Army, Raytheon work to make antenna farms history

Article Abstract:

Army and Raytheon Company are working together to develop multi-function antennas because the service is looking to replace the proliferation of many antennas found on most battlefield vehicles with just one. The cutting of the number of antennas on a vehicle saves money and reduces the visibility of a vehicle to enemies in combat and also a multi-functional radio system is a key goal of the Army Future Combat Systems (FCS) program to accommodate radar, active-protection, and high-data-rate communication.

Analyst: Army may separate ACS gear, aircraft

Article Abstract:

A military analyst believes that the US Army might decide to continue the development of the Aerial Common Sensor (ACS) surveillance gear, while delaying a decision on which aircraft would house those electronics in November 2005. ACS would be the electronic surveillance platform for the Army and Navy that would replace three systems, the Army's Guardrail Common Sensor and Airborne Reconnaissance Low and the Navy's EP-3E.
