optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor payloads for several Army aviation platforms. In addition, SAS expanded its international
activity with the award of contracts to deliver 79 radar warning receivers to the Royal Australian Air Force.
SAS’ major customers include the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Army, as well as classified and international customers.
SAS has the following principal product lines:
ⳮTactical Airborne Systems (TAS)—TAS designs and manufactures affordable, high-performance integrated
avionics to offer new capabilities to next generation platforms, and the global base of tactical airborne systems. TAS
provides solutions using advanced fire control radars, electronic warfare systems, processor solutions and technologies
to customers including the U.S. Navy and Air Force and foreign governments. TAS produces radars using either
mechanically scanned or AESA antennas for the U.S. Air Force’s F-15 and B-2 aircraft and for the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18
fighter jet. TAS also provides electronic warfare equipment for aircraft and shipboard self-protection systems to
counter threats and enhance platform and force survivability, including ALE-50 and Advanced Towed Decoys, and
ALR-67(V)3 Radar Warning Receiver. In addition, TAS’ advanced airborne processors form the basis of the mission
computer/signal processing systems in the F-16, F-22A and F-35 aircraft.
ⳮIntelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems (ISRS)—ISRS designs and manufactures
sensor, surveillance and targeting solutions that enable actionable information and persistence across the battlespace.
ISRS provides maritime surveillance radars, terrain following/terrain avoidance (TF/TA) radars and electro-optical
and infrared sensors for surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting mission support, including the APY-10 radar for
the U.S. Navy’s Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft, and the ASQ-228 ATFLIR targeting pod for the F/A-18. ISRS also
provides the Enhanced Integrated Sensor Suite (EISS) for the Global Hawk unmanned aerial system, which enables
Global Hawk to scan large geographic areas and produce outstanding high-resolution reconnaissance imagery.
ⳮSpace Systems (SS)—SS designs and manufactures space and space-qualified sensor payloads for large national
programs and develops innovative solutions for emerging intelligence, defense, and civil space applications. SS
customers and programs are predominantly classified. Its non-classified programs include the Space Tracking and
Surveillance System (STSS), a system for midcourse tracking and dissemination of objects, and the Visible Infrared
Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), which will provide advanced imaging and radiometric capabilities onboard the
National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS).
ⳮMission System Integration (MSI)—MSI provides integrated solutions for all tiers of airborne ISR systems.
MSI provides the dual mode Synthetic Aperture Radar/Moving Target Indicator (SAR/MTI) sensor for the Airborne
Stand-Off Radar (ASTOR) program for the U.K. Ministry of Defense, which enables high-resolution images and the
monitoring of hostile forces. Additionally, MSI leverages its integration expertise for domestic and international
airborne platform and unmanned aerial systems.
ⳮOther SAS product lines include Advanced Concepts and Technologies (ACT) and Integrated Technology Programs
(ITP). ACT conducts internal research and development for SAS and contract research and development for
customers, including the U.S. Air Force Research Lab and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
ITP provides a wide range of state-of-the-art product families and engineering services in support of the DoD’s recent
efforts to transform the capabilities and structure of the U.S. armed forces, including a variety of sophisticated GPS
systems and anti-jam solutions for many customers including the U.S. Air Force and Navy.
Technical Services (TS)—TS, headquartered in Reston, Virginia, provides technical, scientific and professional
services for defense, federal and commercial customers worldwide. It specializes in Mission Support, counter-
proliferation and counter-terrorism, base and range operations and customized engineering services. Mission Support is
Raytheon’s integrated set of cost effective technologies, solutions and services that support our customers, ensuring
operational readiness of the enterprise to achieve mission success.
In 2007, TS led a team that secured the Warfighter Field Operations Customer Support (FOCUS) contract to consolidate
the U.S. Army live, virtual and constructive training operations and support systems worldwide. TS was also selected as
