"This is a monumental event culminating a three-year prototype, design, implementation, integration and test effort," said Guy DuBois, vice president of Operational Technologies and Solutions for Raytheon. "GBS combines resources from across Raytheon to meet the requirements of the customer and ultimately the user."
This is the first of two planned upgrades that encompass a technology refresh of the GBS satellite broadcast manager transmit suites in Wahiawa, Hawaii; Norfolk, Va.; and Sigonella, Italy, with commercial off-the-shelf technologies employing Internet protocol transport.
The second simulcast transition will occur at the Norfolk and Sigonella facilities next year. Both upgrades are to the standards-based Enhanced Architecture System.
GBS supports the simultaneous broadcast of information to multiple warfighters using transportable receive terminals on the ground and fixed receivers on surface and subsurface vessels.
GBS wideband broadcasts consist of imagery, video (military and commercial), and data including intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicle feeds, logistics data, maps, weather, and operational orders.
