TEWKSBURY, Mass., July 31, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — Two software products
developed by Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) subsidiary Raytheon Solipsys are
key components of a recently fielded system managing airspace in Iraq.

The Battlespace Command and Control Center (BC3) employed by the U.S.
Central Command for airspace management in Iraq uses the Raytheon Solipsys
advanced track fusion engine, Multi-Source Correlator Tracker (MSCT), and
tactical visualization powered by the Tactical Display Framework (TDF).
Since its deployment to Iraq, BC3 successfully completed operational
testing and was fielded in February 2008 in response to an urgent
capabilities need for an improved command and control system to manage U.S.
and coalition air traffic in Iraq.

“With MSCT and TDF serving as the foundation of BC3, the Air Force is
better able to manage airspace over Iraq by integrating multiple radars and
displaying all air traffic,” said Mark Trenor, president of Raytheon
Solipsys. “With the fielding and testing of BC3, the Air Force airspace
management controllers and mission crews have gained a much more detailed
view of aircraft flying in an active Iraqi war zone. Also, it has the
capability to integrate ground movements in the future.”

BC3 was designed, built, tested and delivered in less than a year by a
team of contractors working for the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense
Command Battle Lab with Global War on Terrorism funding. The system also
includes two BC3 Mobile Training Systems. These movable assets were
designed to train U.S. Air Force crews in the U.S. and Europe who will be
deploying to Iraq.

Raytheon Solipsys, a wholly owned Raytheon Company subsidiary expert in
the design and develop of command and control software, is part of Raytheon
Integrated Defense Systems. IDS is Raytheon’s leader in Joint Battlespace
Integration providing affordable, integrated solutions to a broad
international and domestic customer base, including the U.S. Missile
Defense Agency, the U.S. Armed Forces and the Department of Homeland
Security.
