<strong>Technology</strong> Day<br />
The First Annual <strong>Raytheon</strong><br />
Building Relationships with the U.S. Air Force<br />
The first annual <strong>Raytheon</strong> <strong>Technology</strong><br />
Day held recently in Dayton, Ohio, at the<br />
Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) on Nov. 12,<br />
2003, provided an open forum for<br />
exchanging ideas and ensuring that our<br />
future initiatives fully support the strategies<br />
of our customers.<br />
More than 250 customers from AFRL and<br />
the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC)<br />
attended the event, among them: Major<br />
General Nielsen (AFRL Commander), all<br />
28<br />
ARFL division chiefs and their technical<br />
advisors, ASC SPO directors and their chief<br />
engineers from many <strong>Raytheon</strong> programs<br />
including F-15, F-16, F-117, J-UCAS, U-2,<br />
EW, Predator and Global Hawk.<br />
Customers were extremely impressed<br />
with the quality of the event. The forum<br />
provided an opportunity for customers<br />
to learn about future applications of<br />
<strong>Raytheon</strong>’s technology to provide solutions<br />
for the Air Force.<br />
“Our first <strong>Technology</strong> Day was<br />
a great event and we look forward<br />
to many more successes,<br />
which will help us build<br />
<strong>Raytheon</strong>’s reputation as a<br />
customer-focused and technology<br />
leader in the industry.<br />
This event has helped build<br />
stronger relationships between<br />
our technology leaders and our<br />
Air Force customers.”<br />
Peter Pao, <strong>Raytheon</strong> corporate<br />
vice president of technology<br />
The agenda included presentations on Intelligence<br />
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Precision<br />
Engagement (PE), RF Systems, Electro-Optics/IR,<br />
Electronic Warfare (EW), Mission Integration and System Enablers. An exhibit room with interactive<br />
demonstrations provided an excellent opportunity for customer interaction and discussion.<br />
