Raytheon Enterprise Management System Reference Architecture

Raytheon Information Systems is actively involved in numerous Network Centric development programs. A common element for these programs is an Enterprise Management System (EMS) responsible for all facets of network operations. The Raytheon EMS Reference Architecture (REMSRA) provides technical descriptions, COTS implementation options, and cost estimation information that can be directly inserted into engineering proposals. REMSRA consolidates EMS knowledge into a single consistent set of documentation artifacts that can be maintained, re-used, and tailored as appropriate. REMSRA describes 16 functional capabilities generally required by customers. From these functions, three architectures were developed addressing basic, intermediate, and advanced system needs. With these architectures, EMS designers have a starting point for engineering their systems based on customer requirements; REMSRA has been applied to commercial and classified customer programs and proposals.
