for Israel. AMDS is also the production partner for the Iron Dome weapon system. The product line is also involved in other
advanced missile defense concepts that seek to keep pace with the evolving ballistic missile threat.
Naval and Area Mission Defense (NAMD)—NAMD offers a complete family of mission solutions for customers around the
world. The product line provides highly effective layered ship defense for the navies of more than 30 countries across multiple
platforms to counter the anti-ship threats of today and tomorrow. NAMD leverages its proven capabilities to provide forward-
operating base defense for the U.S. Army, Air Force and Marine Corps. The product line designs, develops, manufactures,
and supports a variety of products that include the Phalanx® Close-In Weapon System (employed afloat and ashore), the
Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM™) and Launcher System, the SeaRAM® system, Standard Missile-2 (SM-2), and the ESSM®
family of missiles for layered ship mission protection against air, subsurface and surface cruise/ballistic missile threats. NAMD
continues to leverage its strategic international cooperative partnerships to evolve its existing products and technologies with
a goal of addressing the full spectrum of threats.
Land Warfare Systems (LWS)—From precision missiles and munitions to advanced electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors,
LWS offers integrated mission solutions in the land domain for the U.S. Army, Marine Corps and more than 40 allied nations
that provide warfighters the situational awareness and lethality they need to defeat evolving complex threats. LWS’s programs
include the Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wireless-guided (TOW®) weapon system, a long-range precision anti-armor/
anti-fortification/anti-amphibious-landing weapon system; Javelin, a shoulder-fired, fire-and-forget anti-tank weapon; Stinger,
a lightweight, self-contained, fire-and-forget, very short-range air defense system; TALON™ Laser-Guided Rocket, a precision
guided munition co-developed with the United Arab Emirates that can be fired both air-to-ground and ground-to-air;
Excalibur®, a GPS-guided artillery round designed to provide indirect precision fire for ground forces; enhanced Long Range
Advanced Scout Surveillance System (eLRAS3), a third-generation, multi-sensor system that provides the ability to detect,
identify and engage distant targets; a family of light to heavy Thermal Weapon Sights (TWS); and integrated system solutions
for combat vehicle upgrade programs including the U.S. Army’s Stryker Fighting Vehicle, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the
Abrams Main Battle Tank, and the U.S. Marine Corps Light Armored Vehicle-Anti-Tank (LAV-AT) modernization programs.
Advanced Missile Systems (AMS)—AMS focuses on the development and early introduction of next-generation, end-to-end
system solutions that support the AWS, NAMD, AMDS and LWS product lines. AMS also pursues opportunities in directed
energy and adjacent markets, including the development of force protection solutions, non-kinetic weapons, high-power
microwave/millimeter-wave technologies and applications, telemetry systems, collaborative weapons systems, space
applications, and hypersonic solutions.
Space and Airborne Systems (SAS)—SAS, headquartered in McKinney, Texas, is a leader in the design and development
of integrated sensor and communication systems for advanced missions, including traditional and non-traditional ISR, precision
engagement, unmanned aerial operations, and space. Leveraging advanced concepts, state-of-the-art technologies and mission
systems knowledge, SAS provides electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors, airborne radars for surveillance and fire control
applications, lasers, precision guidance systems, signals intelligence systems, processors, electronic warfare systems,
communication systems, and space-qualified systems for civil and military applications. Key customers include the U.S. Navy,
Air Force, Army, and classified and international customers.
In 2015, SAS strengthened Raytheon’s role as a leader in Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite
communications by starting low-rate initial production of communications terminals for the U.S. Air Force’s Family of
Advanced Beyond Line of Sight Terminal (FAB-T) program that allows the President of the United States, senior military
advisors and combatant commanders to receive and transmit voice, data, imagery and video across the world to support various
military operations. This positions Raytheon for opportunities to deploy this critical capability to other existing and future
airborne platforms. SAS also continued to advance its next-generation electronic warfare business with successful flight tests
of its Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) airborne electronic attack and jamming systems under development for the U.S. Navy,
and a series of airborne cyber capability electronic attack flight demonstrations. SAS delivered the 200th APG-63(V)3 active
electronically scanned array (AESA) radar for the F-15 platform, which is used by the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard
and multiple coalition partners around the world. With the Missile Defense Laser Development Program award, which is a
precursor to a demonstration program, SAS continues to establish itself as a leader in High Energy Lasers.
