, contracts,
finance, supply chain and other systems information from anywhere
in the world, in near real-time, 24/7/365.
Other innovations include:
- Cybersecurity tools and hardening from Raytheon, a world leader
in the cyber field.
- Streamlined, automated work order processes that eliminate
human error while increasing flexibility and response time.
- A new user interface that offers the ability to create
individualized information centers, custom reports and instant
alerts.
