Released on Monday, June 23, 2008

 

TEWKSBURY, Mass., June 23, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE:

RTN) has been awarded a $76.2 million U.S. Army contract to provide mission

sustainment and support for the Rapid Aerostat Initial Deployment systems

that protect U.S. and coalition forces in Operations Enduring Freedom and

Iraqi Freedom.

Raytheon first developed RAID to meet the military's increasingly

critical need for persistent surveillance in Operations Enduring Freedom

and Iraqi Freedom. RAID consists of infrared sensor systems elevated on a

stationary platform. This capability enables U.S. and coalition forces to

respond rapidly to threatening situations.

"Critical systems such as RAID must work first time, every time to be

effective," said Pete Franklin, vice president of National & Theater

Security Programs for Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. "This award

enables Raytheon to continue providing unparalleled support to our

warfighters and reinforces an unwavering commitment to ensuring the highest

operational readiness for our soldiers and Marines."

Raytheon IDS will provide engineering services, spares procurement,

field service representative training and integrated logistics support

services for RAID systems currently deployed. Work will be performed at

Raytheon IDS' Integrated Air Defense Center, Andover, Mass., and at the

Warfighter Protection Center, Huntsville, Ala.
