US Army awards $49 million contract to Motorola for joint services work station

Scottsdale 08 August 2000 The U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) has awarded Motorola a $49.7 million delivery-order contract for the Joint Services Work Station Production Program. The Joint Services Work Station (JSWS) is a real-time, multi-sensor Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) system that utilizes the same software as the JSTARS Common Ground Station (CGS) programme.

JSWS is combat proven and supports missions such as real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and situation awareness. The system is ideally suited for time critical targeting (TCT), theatre-missile defense, battlefield visualization and battlespace management.

JSWS acquires, processes, displays and disseminates information from multiple real-time sensors including Moving Target Indicator (MTI); Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR); Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV); Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) platforms; Signal Intelligence (SIGINT); Electronic Intelligence and other sources. The system utilizes the CGS software that provides the ability to interface with a robust suite of communications equipment for secure radio, satellite and landline communications.

Packed in its own transit cases, the JSWS is a mobile, highly deployable system that can support a wide range of global missions including wartime battlefield management; low, medium and high intensity crisis management; peace keeping operations; war on drugs; and contingency operations.
