[Satellite TODAY 04-27-11] Raytheon BBN Technologies was awarded $10 million in U.S. Department of Defense funding to develop technical solutions that will help maintain command and control systems for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Raytheon announced April 26.
    DARPA authorized the funds under its Resilient Command and Control (RC2) program, which aims to enhance mission assurance through better situational awareness, greater insight into the impact of changes that occur during missions, and adaptive re-planning.
    “Government operations rely on large-scale, distributed and complex computer systems to complete their missions successfully. Under the RC2 program, we will develop technologies to assess and mitigate the mission-related impact of anomalous behavior in these computer systems regardless of cause,” Raytheon BBN Technologies Spokesman John Zinky said in a statement.
