Raytheon wins second increment of DTRA contract with PHL

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 5): Raytheon wins second increment of DTRA contract with PHL

Raytheon Company, one of the world's leading electronic and radar manufacturers, announced that it has won the USD25-million contract for the second increment of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) maritime border security program for the Republic of the Philippines.

Under this contract, the American firm will deliver sensing, command and control, and communications systems along with the training and sustainment services necessary to operationalize maritime border security capabilities.

Specific work planned under the increment II contract includes:

* Installation of a common operating picture platform in the National Coast Watch Control (NCWC) and National Coast Watch Stations in two different Philippine provinces.

* Design, installation and testing of electro/optical infrared cameras.

* Continued integration of command, control, and communications equipment and infrastructure.

* Construction of a training center.

* Communications and surveillance upgrades to Philippine Coast Guard vessels.

* Sustainment, training, and transition of capabilities to the government of the Philippines.

"Under this latest contract award, Raytheon will enable the government of the Philippines to stand up a fully-operational security capability that detects, deters, and prevents threats along its coastal borders," Raytheon Intelligence Information and Services president Dave Wajsgras said.

"This work continues our strong partnership with the Republic of the Philippines and our direct support of DTRA's efforts to help nations secure their borders and coastlines," he added.

Work under this contract builds on the first increment, a two-year, USD19-million Raytheon effort that significantly increased the maritime situational awareness of the Philippines, including the design and construction of the recently opened NCWC.

This increment provided the ability to integrate data from various agencies into the NCWC and enabled new sensing and communications capabilities.

 

Raytheon's work in the Philippines is part of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Integrating Contract (CTRIC II) awarded in April 2011 as a multiple award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract.
