Raytheon is a leader in providing Mission Support through affordable, integrated
and responsive solutions spanning the entire mission life cycle around the globe.
We take pride in supplying our customers with systems and solutions to ensure
performance on all seven continents.
This is much more than product support and engineering services. It also includes
mission planning and training capabilities, and in all of these areas, technology is
playing an increasingly more important role.
This Mission Support issue of Technology Today looks at some of the technologies,
capabilities and systems Raytheon brings to this market, from the Warfighter
FOCUS and the Air Traffic Control Optimum Training Solution programs, to
providing satellite coverage to the South Pole and new Smart Display capabilities
to F-16 pilots.
In this issue’s Leaders Corner column, we hear from Rick Yuse about the two
hats he wears as president of Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC and as
Raytheon’s enterprise leader for the Mission Support core market area. He also
discusses the increasing reliance on technology by our Mission Support customers.
In the magazine’s Special Interest section, you will read about Raytheon’s
engineering and technology community. In February, we achieved accreditation
from The Open Group for the Raytheon Certified Architect Program — making us
the first company in our industry to achieve this recognition. In early March, we
presented 94 outstanding Raytheon engineers and technologists with the company’s
highest technical honor, the Excellence in Engineering and Technology Award.
In late March, we hosted the 2009 Raytheon Technology Forum, where more
than 400 Raytheon engineers and customers explored the event’s theme of
“innovating the future” to meet customer needs.
Best regards,
Mark E. Russell

Mission Support
Customers can’t leave home without it.
E
nabling our customers to accomplish
their mission objectives with complete
confidence is what Raytheon is deter-
mined to nurture and grow. As Mission
Support partners, our customers depend
upon us for solutions — whether they are
members of the armed forces, the interna-
tional community or homeland security
industry. We want to be able to accurately
predict our customers’ needs, sense poten-
tial problems and proactively respond with
the right solutions. It is Raytheon’s goal to
deliver a high level of Mission Assurance
through Mission Support.
Simply put, Mission Support is ensuring that
our customers have products, systems and
capabilities whenever and wherever they
need them.
Because budgets will be tightening in
the years ahead, our customers are now
4 2009 ISSUE 2 RAYTHEON TECHNOLOGY TODAY
demanding that the contractor community
perform while balancing capability risk. How
will these new expectations affect Raytheon
and our ability to provide world-class cus-
tomer service? It means that we’re going to
have to adapt. And the way we’ll adapt is
through innovating in technology, manag-
ing people and providing services.
Technology
Over the years, Raytheon has provided an
array of innovative solutions that have led to
greater efficiency and greater savings for
our customers. Culturally, it is rooted in the
way we do business to nurture innovation.
Technological innovations will help sustain
Raytheon in the Mission Support industry
through the next decade for one simple
reason: Technology makes lifecycle support
and logistics more affordable for our cus-
tomers. In turn, our customers won’t have
to make as many difficult tradeoffs between
NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab
readiness and modernization. By applying
first-class technology solutions to the life
cycle of products, we are establishing a new
level of performance for our customers.
Mission Support services are often
considered the low end of the engineering
technology spectrum. It’s really quite the
opposite. If anyone has ever tried to “fix”
someone else’s software code, one can
quickly realize that reverse engineering any
design can be often more difficult than
starting over. As a real-world example,
Raytheon is in the process of dismantling a
number of SS-24/25 missile systems at
Votkinsk, Russia. Most missile weapon
systems aren’t designed to be taken apart
safely. Raytheon had to design and
engineer — using the most cutting-edge
technology — a process to safely dismantle
a missile that was never designed to be
taken apart. Further, the weapon is being
dismantled in an environmentally clean

manner and consuming the least amount
of manpower. Be aware, technology is
often not always obvious when applied
to Mission Support.
People
Raytheon’s Mission Support workforce is a
highly skilled, solution-oriented cadre of
engineers. It has a diverse set of competen-
cies and is tuned in to understand the
customers’ needs. Many of our Mission
Support roles require Raytheon personnel
to work on deployed systems alongside our
warfighting customer. Whenever and
wherever our systems support is needed,
Raytheon field support representatives are
there. Several notable programs such as
Patriot, SMART-T, EPLRS, F-15/18 radar
systems and Bradley TOWs are examples of
our customers’ reliance upon Raytheon’s
global support. In what other field in Raytheon
can you work and live in unique places like
the Ukraine, Egypt, Japan, Afghanistan or the
UAE? When you talk to these professionals,
you quickly realize they never have a dull
day and have a high daily job satisfaction
quotient because they make a difference.
For years, Raytheon has been providing
Mission Support services on every continent
to a wide array of customers — from the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security to
the National Science Foundation to the
Department of Defense. Closer to the
homeland, much of Raytheon Mission
Support is conducted at the original plant
where the product was first engineered or
produced and has been returned for an
upgrade or refurbishment. And, if thinking
about it a bit longer, Mission Support for any
product actually starts at the beginning of
the design process to ensure sustainability.
It is no secret that with our dedicated team
and its breadth of experience we ensure our
systems are always ready.
Services
When it comes to Mission Support, Raytheon
is platform-agnostic because in many situa-
tions we are not the original equipment
manufacturer. Because our expertise is in
designing, developing and integrating sys-
tems, we’re not tied to specific platforms
but can act as an “honest broker” for our
customers when developing solutions to
complex problems. Being the honest broker
is only part of our services offering. We are
also constantly looking at how to improve
processes and add value. Our strong Raytheon
Six Sigma™ and IDEA programs — to name
just a couple — ensure that the status quo,
or “incumbentitis,” doesn’t become part of
our way of doing business, and we con-
stantly seek areas for improvement — inno-
vation, speed, agile execution and growth.
In This Issue
In this issue of Technology Today, we high-
light several products and programs that are
just a few examples of Raytheon’s Mission
Support focus.
Raytheon enables our customers’ mission
success by partnering with them to predict
needs, sense potential problems and proac-
tively respond with integrated solutions.
One application of this approach — cost-
effective target simulation — is outlined in
“Innovative Mission Support Models.”
Under the ATCOTS program, Raytheon
is working with the Federal Aviation
Administration to help ensure that air traffic
control specialists continue to provide
the flying public with a high level of safety
and professionalism.
On the F-16, Raytheon’s Smart Display adds
embedded net-centric processing nodes
that provide the pilot with new capabilities.
These were integrated without changing
platform mechanical or software interfaces.

Raytheon Polar Services is providing Mission
Support to our customer through its work
on building a new South Pole satellite com-

The Raytheon-led Warrior Training Alliance
team is providing Mission Support through
the use of a unique set of information
technology tools created and deployed to
deliver the high level of services and support
the U.S. Army expects for its comprehensive
global training requirements under the
Warfighter FOCUS contract.
Raytheon’s support of facilities and
operations for astronaut training at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center is discussed in
“Neutral Buoyancy Lab’s 46% Oxygen.”
A Broad Range of Mission
Support Solutions
Raytheon has more than 8,000 programs.
This number represents a very diverse
portfolio. As a result, Raytheon delivers a
broad range of Mission Support solutions to
address our customers’ demands for lower
cost, smaller footprint, rapid response and a
greater increase in efficiencies that lead to
better operational readiness. It is worth
restating that the customer doesn’t want to
make hard decisions between investing in
Mission Support or modernization. Military
and homeland civil operations are becoming
increasingly more surgical and precise.
Therefore, Mission Support, whether it
is in the form of simple logistics or high-end
engineering, is following the same path. •

Air Traffic Control Optimum Training Solution (ATCOTS)
U
nder the ATCOTS program, the
Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) and Raytheon are responsible
for ensuring that air traffic control specialists
continue to provide the flying public with
the high level of safety and professionalism
it currently enjoys. A well trained and fully
staffed air traffic control (ATC) workforce
plays an essential role in fulfilling this
responsibility.
The FAA employs more than 15,000 air
traffic controllers. As shown in Figure 1,
they work in various air traffic roles and
facilities of varying sizes, safely guiding
more than 50,000 aircraft through the
National Airspace System (NAS) each day.
These employees provide air navigation
services to aircraft in the U.S. domestic air-
space and in the 24.6 million square miles
of international oceanic airspace delegated
to the United States by the International
Civil Aviation Organization.
During the next several years, 70 percent of
the controller workforce will become eligible
to retire. In order to meet the challenges of
this wave of retirements and the increasing
demand for air travel, the FAA is hiring and

training approximately 17,000 new air
traffic controllers during the next 10 years.
The ATCOTS challenge is to continue to
provide current training services while
implementing improvement initiatives
designed to create a more effective, high-
quality and cost-efficient air traffic controller
training process. Under this program,
Raytheon successfully transitioned two
legacy training support contracts, one at the
FAA Academy in Oklahoma City and the
other across 159 field locations. In that
60-day process, more than 1,700 instructors
and training support personnel were
brought on board, both at Raytheon
Technical Services Company and with
subcontractor partners. By the end of
2009, all 315 FAA operational facilities
will be supported under ATCOTS.
ATC Training: Current State
and Future Needs
There are three phases of qualification train-
ing that a student goes through to reach
Certified Professional Controller status:
academy training, field training, and on-the-
job training (OJT). Raytheon develops and
conducts training for the academy and field
training phases, while the FAA retains full
responsibility for OJT (live traffic). The cur-
rent duration for training averages three
years for an en route and oceanic-services
student and two years for a terminal-
services student.
The FAA has relied heavily on live-traffic
OJT. More recently, it has begun fielding
high-fidelity simulation systems at the
academy as well as certain high-priority
field facilities. The FAA’s increased use of
simulation takes pressure off of OJT while
increasing training cycles for the student.
Through visual representation of the com-
plex ATC environment, these simulation
systems support training of basic to more
advanced ATC competencies and proce-
dures including those focused on weather
and unusual events. As shown in Figure 2,
the current generation of simulators and
embedded simulators provide realistic
displays and full functionality for the
ATC student.
The importance of success on this program
is underscored by the FAA’s efforts to mod-
ernize the NAS to meet future air traffic
demand. These technological enhancements

Neutral Buoyancy Lab’s
46%Oxygen
R
aytheon supports facilities and opera-
tions for astronaut training at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center (JSC) and
Sonny Carter Training Facility in Houston.
Under the JSC contract, Raytheon Technical
Services Company (RTSC) provides subcon-
tractor management and engineering
support for training conducted in NASA’s
Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL).
The NBL is a 202-foot long, 102-foot wide,
40-foot deep pool filled with 6.2 million
gallons of water. Located in Houston, it is
used to train astronauts to perform EVAs
(Extravehicular Activities) — NASA-speak for
spacewalks. The NBL is used to simulate the
zero-gravity conditions experienced by crew
members. Raytheon engineers design the
structural mock-ups used in the training to
simulate actual hardware the astronauts will
work on in space.
During EVA training, the astronauts are
assisted in their activities by support divers
provided under the contract. When training
for an EVA, the crew member will wear an
Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), also
known as a space suit.
Creating Neutral Buoyancy in the Lab
Support divers take the EMU to the bottom
of the pool. Using weights and foam, the
EMU is properly weighted and balanced so
that it and the crew member will float neu-
trally in the water, thus giving the facility its
name, the Neutral Buoyancy Lab. The crew
member will neither float to the surface nor
sink to the bottom. This simulates the
weightlessness experienced in space. Of
course, this is not exactly identical to space
because if the astronaut is in a head-down
position in the NBL, blood will still rush to
the head and make the astronaut very un-
comfortable, which would not happen in
orbit. Also, the water provides drag against
the suit, which slows movement. If the as-
tronaut is kept in an upright position and
moves at a slow pace, he or she remains
very comfortable and can work for long
periods of time under water.
Feature
Astronauts train in the Neutral
Buoyancy Lab underwater environment
to complete construction activities that will be
performed on the International Space Station’s
Truss assembly while in orbit.
Using Nitrox to Ensure Health
and Safety
Crew members may be under water for
more than six hours. Support divers are
limited to three hours of in-water time per
activity, with a 90-minute out-of-water
surface interval. They then can complete
two more hours in the water, for a maxi-
mum of five hours per day.
Being under pressure for long periods of
time can cause certain health risks to divers.
As a reference point, the air at sea level is
21 percent oxygen and 79 percent nitrogen.
The weight of the water causes increased
pressure on the divers’ bodies and forces
nitrogen from the air they breathe into their
tissues and blood. The longer a diver spends
in the water under pressure, the greater the
amount of nitrogen will be stored in the
diver’s body. When the diver returns to the
surface, the extra nitrogen that has built up
in the body wants to form bubbles in the
blood and tissues.

Satellite Coverage
ith just six hours of satellite
W coverage for high-speed data
transmission, researchers at the
South Pole have had a limited window of
opportunity for transmitting their data.
With more advanced technologies comes
a need for increased functionality and
more data capacity. During the past two
years, Raytheon Polar Services and its
partners have been building a new South
Pole satellite communications system to
meet this need.
With the enormous data sets created by
ongoing expansion of the IceCube neutrino
detector and increasing data from the South
Pole Telescope, the current intercontinental
satellite communications pipeline is full. The
new system’s science data link transmission
rate was increased to 150 megabits per
second or about 100 times faster than most
home high-speed Internet connections. The
South Pole also has greater flexibility in
using NASA’s Tracking Data and Relay
Satellite (TDRS) system. The station can now
schedule time on any TDRS satellite simulta-
neously visible at the South Pole and NASA’s
White Sands Complex in New Mexico. The
aggregate daily connect time through all
satellites will vary daily and may be more or
less than the fixed six hours currently pro-
vided by NASA’s TDRS Flight 1 (TDRS F1).
The daily pass schedule depends on many
things, including: queued data volume,
TDRS mission taskings such as the space
shuttle or Hubble Space Telescope, satellite
visibility at the Pole, and equipment status.

The Current State
Most communications satellites are in geo-
synchronous orbits (GEO) parked in a fixed
location over the equator. Their position and
the Earth’s curvature hide them from the
North and South Poles. Low earth orbiting
(LEO) satellites can cover the Poles, but only
for brief periods of time, and they require
more satellites (like the Iridium constellation,
which has 66 satellites). Currently, there is
no LEO satellite constellation with the
bandwidth that the South Pole needs for
off-continent science data transmissions.
In 24 hours, a GEO satellite traverses a
ground trace that looks like a big Figure 8.
When the bottom of the Figure 8 has an
angle greater than 8.5 degrees below the
equatorial plane, the satellite becomes
visible at the South Pole for several hours of
its orbit. This orbital characteristic provides
the station access to communication sys-
tems that support Internet and telephone
service access for the few hours a day that
the satellite can be “seen.”
When satellites get old, they begin to
stray outside of their normal orbit patterns,
moving farther north and south. Since
1999, the South Pole has used NASA’s
TDRS F1, which is now nearing the end of
its life. It could fail tomorrow or last a few
more years; no one knows for sure.
However, everyone seems to agree that
it is operating well beyond its design life.

As director of
Field Operations
and technical di-
rector for RTSC’s
worldwide field
support operators,
Steve Fox is
responsible for leading a qualified work-
force of 1,400 people — certainly no small
task. But if you ask Fox, he feels well
prepared for the job.
Before Raytheon, Fox spent 28 years in
the U.S. Army in a variety of leadership
positions. “I designed and managed
ground- and space-based intelligence and
communications systems,” said Fox, who
holds three master’s degrees in electrical
engineering, national security and strategic
studies. “Years of having to quickly solve
problems — both engineering and
operational — prepared me for finding
solutions to RTSC’s diverse portfolio.”
The Army also honed Fox’s people skills, a
valuable asset for someone who leads as
many engineers as Fox does. “When I
worked in the classified world — as the
project manager of the Tactical
Exploitation of National Capabilities
program office — I learned to gently
lead a disparate group of stakeholders
toward a common goal.”
The engineers and field operators in Fox’s
charge are always on his mind. According
to Fox, one of his biggest challenges is tak-
ing the creative ideas of his people and
quickly applying them to develop solutions
to meet pressing customer needs.

The original South Pole TDRS Relay satellite
ground station (SPTR-1, pronounced
spitter-one) uses TDRS F1, fixed pointing
antennae, and an electronics suite incom-
patible with the rest of NASA’s TDRS satel-
lite constellation and ground station
network. The fixed pointing antennae limit
the number of hours during which data
can be transmitted off station. When TDRS
F1 reaches end-of-service life, SPTR-1 will
become obsolete.
Enter SPTR-2
A team comprising managers, engineers
and technicians from the National Science
Foundation (NSF); Raytheon Polar Services;
Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center
Charleston, S.C.; LJT & Associates; NASA
White Sands, N.M.; Goddard Space Flight
Center, Md.; and L-3 Datron designed,
engineered, installed and now operate a
new South Pole satellite communications
system called South Pole TDRS Relay-2
(SPTR-2). The system encompasses new
electronics at White Sands and the South
Pole as well as a new tracking 4-meter-
diameter antenna that permits expanded
communications over NASA’s Space
Network. The new antenna is currently
being used with SPTR-1 electronics while
TDRS F1 is still operational, providing the
station complete TDRS F1 pass coverage
and the maximum data rate possible.
Operating in this configuration also provides
valuable data and experience that will be
useful when full SPTR-2 operations turn to
using the TDRS F4, F5 and F6 satellites.
SPTR is not just a satellite communications
system. It also incorporates a science data
store-and-forward system; interfaces with
station communications infrastructure for
Internet service, telephone service and
video teleconferencing; and White Sands-
to-Denver network upgrades. Raytheon
Polar Services designed and implemented
these critical data communications and
network components during a SPTR-1 up-
grade at the South Pole, White Sands and
Denver during the last two years. These
subsystems will continue operating in the
SPTR-2 architecture.
Raytheon Polar Services’ role in the SPTR-2
project was full-circle: from planning,

design, management, engineering, pro-
curement and transportation, through ac-
tual construction of the site, antenna
platform, equipment shelter, radome, data
networks and utility tie-ins at the South
Pole. It also played a key role in upgrading
the NSF data network at White Sands to
enhance performance, redundancy and se-
curity. It will continue to provide the glue
to keep the technical and operational as-
pects working together for the unique
Antarctic environment.
While SPTR-2 will give the station access to
more TDRS satellites, its use will be differ-
ent than that of TDRS F1. The South Pole
will not have exclusive access to the satel-
lites when they are above the local hori-
zon. Instead, the South Pole will submit
scheduling requests to NASA every week.
NASA will then assess all requests and
develop a daily contact time schedule for
all users, including the South Pole, based
on system status, operations needs and
mission priorities.
Change comes to all things, including the
South Pole. SPTR-2, like many aspects of
the new station, represents a change for
the South Pole community. However, it will
provide a reliable path for science data and
station communications between the con-
tinent and outside world well into the 21st
century. Also, SPTR-2 has application beyond
South Pole communications. Raytheon is

tions lessons learned in its efforts to field

Supporting
Science at the
Bottom of the World
Contracted to the National Science
Foundation, Raytheon Polar Services
provides operations, construction, main-
tenance and staff to sustain and support
research programs at three year-round
U.S. locations, numerous field camps,
and on two research vessels in the
Antarctic region.
Working in Antarctica — on average the
highest, driest, coldest and emptiest
continent — means dealing with extreme
weather conditions and extremely limited
logistics. Missions require maximizing
limited resupply options, relying on inte-
grated long-term schedules, providing
specialized training, working closely with
the client and other related agencies, and
adapting quickly to changing circumstances.
Polar Services recently finished building a
new elevated research station at the South
Pole, where it tests systems that NASA
may use in missions to the moon and
Mars, collect critical data on climate
change, and built premier telescopes and
the largest-ever neutrino detector. They
must withstand extreme temperatures,
a short operating season, a 10,000-mile
logistics chain, and a six-month day and
night — all while operating one of the
largest and geographically dispersed and
technically complex 24x7 communica-

F-16 Smart Display – Keeping the
Viper Relevant Through 2025
I
t has often been a safe assumption that
an original equipment manufacturer will
provide long-term support for that equip-
ment — but now the game is changing.
One example of this change is Raytheon’s
addition of new avionics to existing older
aircraft, adopting a form-fit replacement
methodology on platforms not originally
built by Raytheon. The art of this technique
is to integrate advanced capabilities without
changing platform mechanical or software
interfaces, which gives Raytheon the com-
petitive edge by eliminating the need for,
and the cost of, extensive operational test-
ing and flight recertification. One real-world
example of this practice is Raytheon’s Smart
Display product line adapted to the F-16
Viper aircraft.
The F-16 Smart Display is a form/fit/function
replacement for analog flight instruments
through a new color LCD. It adds embed-
ded net-centric processing nodes that

as digital moving map, tactical situational
awareness display, data link processing,
Web services and machine-to-machine mes-
saging using XML. It can easily add new
capabilities such as the Raytheon Advanced

Display includes more processing through-
put and digital data storage than many

advancements in commercial-off-the-shelf
(COTS) processors used inside mobile
computing platforms.

Orin, his passion for applying science to
practical ends has stayed with him
throughout his entire 30-year Raytheon
career. “I’ve always enjoyed the hands-on
aspect of engineering since my college days
in engineering labs. Even now, working in
Hardware & Test Engineering allows me to
see a product from design to field delivery.”
In his current role, Orin is responsible for
Hardware & Test engineers in Chula Vista,
El Segundo and Van Nuys, Calif., as well as
engineers in White Sands, N.M. The types
of engineering disciplines needed for each
location differ considerably. “Tailoring our

disciplines and customers is a challenge,”
he said.
Orin first joined Hughes Aircraft Company
in 1978. Only a year later, he pursued and
obtained a master’s degree in business and
management. “This knowledge, on top of
my technical degree, gave me the ability to
advance to positions in Operations, pro-

The favorite part of his job? According to
Orin, that’s a no-brainer: It’s the people
he solves problems with on a daily basis.
“Assembling a team of people from various

with training or training development in
some capacity.
Today, Stroud’s department supports Patriot
New Equipment Training by providing class-

development of embedded training scenarios
for the Patriot Conduct of Fire Trainer. His
department also performs training and IMI
development for programs such as Hawk,
SLAMRAAM, Skyguard and Firefinder.
As department manager, Stroud’s greatest
challenge is continually providing the 90
employees under his charge with meaningful
opportunities. “We have an extremely talented
cadre of trainers and training developers,” he
said. “So we’re always looking for new pro-

and more cost-effective development. This
software architecture also permits COTS
processor upgrading without affecting the
Mission Support software.
The F-16 Smart Display uses Raytheon’s
Information Layer architecture to layer
asynchronous net-centric battlefield data
processing on top of the deterministic com-
mand-response processing found in the
existing modular mission computer (MMC).
Net-centric operations are asynchronous in
nature and involve helping the pilot visualize
the battlefield and provide data exchange
with other battlefield elements.
The F-16 Smart Display provides the pilot
with the following capabilities:
• Digital primary flight reference display
• FalconView™ digital moving map
• Tactical situational awareness using data
link overlays
• Data link processing
• Sensor control and sensor points-of-
interest data sharing
• Digital image capture and XML image
transfer to other systems using cursor on
target messaging
• Embedded processing for growth fea-
tures (Tactical geo-registration, AT3 pro-
cessing, Web services)
F-16 Smart Display
Two constraints drove the physical packag-
ing solution. First, an affordable, upgradable
solution was required. A COTS solution for
the processors, 3-D graphics engines,
Ethernet LAN components and 1553 data
bus interface cards was chosen. The second
constraint was to avoid cutting the aircraft,
which would require flight recertification.
Consequently, the solution was designed
from the front, fitting into the space of a
3-inch analog flight instrument, while still
providing the requisite capabilities and pro-
cessing (Figure 2). These limitations required
multiple small physical enclosures to ex-
change data to provide video to the LCD
glass panel. Components were installed into
the existing opening of the instrument
panel and then properly aligned using high-
density electrical connectors. Cable har-
nesses were eliminated by stacking custom
circuit card assemblies and building a new
interface card.
Integrating New Capabilities
Smart Display supports advanced sensor
and net-centric radio integration into the
F-16. By leveraging the embedded
net-centric processing nodes contained
within the Smart Display, new capabilities
are integrated without changing the
operational flight program (OFP) software
in the current MMC. These capabilities
can be Raytheon- or externally-developed
capabilities.

Stroud’s first Raytheon training assignment

was in 1981, when he served as producer of
video-based training programs for the Kuwait
Hawk program. He then moved into com-
puter-based training development for various
programs.

Looking back, Stroud credits his various

The Technology Drivers
O
ne of the most important missions
of the U.S. Army is maintaining
readiness for war. This can only
be achieved by providing warfighters with
the most thorough and realistic training
possible. Raytheon is supporting this mission
through the Warfighter Field Operations
Customer Support (FOCUS) program,
providing the training support needed for
mission effectiveness.
The Raytheon-led Warrior Training Alliance
(WTA) team is supporting the Army through
the use of a unique set of information tech-
nology tools created and deployed to deliver
the high level of responsive, efficient, flexi-
ble and cost-effective services and support
the Army expects for its comprehensive
global training requirements under the
Warfighter FOCUS contract.
The landmark program is integrating three
previously separate training domains — live,
virtual and constructive — under one struc-
ture. In May 2008, the team began deliver-
ing integrated, turnkey, lifecycle training
services and support to warfighters at 500
U.S. Army locations worldwide. Major
teammates include Computer Sciences
Corporation, General Dynamics Information
Technology and MPRI. Raytheon manages
more than 100 teammates on the program.
ATLAS MIS
The core technology tool is the Automated
Toolset for Lifecycle Activities and Services
Management Information System (ATLAS
MIS). The enterprisewide, integrated ATLAS
MIS is an information, technology and
analysis toolkit that integrates program sup-
port elements to predict customer needs,
sense potential problems and respond with
support and services that optimize opera-
tional availability, response time, logistics
footprints and total ownership costs.
“ATLAS MIS is at the center of everything,”
said Mike Edwards, Raytheon Technical
Services Company LLC vice president and
16 2009 ISSUE 2 RAYTHEON TECHNOLOGY TODAY
program manager for Warfighter FOCUS.
“It automates most of the key functions
and provides the Army customer with a
one-stop shopping tool, as well as a single,
easy-to-use portal to track all task orders
from initiation to completion.”
ATLAS provides a commercially accepted,
open format, real-time, Web-based MIS
to collect, store and manage operations,
maintenance, financial, supply and
inventory data.
This information is necessary to enable the
WTA to meet every customer need for ac-
cess, analysis and review of data and reports
— any time, any place, worldwide. The
WTA has integrated solutions to match the
broad scope of Warfighter FOCUS needs,
from requirements management, enterprise
scheduling and resource management to
enterprise portfolio project management,
program planning and control, collabora-
tion, risk management, configuration
management and customer support.
Technology Power Advances in Training
Innovative applications of technology tools
and processes are being used by the WTA in
support of the Warfighter FOCUS mission in
all the following areas:
Humvees “lay down smoke” to simulate battlefield conditions during a live training exercise at
the National Training Center. This is part of the battlefield realism the Warfighter FOCUS
program creates to enable the most realistic training possible for soldiers before they deploy.
Cross-Training
MIS tools that facilitate the allocation of
cross-trained personnel in the correct labor
categories and skill mixes create a truly inte-
grated approach to training support for in-
tegrated live, virtual and constructive
training. For example, WTA can draw from
its cross-trained pool of electronic techni-
cians and training analysts at Fort Hood,
Texas, to support both the Close Combat
Tactical Trainer and the Digital Multipurpose
Range Complex. Using cross-training to
expand the capabilities of the total resource
pool for training support at a given installa-
tion enables cross-utilization and more
resource-leveled and cost-effective
integrated training support.
Integrated Training Support
Transforming from a domain-oriented to an
integrated training environment demands a
focused and proactive approach from the
service provider. Raytheon refined its
“Predict, Plan, Perform” methodology to
specifically address this compelling need.
The result is a unique Integrated Training
Support Tool (ITST) that complements the
information resident in the system to por-
tray when and where the forces will train,
and when the end user will require specific
training support systems. ITST gives the

of Warfighter FOCUS
Program Executive Office Simulation,
Training and Instrumentation customer real-
time information on training resources
matched to actual requirements, while
offering an integrated live-virtual-construc-
tive training solution.
Cross-Domain Training
The integration of the three traditional
training domains in Warfighter FOCUS,
along with the MIS tools that facilitate and
control the integration, permit cross-domain
training in ways that have never before
been practicable.
Larry Retta, WTA deputy program manager
and vice president, Simulation & Training,
for teammate General Dynamics
Information Technology, described one
example of how this replaces previously
“stovepiped” activities with closely coordi-
nated and integrated training exercises that
save the government time and money, while
producing highly synchronized results.
“At the Fort Irwin’s National Training Center,
we can now run constructive training simu-
lations simultaneously with live exercises of
the same type of engagement being con-
ducted,” Retta said. “It’s all tied together.
We even train the observers and controllers
for the range exercises.”
A soldier on patrol during a recent live training exercise at one of the National Training Center’s
MOUT villages is wearing Multiple Integrated Laser Equipment (MILES) gear. MILES allows
instantaneous information from the field to be sent back to the operations group. Sensors in the
system keep track of where soldiers and equipment are at all times, whether soldiers have been
hypothetically injured or killed, and whether the equipment has been damaged or destroyed.
Mike Parmelee, WTA deputy program man-
ager and vice president of Federal Training
for CSC’s Defense Division, emphasized the
flexibility of cross-domain training.
“We can just as easily revert to force-on-
force training or go forward to GWOT
(global war on terror). The WTA team has
the legacy experience to move smoothly
back and forth from traditional training to
cutting edge,” Parmelee said.
Standardized Reporting
The Standardized Reporting Tool (STANREP),
a Web-based application, provides a consis-
tent means of capturing and reviewing
significant events in a training activity. Data
collected by STANREP can be used in after-
action reviews by training participants and
trainers to make improvements and benefit
from lessons learned. This reporting tool has
been customized to be used only by the
Warfighter FOCUS customer, and it is just
one of a host of WTA tools the Army can
access for situational awareness and
recording of major training events for
post-event review.
Gaming Technologies
WTA team members leverage the latest
technological advances being developed by
the commercial computer gaming industry.
Feature
A WTA employee watches the surveillance
system at one of the National Training
Center’s MOUT villages. The team is
responsible for equipping all of the MOUT
buildings, as well as providing the Multiple
Integrated Laser Equipment System to
soldiers for after-action reviews during the
live training exercises.
“We examine every emerging game-related
technology,” Retta said. “Even though we
are service providers, WTA has to be aware
of fresh technologies and best commercial
business practices that can be put to work
for the customer.”
Retta cited as examples a recently
developed Vehicle Convoy Combat
Transportation gaming simulation and the
Distributed Battle Simulation Program, a
structured program that incorporates
training aids, devices, simulations and
simulators into unique live, virtual and
constructive training environments. Another
example Retta emphasizes is Military
Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT).
“MOUT facilities,” he explained, “are fully
instrumented physical structures that closely
replicate the urban battlefield, providing
soldiers with realistic training practice prior
to combat, and improving their safety and
mission success.” •

Raytheon has many successful programs
that provide traditional Mission Support,
and the company is now looking beyond
what is required and coming up with inno-
vative ways to fulfill our customers’ Mission
Support needs.
Cost-Effective Target Simulation
Implementing the armed services’ require-
ments for “live” firing of missiles for test
and training purposes can be difficult and
expensive. Traditionally, these firings in-
volved static targets of the old Soviet Bloc
nature, such as the T-72 tank or SA-6
Gainful. These are real targets, and in some
cases are very expensive to acquire and
maintain. Acquiring a Russian tank could
cost more than $3 million; destroying one of
these is cost-prohibitive.
On today’s battlefield, U.S. and coalition
warfighters are engaging an asymmetric
enemy with traditional military vehicles re-
placed by common commercial trucks and
sport utility vehicles. These vehicles travel at
speeds greater than 70 miles per hour, are
highly maneuverable, and can easily assimi-
late with other local traffic. This makes ac-
quiring, tracking, engaging and destroying
these enemy targets highly difficult.
Raytheon developed an innovative means
of providing a cost-effective, remotely
controlled vehicle that can be configured to
represent various traditional military targets
or to represent the non-traditional types
seen on today’s battlefield (see figure
above). The result: a remote-controlled
vehicle configured as an enemy tank costing
approximately $35,000, versus millions for
an actual tank.
Another of Raytheon’s approaches to
Mission Support is how it packages Mission
Support services for its customers. In the

traditional approach, Mission Support ef-
forts are conducted by a single program
within a product line. Instead, Raytheon
takes advantage of the knowledge and ex-
perience found in programs and product
lines throughout the company, maximizing
Mission Support while lowering overall cost.
A Family of Products and Systems
The Raytheon Partnering in Defense (RaPID)
program is one example where the individ-
ual support efforts of a family of systems
(AMRAAM, Maverick, and Paveway™) are
combined into a single support contract. By
eliminating duplicate tasks in the independ-
ent program efforts, an initial cost reduction
of more than 13 percent was achieved.
The customer’s future cost objective is for a
30 percent cost reduction; discussions are
now underway to provide a consolidated
maintenance facility for a family of Raytheon
products used by this international customer.
A Family of Customers
On Standard Missile-1, the approach of
combining a family of international cus-
tomers of a single Raytheon product was
used. Full-service support of the products in
10 countries were integrated into a single
contract. This resulted in significant cost
savings for the U.S. government as well as
for the individual countries.
These initial efforts in providing innovative
Mission Support solutions have been well
received by customers, and Raytheon is
actively seeking other ways to apply
these approaches. •

RAPIDS Prototyping Services/Process
In order to meet stringent schedule de-
mands of customers, CEDS has developed
RAPIDS, which follows a standardized,
tailored Capability Maturity Model®
Integration process. RAPIDS provides the
ability to build prototype units for visualiza-
tion and fit-checks in 24 hours. These quick
prototypes are critical to reducing costs
and detecting manufacturing issues before
producing expensive tooling for advanced
prototypes. This process also increases
customer confidence in proposed
Raytheon solutions.
One successful implementation of RAPIDS
is the spiral development approach for the
EDM. EDM Spiral I went from contract award
to field installation in theater in only six
months. Success of this Spiral I effort led to
development and manufacture of more
than 3,000 advanced Spiral EDMs. Future
Smart Display systems will utilize the PLA and
RAPIDS to enhance winning solutions.
Summary
Raytheon’s combination of services, engi-
neering, products and manufacturing is
positioning the company for greater growth
in the Mission Support arena. As can be
seen by the CEDS example, Raytheon is
structured and well positioned to meet
warfighter needs through rapid, innovative
techniques. Combined with its longstanding
Mission Support capabilities, it is a one-stop
shop for customers seeking to maintain
their combat edge with equipment they
bring to the fight. The examples provided
are a small representation of how Raytheon
will continue to excel in this strategic
business area. •

LEADERS CORNER
R
ick Yuse wears two hats at Raytheon.
He is president of Raytheon Technical
Services Company (RTSC) LLC, and
he is Raytheon Chairman and CEO Bill
Swanson’s appointed enterprise leader for
Mission Support, one of Raytheon’s four
core markets. Technology Today recently
spoke with Yuse about both of these chal-
lenging roles and the increasing reliance on
technology by our Mission Support and
technology customers. Yuse brings with him
a unique perspective, as he was an internal
customer for RTSC’s Mission Support serv-
ices when he was a program manager at
Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS).
Yuse joined Raytheon in 1976 and has held
positions ranging from systems architecture
and design to flight test director and pro-
gram manager. Before being appointed
RTSC president, Yuse was vice president
of Integrated Air Defense for Raytheon at
IDS, where he was responsible for air
defense programs.
TT: Raytheon has adopted Mission Support
as one of its core growth markets. For a
company that is largely identified as an
engineering and technology company,
why is Mission Support so important?
RY: One key element of Mission Support is
the lifecycle support of fielded Raytheon
systems. Mission Support is about maintain-

ing equipment with the Raytheon name on
it — keeping it operational and ready for
the warfighter. We provide Mission Support
solutions for deployed systems, but Mission
Support starts as an integral part of the de-
sign phase. To the extent that our engineers
provide for logistics support and mainte-
nance and usage requirements, the more ef-
ficient our systems will be to maintain in the
field, which ultimately will enhance their
performance and reputation and maintain
the ‘no doubt’ customer trust that we’re all
so proud of. And with leaner budgetary
days ahead, every dollar that our customers
don’t have to earmark for support of exist-
ing systems frees up funding for upgrades
and new technology.
TT: How does Mission Support differ from
Mission Assurance?
RY: Mission Assurance is the personal and
collective commitment of Raytheon and our
employees to ensure that our customers
have no doubt about our products and serv-
ices. Our solutions must work for the cus-
tomer, the first time and every time. Mission
Assurance permeates the entire life cycle of
our deliverables. The goals of Mission Support
are ensuring that systems in the field oper-
ate failure-free; that if a failure occurs, it’s
detected as quickly as possible; and that the
repair can be made promptly, all while mini-
mizing the personnel, assets and supplies
that must be dedicated to these tasks.
These goals are tightly aligned with
achieving ‘no doubt’ Mission Assurance.
TT: Mission Support across Raytheon and
RTSC as a business has demonstrated strong
growth recently. How do you see the
Obama administration’s priorities, and the
general economic condition, impacting that
growth going forward?
RY: We see Mission Support services as a
potential hedge against the impact of possi-
ble declines in the research and develop-
ment (R&D) and procurement budgets. The
administration has indicated that it will be
looking closely at large weapons develop-
ment programs, particularly those that are
not performing to cost and schedule param-
eters. This means that legacy systems will be
fielded for longer periods. That’s an oppor-
tunity for Mission Support in terms of
sustainment and an opportunity to perhaps
upgrade some of these systems with
reliability or capability enhancements.
TT: But Mission Support is more than
product support. It includes other support
items such as training and professional and
technical services. What is the outlook for
these kinds of services?
RY: Yes, Mission Support is a very broad
market space encompassing product sup-
port as well as a variety of outsourced serv-
ices. Training, for instance, has been an area
of strategic focus and growth in Raytheon,
led by RTSC. In the past couple of years, we
have grown to become one of the largest
providers of outsourced training in the
world, with significant program wins such as
the U.S. Army Warfighter FOCUS contract,
and the FAA’s Air Traffic Control Optimum
Training Solution (ATCOTS) program.
ATCOTS delivers training to the FAA’s air
traffic controllers, and Warfighter FOCUS
integrates three previously separate training
domains — live, virtual and constructive.
RTSC and its team of subcontractors deliver
integrated, turnkey, lifecycle training serv-
ices and support to warfighters at 500 U.S.
Army locations worldwide. Training is an
area of the military budget we see as
holding up well. Training is an underlying
element of readiness, whether we are
talking about soldiers, air traffic controllers,
or employees at commercial companies.
TT: Do you see technology playing a larger
role in Mission Support?
RY: Since 9/11, the United States has been
in a period of military readiness at virtually
any cost. But now, almost eight years later,
two major factors have altered this environ-
ment: the priorities of the new administra-
tion and the economic crisis in America.
Our customers are signaling that we are en-
tering a new era characterized as the right
readiness at the right cost. So because
budgets will be tightening in the years
ahead, our customers are demanding inno-
vative, lower-cost solutions requiring us to
put the “tech” back in technical services.
TT: Can you provide an example?
RY: Anyone associated with supporting our
systems knows that it’s not your father’s lo-
gistics any more. Today, customers don’t just
want to be assured that a particular system
will work when needed. They also want to
be able to predict when it will fail, be able
to track the parts needed across an inte-
grated global supply chain, and understand
this across all equipment in the battlespace.
This is what we call precision logistics. This
takes logistics and maintenance planning
past a purely statistical approach and into
the realm of real-time understanding of
each unit in a fielded population.
Precision logistics begins with embedded
sensors and built-in tests that provide timely
and specific information about the state of a
unit. To carry this concept to the next level,
we can put these sensors on the network
and gather real-time information about the
state of the fleet. For example, take some-
thing as simple as the Humvee. It has about
40 embedded sensors, and there are
125,000 fielded Humvees. We can generate
quite a bit of information on the state of the
fleet from that. Not only do we have the
state of each unit, but also the necessary
information for identifying failure trends,
subcomponent life cycles and other critical
operational health parameters.
TT: How can Raytheon apply innovation to
Mission Support?
RY: It’s important to remember that innova-
tion comes in many forms. In Mission
Support, we can innovate with technologies
to deliver more efficient training, smoother
and more affordable logistics, and more reli-
able products. But we also can be innovative
in how we deliver services to our customers.
And that’s something that we are working
on as a company right now.
We have a cross-company team that has
been looking at alternate business models
for lifecycle support, including next-genera-
tion performance-based logistics, and how
we might make better use of public–private
partnerships. The group will deliver recom-
mendations, perhaps as a part of the
Mission Support strategy, this summer.
TT: How do you see technology playing a
factor in the growth of RTSC?
RY: We strive to provide innovative solu-
tions for our customers. We do not of
course invest as much in R&D as other
Raytheon businesses, but we do reach back
to the rest of Raytheon to both leverage
technology and access domain expertise.
Our engineers are adept at applying existing
technology to problems, and they do so in
an innovative and cost-effective manner.
Applying the right technology combined
with ready access to domain expertise
makes us more attractive to our
customer base.
TT: Raytheon is looking at growing its
international business. How do you see
international Mission Support growing?
RY: The international market for Mission
Support is estimated at about $30 billion a
year and is forecast to continue to grow at a
modest rate, perhaps equal to or slightly
faster than the U.S. market. As a company,
we are pursuing several interesting interna-
tional Mission Support opportunities.
Raytheon Australia has two significant out-
sourced training opportunities in its five-year
plan; Raytheon Systems Limited in the
United Kingdom has significant logistics and
training opportunities in its plan. RTSC is
pursuing training opportunities in Middle
East, and of course opportunities with the
other Raytheon businesses supporting their
fielded systems. With the right focus and
investment, we can significantly grow our
international Mission Support business.
TT: Given your success rising through the
engineering ranks to a business leadership
role, what advice would you give new engi-
neers just starting their careers at Raytheon?
RY: I’ve always enjoyed architecting, design-
ing and fielding large complex systems
ranging from Cobra Dane to the Aegis and
THAAD weapons systems to the U.S. missile
defense system. As such I’ve been intimately
involved with both the design and fielding
of many of the systems Raytheon has pro-
duced. One effect of this is that I’ve had the
opportunity to work and live in some of the
world’s, let’s say, more out of the way loca-
tions. But more importantly, I have had the
opportunity to be involved in all aspects of
these programs. I have been involved from
the proposal and concept definition phases;
to detailed design, manufacturing, unit-level
and system-level testing; and finally fielding
and system sell-off. I have also had the op-
portunity to work with some of the best and
brightest folks in our industry. I believe that
exposure to all phases of a program pro-
vides you with valuable knowledge and
insight from an engineering, business and
customer relations viewpoint. That’s other-
wise difficult to acquire.
So my advice? Enjoy what you do. Don’t be
afraid to take the hard assignments and
take every opportunity to learn as much
from the program you’re supporting, and
the people who are leading it, as you can.
You’ll find that here at Raytheon, we’re very
fortunate to have, no matter the discipline
— from engineering to program manage-
ment and business leadership — some of
the best people our industry has to offer. •

Principal Systems Engineer Michael
Townsend is chief technologist supporting the
Customized Engineering and Depot Support

business area. A 24-year Raytheon veteran,
Townsend is responsible for supporting a
number of different WWC programs, and his primary focus is help-
ing to grow the business, assisting Business Development and the
Program Office with new pursuits. Townsend works closely with the
other CEDS chief technologists, keeping abreast of key capabilities
throughout Raytheon to support our customers.
Early in his career, Townsend had the opportunity work side by side
with end users, an experience he credits with helping him build a
foundation for his entire career. One of his first assignments was to
complete the design for one subsystem of an airborne electronic
warfare system, taking the system through test, pilot production,
initial deployment, and completion of the production run. During
that time, he worked with operators and maintainers, seeing first-
hand how they used the system, what they liked and disliked, what
worked, and what didn’t. “Their opinions about system quality and
capability were formed based on real-world performance,” he said.
“I have always tried to understand that user and maintainer
perspective, and solicit their input whenever possible to improve
the systems I’m involved with.”
That experience also formed the core of his Mission Support philos-
ophy. “If possible, you need to talk to the system users — operators,
maintainers, everyone you can.” According to Townsend, each of
these users has different needs, and understanding those needs will
help develop a better understanding of how architecture and design
trade-offs will affect long-term system performance. “That long-
term performance, including reliability and maintainability, will
continue future perceptions of Raytheon products, and Raytheon as
a company.”
With customers continuing to look for ways to do the same, or even
more, with less, Townsend believes that those providers who
demonstrate the ability to design for the total system life cycle will
have an advantage. “Raytheon’s ability to effectively provide not just
systems, but life-cycle solutions, is critical to our corporate strategy
and competitive advantage,” he said. “The more effectively we
consider the entire life cycle, the better we will perform in our
role as a Mission Systems Integrator.” •
The Raytheon Certified Architect Program (RCAP) is the culmination of Raytheon’s systems architecting learning

Doug Dusseau is a chief technologist at
Raytheon Technical Services Company,
responsible for developing multiple
product-line architectures. He is chief
architect for the Mission Support
Reference Architecture, as well as an
instructor in the Raytheon Systems
Engineering Technical Development
Program in which he teaches a module on Mission Support.
Throughout his 25 years at Raytheon, Dusseau has played a signifi-
cant role in the design and architecting of products and systems.
Through the Raytheon Certified Architect Program, he has been
able to further refine his skills and apply them to the development
of large-scale enterprise architectures focused on various Mission
Support domains.
The architectures he supports help define the tasks, operational
activities, information exchanges, and systems necessary for our
customers to accomplish their missions, Dusseau said. “Utilizing
the Raytheon Mission Support Reference Architecture as a
common framework reduces time, cost and risk when developing
mission support solutions,” Duaaeau noted.
Dusseau enjoys the variety in his work, becoming involved in many
projects and supporting multiple domains. “I really have my dream
job, since I get to be involved with a lot of different things. Each
day, I have to be able to quickly switch gears and perform tasks
associated with the many challenges of Mission Support. There’s
never a dull moment.”
According to Dusseau, Mission Support means providing products,
systems and capabilities to the customer where and when needed.
“Knowing the sacrifices that our end users typically make daily to
accomplish their missions make me want to ensure that every
product I support will be operationally available when it’s needed
and that it will perform as designed,” he said.
Dusseau believes that Raytheon’s Mission Support goals are
critically important to the future of the company. “There has al-
ready been a decided shift by our Department of Defense customer
to transition from the procurement of new systems to funding the
enhancement and sustainment of existing systems,” he explained.
“This has created numerous opportunities for us to prolong the
fielded systems life of our products through the successful
implementation of Mission Support principles.” •

Expanded ATNAVICS Role Inspires
New Mission Assurance Solutions
T
he Air Traffic Navigation,
Integration and Coordination
System (ATNAVICS) real-world
mission expanded far beyond its origi-
nal requirements. How can Raytheon
ensure continued mission success?
Raytheon Network Centric Systems’
Specialty Systems Engineering faced this
challenge when ATNAVICS was deployed in
the Middle East.
The System
ATNAVICS (AN/TPN-31) provides air traffic
management at temporary airfields in
remote locations. This three-surveillance-
sensor ground control approach system
includes a sensor vehicle (containing pri-
mary, secondary and precision approach
radars, and associated electronics) and an
operations vehicle (containing two con-
troller workstations and radar data process-
ing, communications and situation displays).
The vehicles can be stationed up to one
kilometer apart. For the Middle East mis-
sion, ATNAVICS uses the AN/FPN-67 Fixed-
Base Precision Approach Radar (FBPAR).
The prime customer is the U.S. Army
Product Management Air Traffic Control
Systems, Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Ala.,
and the sustainment customer is the U.S.
Army Communications and Electronics
Command (CECOM) in Fort Monmouth, N.J.
Mission Support
Under the ATNAVICS/FBPAR National
Maintenance Contract, Raytheon provides
intermediate and depot-level support to
keep operational 46 fielded ATNAVICS
systems deployed worldwide at U.S.
Army installations.
Raytheon provides 24/7 technical reach-
back support, primarily by phone. If the
initial phone call does not resolve the issue,
26 2009 ISSUE 2 RAYTHEON TECHNOLOGY TODAY
a field service representative (FSR) travels to
the site to perform further troubleshooting
and repair.
All of Raytheon’s engineering resources are
used to resolve ATNAVICS systems issues.
For example, senior engineers have been
deployed to sites for firsthand data collec-
tion and problem solving, and engineering
fellows have analyzed performance issues,
provided feedback and furnished a road
map for system enhancements. The experi-
ence that design engineers obtain by deal-
ing with real-world issues also helps them
perform upgrades and new systems design.
The Expanded Mission
ATNAVICS was designed to provide 30-day
deployments at various locations. When
post-deployment refurbishment time is
factored in, an ATNAVICS system can be
used for about three deployments annually.
The real-world application, however,
requires 24/7 performance at the same
location for several years. The system must
also function in an environment quite differ-
ent from that for which it was designed.
In late 2005, during the Kuwait deploy-
ment, ATNAVICS units required support that
was inconsistent with the maintenance
schedule. The first question was, “Why is
this happening?” Then, when it became
ATNAVICS operations vehicle
clear that ATNAVICS was being used far
differently than its design requirements
had specified, the question became, “How
can Raytheon ensure this expanded
mission’s success?”
Responding to the Challenge
Raytheon, with its CECOM customer,
researched these issues and instituted
proactive processes to harden ATNAVICS to
endure the increased duty cycle and harsh
operating environment.
• To quickly discover and solve problems,
Raytheon partnered with the government
to find more ways — such as site visits
and e-mail — to gather field data and
support ATNAVICS.
• To reduce downtime, Raytheon, with
CECOM, developed several engineering
and sustainment scenarios that enabled
the team to support the changing mis-
sion. For these scenarios, Raytheon
determined the spares needed for the
expanded mission and then worked with
the customer to find sources for these
components and forward-deploy them.
• To ensure that mission-specific issues
were addressed, Raytheon performed
preventive maintenance more often and
revised, supplemented or replaced main-
tenance procedures. Raytheon also
worked with the customer to eliminate or
reduce environmental wear on the system.

• To leverage existing solutions, the team
sought and applied lessons learned
from Raytheon teams supporting other
products — such as Patriot — that are
used in similar environments.
The Human Factor
To retain the confidence of the diverse
ATNAVICS user community, it is important to
diagnose and fix problems quickly and com-
pletely. The team therefore sought internal
criteria that would help meet or exceed cus-
tomer expectations. It found that the major
contributor to a successful customer relation-
ship is a high-quality FSR. Analysis showed
that stringent candidate screening profiles
revealed the best candidates, so it uses these
profiles, tailoring them for contract-unique
needs. Candidates hired via this process are
significantly more effective as FSRs right
away, and they perform exceptionally well —
both technically and interpersonally.
Bringing a Raytheon face to end users shows
that the team cares about its products and,
more importantly, about the people who rely
on its products. The team also works with
customers to develop and forward-deploy
spares stores, most notably to support
Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). These assets
have helped reduce system downtime by
providing needed spares in days rather
than weeks.
Outlook
In this, the fifth year of active operations in
this region, the team has achieved excep-
tional operational availability. This success,
however, motivates it to seek even more
ways to better support the warfighter. For
example, the most recent tour of OIF systems
provided invaluable firsthand information
from warfighters and Supply Chain person-
nel that will help the team provide better
real-time support.
ATNAVICS Program Manager Jim Bessette
reported, “Our hands-on approach and cus-
tomer partnering have resulted in marked
improvements to system availability and
improved customer satisfaction.” The
ongoing government–Raytheon partnering
will ensure that the ATNAVICS mission will
continue to be accomplished in a timely,
cost-effective manner. •

Raytheon’s Certified Architect
Program Achieves Accreditation
From The Open Group
R
aytheon achieved accreditation
from The Open Group in February
for its Raytheon Certified Architect
Program (RCAP), an enterprisewide
initiative designed to foster specialized
expertise required to support customer
mission success.
Raytheon is the fourth company in the
world and first in its industry to receive
this recognition from The Open Group, a
vendor- and technology-neutral consor-
tium focused on open standards and
global interoperability within and
between enterprises.
The Open Group’s IT Architect
Certification (ITAC) accreditation program
assesses third-party IT and enterprise ar-
chitect practices. It benchmarks internal
processes, procedures, training, and certi-
fication criteria against rigorous industry
standards, further validating the qualities
and skills of the architecture professionals
in that organization.
RCAP — and now The Open Group
accreditation — further positions
Raytheon’s commitment to Mission
Systems Integration. It formally recognizes
the program and its ability to develop ar-
chitects who can design, integrate and
evolve the architectures of highly complex
systems, systems of systems, and enter-
prises to achieve customers’ mission and
operational objectives through deploy-
ment of Raytheon’s standards-based archi-
tecture process. The Raytheon Enterprise
Architecture Process has also been ac-
knowledged by The Open Group as a
“Recognized Method” by meeting or ex-
ceeding all of its documented criteria for a
comprehensive architecture methodology.
Special Interest
“Creating integrated systems that can
share data seamlessly and quickly is a
linchpin for government, military and
commercial customers around the world,”
said William H. Swanson, Raytheon’s
Chairman and CEO. “Raytheon’s business
strategy requires this capability, and
RCAP’s accreditation shows the company’s
commitment to be a leader in providing
this capability to our customers.”
RCAP was launched in 2004 and includes
requirements for architecture standards-
based training, external architect certifica-
tions, leadership and communication
skills, architecture practitioner experience,
system lifecycle experience, mentoring,
and contributions to the architecture
discipline. In December 2008, Raytheon
reached a milestone by surpassing its
goal of 100 certified architects across
the company.
With industry demand for qualified
enterprise architects, there is a growing
need to identify and develop experienced
and qualified individuals to meet the
baseline skills and experience that The
Open Group has identified in its
accreditation process.
“The Open Group congratulates
Raytheon on this significant achieve-
ment,” said Allen Brown, The Open
Group’s president and CEO. “By
standardizing on The Open Group’s
globally recognized process for
assuring the skills and experience of
its enterprise architects, Raytheon is
demonstrating commitment to its
customers’ success.” •

T
he 2008 Raytheon Excellence in Engineering and Technology
(EiET) Awards were held March 11, 2009, at the Smithsonian’s
National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The
awards, Raytheon’s highest technical honor, recognize individuals
and teams whose innovations, processes or products have a
substantial impact on the company’s success, and the success
of its customers.
Ninety-four people were honored during the dinner and awards
ceremony in the museum’s Milestones of Flight Gallery. The award
recipients comprised 18 team and four individual examples of
excellence, hailing from every Raytheon business — including two
One Company awards and an Information Technology award.
In his opening remarks, Mark E. Russell, Raytheon vice president of
corporate Engineering, Technology and Mission Assurance, spoke
about innovation and how it is more than coming up with a new
idea. It is making an idea a reality that makes the difference for our
28 2009 ISSUE 2 RAYTHEON TECHNOLOGY TODAY
customers. He recognized the evening’s award recipients as
“94 people who have made a difference,” and noted they “have
provided examples of excellence we can all be proud of.”
After dinner, the awards program resumed with Raytheon Chairman
and CEO William H. Swanson delivering the evening’s keynote
remarks. He observed how fast the world is changing and how
proud he was of the evening’s honorees for helping our customers
to succeed in such a world. “The discoveries of the Raytheon
engineers and scientists in this room — you — will protect our
men and women in uniform, and allow our customers to
succeed — in the ‘brave new world’ of tomorrow,” he said.
Swanson was then joined on stage by Russell and business
leadership, as master of ceremonies Mike Doble, Raytheon director
of Strategic Communications, read citations about the achievements
and called each honoree up to be personally congratulated.

Highlighting Three 2008 Excellence in Engineering and Technology Award Teams
one company award
stem education modeling tool team
Dana Larson (NCS), Alex Sanchez (IDS), Joanne Attridge
(IDS), Brian Wells (Corp.), George Blaha (IDS)
For combining educational research methods with systems
engineering and modeling techniques to develop the first-of-its-
kind behavior model to analyze the science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM) educational system.

Combining educational research methods with techniques usually

associated with industry created a synergy that has never existed in
the past. While the modeling methods applied are well known, the
application of these techniques to this challenging problem is new. During the two years of model development, the typical reaction
from the experts was that it could not be done. However, once the approach and the results were presented, the experts changed their
opinions and recognized the value in the approach.

raytheon technical services company

f-16 center pedestal display (cpd) team
Jayson Bopp, Brian Bultemeier, Robert Leffel, Charles
Rogers, Anthony Vicich
For developing an improved F-16 center display unit (CDU)
featuring an increased display area with higher resolution along
with Blue Force tracking, cursor-on-target image transfer,
and moving maps.

The F-16 CPD team developed an innovative design and packaging

solution for embedded processing canisters that allowed it to deliver a
smart display. It incorporates an open architecture solution based on
advanced digital processing and video processing elements such as a drop-in replacement for the legacy analog F-16 CDU. This
allowed the team to add capabilities that had not previously existed on the legacy system. As a result, the RTSC CDU was the only
solution flown in a test aircraft operational utility evaluation in 2008.

raytheon systems limited

norwegian radar programme (norap) development team
Gary Dawson, Phil Hudson, Dave Spalding
For providing the first motion-compensated full Mode-S ATC
Secondary Surveillance Radar system for deployment on the
Heidran offshore gas production platform.

To compensate for the motion of the offshore platform, the NORAP

team developed an innovative solution that measures and records the
position and orientation of the radar antenna. It did so by incorporat-
ing twin precision and motion sensing systems on the platform. The
data was fed continuously into the online radar interrogator, enabling
it to calculate accurate range and bearing corrections. The team also achieved the required system uptime despite some extremely
challenging reliability requirements (99.99 percent inherent availability). Specifically, the platform was only accessible by helicopter
or ship, and extreme weather often limited access for extended periods.

2009
Information
Systems and
Computing
Symposium
ore than 400 engineers, technologists, customers and suppliers from across the

M country gathered outside of Boston in April for the first Information Systems and
Computing (ISaC) Symposium. Formerly the Processing Systems and Software
Systems Technology Networks, the two networks combined last year to form the new ISaC
Technology Network (TN). This event, like the other TN symposia, provided a unique oppor-
tunity for Raytheon employees to come together to share their knowledge and experiences
in a very tangible way, bring that shared knowledge back home with them, and use it to
develop even better products, services and solutions for our customers.

As the defense environment changes, so the Raytheon Technology Networks continue to

adapt to meet ever-changing technology challenges. One of the biggest changes seen in
the past year has been a broader awareness of the very real Advanced Persistent Threat and
its implications for our information assurance and information operations technologies.
Processing system security is being addressed in multiple products.

To address some of these new and daunting challenges, this year’s symposium focused on
four core areas: advanced analytics and intelligent systems, emerging architecture methods,
high-performance computing, and information systems/information operations. Attendees
were encouraged to participate in some of more than 150 sessions in several tracks and to
recognize that today’s engineers need to move freely across traditional boundaries. They
must be knowledgeable about financial, security and legal issues as well.

Moving forward, the ISaCTN recognizes its need to establish a forward-looking technology
focus. Just following the commercial-off-the-shelf industry does not serve the nation’s needs
for technology advantage on the battlefield. ISaCTN has identified potential focus areas such
as multicore processors, cybersecurity, software methods, FOSS, quantum computing and
GPUs. A key advantage of the new TN is that ISaC includes a strong focus on information
systems — knowledge management, intelligent systems, information assurance, and infor-
mation operations — building on the solid core of processor and software technology. The
combined focus on these areas will enable ISaC to guide Raytheon into the next decade. •
