“Raytheon Co., Dulles, Virginia, was awarded a $9,352,501 [contract]… to provide a wide range of Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System services to support the operational and strategic use of Department of Defense and subsidiary networks and capabilities within the US Central Command area of responsibility,” the release stated on Wednesday.
CENTRIXS is a collection of classified coalition networks, called enclaves, that enable information sharing through the use of email and Web services, instant messaging or chat, the Common Operational Picture service, and Voice over IP.
CENTRIXS supports US combatant commands throughout the world, including the Pacific (PACOM), Central (CENTCOM) and European (EUCOM) commands.
