| Intelligent Battlefield
Systems |
| Textron Systems has been a major U.S. Army
contractor for more than thirty years. From key subsystems
on the Pershing II missile, to a family of sensors and weapon
systems that are critical to counter mobility and force protection
initiatives, as well as armored vehicles for the Military
Police, we provide "smart" systems that support
our troops and our nation.
The current world events have made us even more aware of
the critical commitment that we have to the soldiers. Our
counter mobility systems can play an important role in land
combat; our unattended ground sensors can protect our soldiers
as well as our fixed bases and assets against attacks and
incursions. |

Munitions Systems (IMS) |
 |
Textron Systems’ Intelligent
Munitions System (IMS) provides the Objective Force with
a rapidly emplaced means to dominate unmanned terrain,
deny enemy freedom, and assure the mobility of friendly
forces. IMS is a revolutionary networked system that combines
detailed sensor intelligence with precision munitions
to engage and destroy vehicles from light-wheeled through
heavy-tracked, as well as enemy personnel. It is based
on the battle-proven Sensor Fuzed Weapon technology that
was successfully deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom. |

Combat Systems (FCS) |
 |
FCS is a networked "system
of systems", using advanced communications and technologies
to link soldiers with both manned and unmanned ground
and air platforms and sensors. Textron Systems is a proud
partner of the FCS One Team as a developer of hand emplaced
and remotely delivered UGS systems capable of detection,
classification, location, and tracking of vehicles, personnel,
and aircraft in both rural and urban environments. |

| Terrain
Commander |
 |
A pioneer in the field of
integrated sensor technology, Textron Systems offers Terrain
Commander, a 24/7 wide-area early detection warning system
that helps protect and secure vulnerable key sites such
as airfields, nuclear power plants, chemical weapons facilities,
and national borders from terrorist activities and security
breaches. |

| Spider |
 |
A joint venture between
Textron Systems and Alliant TechSystems, Spider was designed
for the U.S. Army's Non-Self Destruct Alternative (NSD-A)
program, a key element of the Army's Anti-Personnel Landmine
Alternative (APL-A) initiative. Currently in development,
the system will include "man-in-the-loop" and
"off-on-off" munition controls, allowing the
soldier/Marine to remotely monitor/control, fire or deactivate
individual munitions within the field. Its enhanced capability
will also minimize injuries to friendly troops and non-combatants
during hostilities and following a conflict. This system
provides a capable and safer device that meets the needs
of the Army's Objective Force transformation initiative. |
