Raytheon Co. has won a six-month, $2.9
million contract from the commonwealth of Massachusetts to install
intelligence analysis software for the state’s antiterror fusion center,
the Office of Governor Mitt Romney announced.
Under the contract, Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems of
Falls Church, Va., will provide software, integration services,
installation, training and follow-on support. The company will be
responsible for integrating information from multiple law-enforcement
databases that will help identify trends and patterns in potential
terrorist activity.
The contract includes options for four years of follow-on support and
software maintenance.
Raytheon’s subcontractor on the project is Knowledge Computing Corp.
of Tucson, Ariz., which is providing its Coplink software suite for the
project.
The mission of the fusion center will be to facilitate critical and
timely information sharing from the Homeland Security Department and the
FBI to first responders. The fusion center, which is expected to be
fully operational by 2007, is currently staffed with 15 analysts and 23
intelligence officers.
The Massachusetts State Police Department will oversee the project, the
governor’s office said.
Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems is a unit of Raytheon Co.
of Lexington, Mass. The company has more than 80,000 employees and
annual sales of $20.2 billion.
Raytheon ranks No. 7 on Washington Technology’s 2005 Top 100 list, which
measures federal contracting revenue.
