IIS leads the way in developing innovative solutions for maximum results by combining our thorough understanding of our customers’ needs with our proven engineering skills and technical capabilities.
- Universal Control System (UCS)
Combined with best-of-breed gaming industry technologies with 35-years of UAS knowledge and expertise, Raytheon developed the UCS. UCS is a revolutionary, next-generation control system designed to address UAS operations issues by enhancing the performance and effectiveness of the operator. Raytheon designed UCS around the operator rather than building the system and the air vehicle first. UCS minimizes UAS issues by being operator-centric, and both situation awareness and operational capabilities are enhanced to support mission success. - Horizontal Integration
IIS enables customers to collaborate across separate organizations by integrating intelligence systems to create a system-of-systems through Horizontal Integration (HI). HI comprises the processes and capabilities to acquire, synchronize, correlate, and deliver actionable intelligence through cross-system collaboration. IIS partners with intelligence agencies on government-funded studies, as well as with government advisory panels and agencies to define both a long term vision for HI and near term opportunities for intelligence improvement based on integration of existing systems. - DCGS Integration Backbone (DIB)
IIS developed the DIB under the DCGS 10.2 contract to network all DCGS sites enabling the services to connect to other DCGS sites, while working to bring the military services closer to network-centric operations.
The DIB was built on a core service-oriented integrated architecture, leveraging Web services capabilities that power the Internet today. They used commercial open-standards, best practices and technologies to develop a “backbone” in which virtually any service can plug into seamlessly to share information. The DIB will facilitate the distribution of the right information at the right time to maximize situational awareness for operational effectiveness.
