Boeing has delivered the computer processors for use in a Northrop Grumman-built command system for the U.S. Army that is intended to help bolster air and missile defenses.
More than 40 processors will work to connect several Army weapons and sensor platforms to the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command Systems, Boeing said Monday.
The processors are designed to provide situational awareness and command and control tools to warfighters.
Allan Brown, vice president and program director of Boeing missile and defense systems, said the Army wants the processing units to help centralize its network of missile sensors and weapon systems.
Boeing build the processors to handle large volumes of data within the plug and fight network.
