Raytheon [RTN] will provide an integrated electronics suite (IES) for the Italian Navy’s multi-purpose vessel program under a foreign military award of $31.8 million equipping the Italian government with the newest data collection capability that meets national requirements. The U.S. Navy’s Naval Sea Systems Command is the contracting agency.

Under the contract, Raytheon will deliver an IES composed of off-the-shelf electronic, communications and satellite communications hardware as well as a ship-wide area network, and data display decision hardware. Systems engineering, integration and test, and installation and support will also be provided. The IES system designed and integrated by Raytheon will gather, archive, correlate and interpret data and transmit reports to an existing Shore Analysis Center that is operated by Italian authorities.
