FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Air Force has purchased
two Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) Enhanced High Band Subsystems plus spares,
which will be used to upgrade two EC-130H Compass Call aircraft. The 30-
month, sole source contract is valued at $19.7 million.
Compass Call is a U.S. Air Force offensive, standoff jamming aircraft that
suspends enemy air defenses by blocking their defense systems with wide-area
countermeasures. Compass Call collects and processes information, while
denying the enemy's ability to do the same.
Raytheon's Enhanced High Band Subsystem-a key element of Compass Call's
information warfare capability-increases the Air Force's ability to process
information gathered from its adversaries. Raytheon has provided Compass Call
high band subsystems for 18 years. Under the new contract, the company will
outfit two Compass Call aircraft with a new system that expands frequency
coverage and enhances their ability to process information.
With headquarters in Lexington, Mass., Raytheon Company is a global
technology leader in defense, government and commercial electronics, and
business and special mission aircraft.
