"The successful Factory Acceptance Testing is the latest in the major milestones we have achieved as part of our RB-10 program delivery," said David Conway, Integral Systems' RAIDRS Program Manager. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Air Force as we move into the deployment phase of the program, which will help the U.S. Military better detect, locate and categorize interference against its space assets."
Integral Systems is the RAIDRS RB-10 program prime contractor. RAIDRS is a ground-based defensive counterspace program. The system will provide near real-time event detection, characterization, geolocation and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) reporting for critical satellite communications systems, directly supporting combatant commanders. The United States Air Force's 16th Space Control Squadron (SPCS) operates RAIDRS. It is an Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) unit located at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, and assigned to the 21st Space Wing. The 16 SPCS is AFSPC's first defensive counterspace unit, and is currently responsible for operating the RAIDRS Deployable Ground Segment Zero supporting USCENTCOM in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters.
