Press Release, Arlington VA, 24 March 2025: Raytheon, an RTX business, has been awarded a follow-on contract from the US Army Futures Command, Futures and Concepts Center to continue to utilise its Rapid Campaign Analysis and Demonstration Environment, or RCADE, modelling and simulation capability.
During the initial contract, Raytheon developed large-scale theatre 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 US Army’s concept developers and Battle Labs to inform strategic force design decisions.
“This contract demonstrates the US Army’s confidence in our ability to quickly analyse 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 optimise decision-making through data-driven modelling 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 modelling 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.
