WASHINGTON \u2014 As Lockheed Martin works on the U.S. Army\u2019s first ground-based integrated signals intelligence, electronic warfare and cyber system, the company is placing a heavy focus on coalition interoperability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army awarded Lockheed a $6 million other transaction authority contract \u2014 a highly flexible contracting tool \u2014 in May to build the first phase of the Terrestrial Layer System-Large. Boeing subsidiary Digital Receiver Technology also won an award for the program<\/a> for $7.6 million. The two companies will build and outfit their systems to Stryker vehicles during the 16-month-long phase one, while also participating in operational assessments, after which the Army will choose one company to move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Wojnar, director for cyber and electronic warfare strategy at Lockheed, told C4ISRNET in a July interview that the company had a keen eye toward integrating its system with international partners as well as the Army, given the U.S. military doesn\u2019t fight alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing able to bring in our coalition partners, maybe starting with the Five Eyes<\/a> first and in particular the U.K., and aligning the architecture that we provided \u2026 really drove us to the architecture that we came up with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
