Partnership-based capability bridges the gap between data and decision-making

ARLINGTON, Va., March 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has been awarded a follow-on contract from the U.S. Army Futures Command, Futures and Concepts Center to continue to utilize its Rapid Campaign Analysis and Demonstration Environment, or RCADE, modeling and simulation capability.

During the initial contract, Raytheon developed large-scale theater scenarios to assess concepts of operations in a multi-domain conflict. In this follow-on effort, Raytheon will establish a continuous experimentation environment with RCADE to enable the U.S. Army's concept developers and Battle Labs to inform strategic force design decisions.

"This contract demonstrates the U.S. Army's confidence in our ability to quickly analyze options and adapt solutions to meet evolving needs," said Colin Whelan, president of Advanced Technology at Raytheon. "In partnership, we're helping to provide the operational perspective to optimize decision-making through data-driven modeling and simulation insights."

Raytheon's RCADE capabilities enable analysts from the Raytheon Advanced Technology team to work with the Army team to ensure a continuous feedback loop between modeling and simulation and emerging real-world threats.

This iterative, partnership-based approach enables rapid innovation and experimentation that other Department of Defense agencies can leverage to quickly test and refine solutions for their own unique challenges.
