TEWKSBURY, Mass., 5 Sept. 2008.The Raytheon Company was recognized in the presentation of the U.S. Navy's 2008 Team Submarine Excellence Award to the Navy's Submarine Acoustic Systems Program Office (PMS 401) and Submarine Combat System Program Office (PMS 425). As a member of the team, Raytheon was cited for the development and successful delivery of the ARCI and AN/BYG-1 TI-06 submarine sonar and combat control systems.
The award, which is presented by the Navy's Program Executive Office for Submarines (PEO SUB) each year, recognizes teams for outstanding technical knowledge, hard work, and exceptional commitment to excellence for a submarine-related program.
At a ceremony held at Raytheon's Seapower Capability Center, U.S. Navy Captain Brian Vance commended the Raytheon team for its contributions to the success of the BYG-1 program.
AN/BYG-1 has been designated as the baseline combat system for the Navy's submarine fleet. The system exploits the power of sonar, electronic support measures, radar, navigation, periscopes, communication, command, and weapons to provide a fully integrated submarine combat system.
The system was designed using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment and open standards that provide interoperability, portability, scalability and supplier independence for all hardware and software components. In addition, the AN/BYG-1 system allows for rapid COTS insertion to accommodate and integrate additional functionality, sensors, and/or weapons.
Raytheon IDS is the AN/BYG-1 systems integrator for the combat control suites aboard Virginia-, Los Angeles-, Seawolf-, Ohio- (SSGN), and Australia's Collins-class submarines.
