The U.S. Army Program Management Intelligence and Effects and Raytheon Co. accepted one of five awards given by CrossTalk, the journal of defense software engineering, for developing high-quality government software.

Last year, CrossTalk announced plans to identify the top five software projects within the U.S. government in order to recognize outstanding performance by their software teams and to promote their best practices. CrossTalk received 44 award nominations, deciding after a series of evaluations on 15 programs to be judged by a panel of judges that then selected the winners, including the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System, developed jointly by the Army, Marine Corps and Raytheon.

AFATDS is the Army’s system of record for planning, coordinating and controlling the use of all mortars, close air support, naval gunfire, attack helicopters, offensive electronic warfare, field artillery cannons, rockets and guided missiles.
