	Customer: U.S. Army under subcontract to Raytheon Mission: A2C2S equips selected Army UH-60L Blackhawk helicopters with a mission equipment package that transforms them into airborne command posts. The system enables commanders and their staffs-at brigade, division and above-to maintain digital command, control and communication while moving through the battlespace at 120 miles per hour. Called "C2 on-the-move," the new capability allows commanders to go wherever they are needed and maintain complete C2 capability. The system supports digitized and non-digitized forces in all operational scenarios including large scale mechanized operations, smaller scale special operations and homeland defense applications. A parallel A2C2S effort called Homeland Defense Module links civilian emergency first responders to National Guard and active military forces that are involved in disaster response and homeland security missions.

	L-3 Integrated Systems’ role: We helped to design and install these systems on four prototype and seven low-rate initial production aircraft. Did you know: A2C2S prototypes have supported the Army's 4th Infantry Division (ID) in Iraq for more than a year and the 3rd ID since May 2004. During 17 months of combat duty, the A2C2S flying command posts logged thousands of mission hours to assist warfighters and peacekeepers overseas. Despite operating in the harshest combat environments, the command and control (C2) systems exceeded their performance and reliability requirements.
