Raytheon Continues Early Deliveries for DDG 1000

Raytheon Company has delivered critical mission systems early for the U.S. Navy's DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer. The ship's first Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE) data center and AN/SQS-60 mid-frequency sonar array were delivered two and eight months ahead of schedule, respectively.

"The early delivery of these ship systems continues our history of stellar performance on this complex program as we effectively manage the transition from development to production while remaining on cost and on schedule," said Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems' (IDS) Kevin Peppe, vice president of Seapower Capability Systems.

"We are committed to the ongoing development and delivery of these highly capable and effective mission systems that will, without a doubt, make DDG 1000 the most advanced surface combatant in the world," he said.
