The need for sharing accurate intelligence data is critical to our nation’s security. U.S. military forces deployed throughout the world, operating in joint environments, require real-time access to actionable intelligence. The Department of Defense’s response to this need is a global, Internet-like network in which both military and national agencies have access to time-sensitive intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) data. Raytheon’s solution – the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) – makes this vision a reality.
