United States : Boeing, Raytheon partners in bid to develop Royal Saudi AF command-and-control
Publish Date : 27-Feb-2015
Boeing announced that it would be joining Raytheon, in order to provide the Royal Saudi Air Force a new and comprehensive command-and-control system as part of the service's development plan, declared by Raytheon during an international defense exhibition in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
"Raytheon intends to build on our long and proven history in the successful development and global deployment of command and control systems by providing the best C5I solution to our Royal Saudi Air Force customer," said Bob Delorge, vice president, Raytheon C4I Systems. "Boeing's system of systems and platform experience is a strong complement to our highly capable technologies and proven performance."
Added Paul Geery, vice president, Boeing C3 solutions: "Boeing has enjoyed a partnership with Saudi Arabia for nearly 70 years, so working with Raytheon to modernize the RSAF's command-and-control capability is important to us.” Furthermore, Raytheon said it contrives to render the Saudis a tailored version of its C5I systems approach, based on its Command View Mission Solutions -- a suite of merged and interoperable command-and-control abilities.
