Raytheon BBN Technologies reports it has landed $2.9 million from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to develop new methods to defend U.S. Department of Defense networks from hackers.
Under the deal, BBN will work on new ways to protect Department of Defense service-oriented architectures (SOAs). Military IT systems increasingly use SOAs, according to BBN, because they can incorporate previously developed software components in new applications, allowing for faster, cheaper development.
Last month, BBN won an $81 million deal from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory to establish a collaborative alliance and what the company calls “the nation’s largest network science research center.” The company will create the Interdisciplinary Research Center at its headquarters in Cambridge, which will host network research, as well as Department of Defense technology developments.
Raytheon BBN is a Cambridge-based subsidiary of Waltham-based Raytheon Co., which completed its $350 million purchase of BBN in October.
Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) reported a net income of $490 million on revenue of $6.2 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 27.
