Missile Systems (MS), with 2006 sales of $4.5 billion,
is a leading producer of missile systems for U.S.
and allied forces. Focusing on rapid, high-quality,
affordable solutions, the business provides
revolutionary technologies to increase warfi ghting
capability in the evolving battlespace.
MS’ Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile
(AMRAAM) continues to be one of the most carried
air-to-air missiles in the U.S. arsenal and is now
deployed in 32 countries around the world. Last
year, MS also delivered the fi rst production rounds
of the GPS-guided Excalibur projectile, providing
unprecedented accuracy for U.S. Army and
Marine Corps artillery, and it responded to urgent
warfi ghter needs with a Land-Based Phalanx Weapon
System to counter rockets, artillery and mortars.
The business again demonstrated its advanced
missile defense technologies with successful tests
of its Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) and
Standard Missile-3.
Applying its technologies to new markets, Raytheon
earned a homeland security contract award for MS’
Vigilant Eagle system, which uses directed energy to
protect aircraft from shoulder-fi red missiles.
