C4ISR Systems

Issue: June-July 2012

Raytheon’s Athena System: Athena is a network-centric, multi-domain command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) system for high performance situation awareness, fusion, and analysis and knowledge management. By exploiting information from global sources—including sensors, databases and intelligence—Athena delivers persistent surveillance, situational awareness and anomaly detection aids to reduce operator workload. Athena uses a modern, extendable and open C4ISR enterprise-grade framework allowing the integration of a wide range of sensors and supports collaboration across command centres. It employs user-friendly and role-based methods of managing correlated information and sharing across local, regional or global joint command interests. Athena delivers fast and flexible multi-domain awareness for rapid operational deployments using proven components. It also has applicability for other homeland security missions.

Rockwell Collins: With net-enabled systems, Rockwell Collins has put the innovative technology in place. We can expand our network’s reach with proven, full-spectrum capability that connects every warfighter in the network with a secure, up-to-the-minute flow of tactical and near real-time situational information. These network systems that seamlessly integrate valuable legacy assets with cutting-edge technology can integrate forces on land, sea and air. Fully scalable to the changing needs of platforms and missions, Rockwell Collins solutions are currently in theatre which can provide the connectivity and situational awareness that is required for a common operating picture, shared on multiple platforms, can keep all concerned connected and aware. The principle is that you get the information you need—when you need it.
