Raytheon:
When it comes to missile defense, there’s a simple rule: You can’t stop what you can’t see.
The U.S. Army has an answer it calls battlefield situational awareness. Real-time, radar data, presented clearly, concisely and in an advanced visual style that’s easy to understand, can make the difference between life and death.
There is command and control technology for the Patriot® missile defense system that makes this possible: a warfighter machine interface, or WMI, and simply put, it’s the way that data is shown on screens. Raytheon is transforming WMI from black and white blips and pixilated shapes into a vibrant, 3-D-based interface with graphics that rival a modern-day video game. And it’s being rapidly developed, thanks to a unique partnership between the engineers advancing the tech and the soldiers whose lives will depend on it.
