Raytheon Information Solutions (RIS)—RIS provides IT solutions in technical computing, enterprise systems,
e-Commerce and logistics management. Programs include: US-VISIT, a program to develop an integrated, automated
system to track the entry and exit of visitors entering the U.S; the operation and maintenance of the Advanced Weather
Information Processing System for NOAA; and the maintenance on a variety of U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
mission critical systems. RIS is also a key supplier of scientific and engineering services to NASA at five centers around the
U.S. and is a leader in high performance computing systems with contracts at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Laboratory and the Army Research Laboratory.
Tactical Intelligence Systems (TIS)—TIS provides products and services relating to manned and unmanned
SIGINT sensors, ground control of airborne SIGINT sensors, multi-INT ground systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) ground stations and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) battle space management. Programs
include: Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS), the U.S. Air Force’s Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance global network weapon system; Consolidated Field Services (CFS) for all sensors and ground systems and
data links for the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft; and Tactical Control System (TCS) for simultaneous control of multiple
UAVs and their payloads from the same station.
Missile Systems (MS)—MS, headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, is a leading missile manufacturer, developing and
supporting a broad range of cutting edge solutions and products for the armed forces of the U.S. and other countries. MS
consists of the following business areas:
Naval Weapon Systems (NWS)—NWS provides defensive missiles and guided projectiles supporting the navies of
over 30 countries. Programs include: the Standard Missile family of state-of-the-art air and missile defense missiles,
which are the U.S. Navy’s primary defense against aircraft; Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM), which provides self-
defense against high-speed, highly maneuverable anti-ship missiles; Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM), a supersonic, light-
weight, quick-reaction, fire-and-forget missile designed to destroy antiship missiles; Phalanx, an advanced radar-
controlled gun system that provides defense against close-in air and surface threats; and Extended Range Guided
Munition (ERGM), a new GPS guided projectile that will support forces ashore with sustained, accurate fire.
Strike—This business area provides products and services designed to enable U.S. Air Force and Navy customers to
attack, suppress or destroy ground-based targets. Programs include: Tactical Tomahawk, an advanced surface- or
sub-launched cruise missile with loitering and network communication capability; Paveway laser guided “smart” bomb;
Joint Stand Off Weapon (JSOW), a joint U.S. Navy/Air Force low cost, air-to-ground weapon; High Speed Anti-
Radiation Missile (HARM), which suppresses or destroys surface-to-air missile radars, early warning radars, and radar-
directed air defense artillery systems; and Maverick, a family of versatile, precision strike missiles.
Air-to-Air—This business area provides air-to-air missiles. Programs include: AIM 9X, a joint U.S. Navy and Air Force
program for the development of the latest member of the Sidewinder short-range missile family; and Advanced Medium
Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), a state of the art, highly dependable and battle proven air-to-air missile.
Land Combat—This business area provides missiles to the U.S. Army and more than 25 U.S. allies. Programs include:
Javelin, a fire and forget anti-tank weapon; Non-Line of Site Launch System (NLOS-LS), an integral part of the U.S.
Army’s Future Combat Systems (FCS); and Excalibur, a new GPS guided projectile designed to provide direct support for
ground forces.
Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV)—This business area focuses on producing the exoatmospheric kill vehicle,
the intercept component of the Ground Based Interceptor (GBI) for the Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD)
system, which is being designed to protect the U.S. against limited ballistic missile attacks and is part of the BMDS. The
EKV product consists of an infrared seeker in a flight package, used to detect and discriminate against incoming warheads
carrying weapons of mass destruction.
Other MS business areas include: Kinetic Energy Interceptors, which focuses on designing and developing kinetic energy-
based missiles that can intercept and destroy enemy ballistic missiles during their boost/ascent and mid-course phases of
flight; Advanced Missile Defense, Directed Energy Weapons, which pursues opportunities in the missile defense and
directed energy markets, including the development of new kill vehicles, NASA/space applications, discrimination, high
