Raytheon has won a $14 million in options to provide design agent and engineering services in support of the Navy’s Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC).

CEC is a sensor netting system that improves anti-air warfare capability by extracting and distributing sensor-derived information such that the superset of this data is available to all participating CEC units, the Defense Department said in a release. 

It improves battle force effectiveness by improving overall situational awareness and by enabling longer range, cooperative, multiple or layered engagement strategies, the Defense Department said.

Work will be performed in St. Petersburg, Fla., and is expected to be completed in October 2016.
