Raytheon
The Leader in Radar Systems and Technology

your hands, from fitting into the nose of a missile to matching the size of a ten story building, we are unmatched
in the breadth of our products. This breadth comes from the integration of the former Raytheon, Hughes and
Texas Instruments (TI), each significant in their own right. We have programs that have been in production for
decades and new developments that exploit the latest technologies. We are making technology advances in system
concepts, algorithms, software architectures, hardware devices and in active electronically scanned arrays (AESA),
as well as both electrical and mechanical design.
Yet as we move toward being One Company, we are finding innovative ways to integrate our technologies, to
consolidate our investment strategies, and to formulate integrated systems designs that offer the best technologies
from across Raytheon. An excellent example is the SPY-3 radar (previously Multi-Function Radar (MFR)) a competi-
