* Raytheon company's Navy Multiband Terminal ( NMT ) is the first advanced, next-generation satellite communications ( SATCOM ) system to successfully log on to and communicate with the U. S. government's Milstar SATCOM system using low and medium data rate waveforms.

In the framework of Ground-Based Midcourse Defense, Raytheon is developing a Ground Based Interceptor ( GBI ) which includes a booster missile and a kinetic Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle ( EKV ), along with several key radar components, such as the Sea-Based X-Band Radar ( SBX ) and the Upgraded Early Warning Radars ( UEWR ).

Raytheon is a developer of missiles and related missile defense systems.

Raytheon Professional Services ( RPS ) is a global leader in training services and learning outsourcing for over 75 years.

* In September 2010, Raytheon and the Business-Higher Education Forum ( BHEF ) announced three new activities to help policymakers and educators tackle the challenges associated with improving science, technology, engineering, and math ( STEM ) education in the U. S. Central to this effort is the release of a new STEM modeling effort, for which Raytheon and BHEF will target regionally specific models.

As the vast majority of Raytheon's revenues have been obtained from defense contracts, there has been a tight relationship of cooperation between itself and the U. S. Department of Defense and other U. S. government departments and agencies ( e. g. in the Fiscal Year 2007 the National Science Foundation awarded Raytheon $ 152 million dollars in grants, more than to any other institution and organization in the country, for managing NSF South Pole Station ).

On the other hand, Raytheon has also been involved in several contract disputes with the U. S. Government.

In October 1994, Raytheon paid $ 4 million to settle a U. S. government claim that it inflated a defense contract for antimissile radar.

Just one year earlier, on October 14, 1993, Raytheon paid $ 3. 7 million to settle allegations that it misled the U. S. Defense Department by overstating the labor costs involved in manufacturing Patriot missiles.

The U. S. Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, wrote to his UK counterpart, George Robertson, with assurances that procurement of the Raytheon missile would not leave the UK vulnerable to U. S. export restrictions, which could potentially handicap Eurofighter exports, a major concern highlighted by Meteor supporters.

The British House of Commons Defence Select Committee summarised the reasons behind the decision in its Tenth Report: " The Meteor missile has some clear advantages over its Raytheon competitor — it appears to offer the more militarily effective solution ; it should help rationalise and consolidate the European missile industry, and provide future competitions with a counterweight to U. S. dominance in this field ; and it entails a lower risk of constraints on Eurofighter exports.
