Army awards overseas combat training deal

A Raytheon unit will provide training support for U.S. and coalition forces in Kuwait under a $44 million contract.

Under the contract, Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC and its subcontracting team will upgrade and maintain an advanced combat training program for the U.S. Third Army Command in Kuwait, company officials said today. The work is being done as part of the Warfighter Field Operations Customer Support program.

Raytheon’s key subcontractors on the Warrior Training Alliance are Computer Sciences Corp., General Dynamics Information Technology, and MPRI, the officials said. MPRI is a division of L-3 Communications Corp.

Raytheon announced last week that it had won a $100 million contract from the Air Force to provide computers that are used for identification-friend-or-foe systems. 

Raytheon Technical Services Company, of Reston, Va., is a unit of Raytheon Co., of Waltham, Mass.
