provides a significant amount of logistics support to Raytheon products and systems in the field. RTSC customers include
all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, NASA, the U.S. National Science Foundation, other governmental agencies and
foreign governments. RTSC consists of the following business areas:
System and Product Support Solutions (SPSS)—SPSS has primary responsibility for leading Mission
Support, Raytheon’s integrated approach to providing total life-cycle support, predicting customer needs, sensing
problems and proactively applying solutions. SPSS also specializes in logistics systems engineering as well as civil,
logistics, reliability and maintenance and safety engineering. SPSS provides technical, installation, maintenance and site
integration work on major command and control systems, including telecommunications upgrades at more than 5,000
FAA facilities.
Logistics and Training Systems (LTS)—LTS provides logistics, supply chain management, training, classified
and unclassified operations and maintenance support services. Programs include U.S. Army Live Training, in which LTS
provides lifecycle management and operations and maintenance services in support of field training at more than 20 sites,
and counter-proliferation and counter-terrorism programs with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
Engineering & Production Support (EPS)—EPS offers a broad spectrum of engineering and limited-
production services, including Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) level 4 software engineering. EPS
manufactures the Shared Reconnaissance Pod which provides real-time, high-resolution imaging to air crews.
Depot Operations (DO)—DO operates repair and maintenance depots that are centers of excellence for the support
and repair of military and commercial communications and electronics systems. Programs include work for the National
Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory which is developing advanced laser and fusion technologies.
Polar Services—This business area specializes in base and range services, providing science support, operations, IT
and communications systems, logistics, and facilities engineering and construction services and support to the United
States Antarctic Program (USAP).
Aircraft—Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC), headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, designs, develops, manufactures,
markets and provides global support for business jets, turboprops and piston-powered aircraft for the world’s
commercial, fractional ownership, and military aircraft markets. RAC’s primary objective is to provide the finest quality
aircraft and best service and support in the industry. RAC markets its aircraft under its leading Beechcraft®and Hawker®
brands and primarily through its own sales force, as well as through a network of authorized independent sales
representatives. RAC provides support through nearly 100 factory-owned and authorized service centers and over 1,000
trained field service representatives worldwide.
In 2005, RAC introduced six derivative aircraft models, including the Hawker 800Xpi, Beechcraft Premier IA, Beechcraft
King Air C90GT, Beechcraft Bonanza G36, Beechcraft Baron G58 and an increased gross weight Beechcraft King Air 350.
The Hawker 4000 is the flagship of the Hawker line and is intended to set the standard for quality, performance and value
in the super-midsize class of aircraft. The Company anticipates that the new composite-fuselage Hawker 4000 will be
certified in early 2006.
RAC’s jet line includes the Hawker 800Xpi midsize jet, the Hawker 400XP light jet, and the Beechcraft Premier IA entry
level light jet. RAC’s turboprop line includes the Beechcraft King Air 350, King Air B200 and King Air C90GT. RAC’s
piston powered aircraft line includes the twin engine Beechcraft Baron G58 and the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza
G36. In addition, the Beechcraft T-6A Texan II serves as the military trainer for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy’s Joint
Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS), as well as for certain foreign countries’ air forces.
RAC also markets, produces and supports a wide range of special mission aircraft for military and governments
worldwide. Missionized versions of the Beechcraft King Air Series, Pistons and Hawker 400XP and 800XP (and
predecessor models), are currently in-service worldwide. In 2005, RAC introduced its next-generation military trainer,
the new Beechcraft T-6B, which is currently in the development and certification phase and will offer upgraded avionics,
Head-Up-Display (HUD) and light attack capability, and its new Beechcraft King Air 350ER, which will offer extended
