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.
