Since 2007 Raytheon has continued to slip on AMRAAM deliveries, leading the USAF to withhold $ 621 million in 2012 on account of 193 missiles not delivered.

Finnish Defence Forces reported on 3 September 2012 that the United States has not delivered any of the AMRAAM anti-aircraft missiles they had ordered due to a mysterious engine malfunction in cold weather that the manufacturer, Raytheon, has not been able to determine the fault of.

Production was later taken over by Raytheon Corporation ( RAYCO ) when it purchased the defense production business of Texas Instruments.

Specialists from Raytheon, Simrad ( now Kongsberg Maritime ), and Hydroacoustics, Inc .; Marty Klein of MIT and Klein Associates ( a producer of side scan sonar ); and Dr. Ira Dyer of MIT's Department of Ocean Engineering were all on hand to examine the data.

Further, P. Skitzki of Raytheon suggested that the data showed a protuberance, in length, projecting from one of the echoes.

In Korb v. Raytheon, 574 N. E. 2d 370, 410 Mass.

581 ( 1991 ), Raytheon terminated Lawrence Korb after receiving complaints of his public involvement in an anti-nuclear proliferation nonprofit known as the Committee for National Security ( CNS ) and his advocacy of reduced defense spending.

Despite writing a letter of retraction which ran in The Washington Post, Raytheon terminated Korb's position after it continued to receive " Navy, Air Force, and Armed Services Committee objections.

Prior to the work done at Raytheon, optical properties in nanocomposite ceramic materials had received little attention.

Research on passive radar systems is of growing interest throughout the world, with various open source publications showing active research and development in the United States ( including work at the Air Force Research Labs, Lockheed-Martin Mission Systems, Raytheon, University of Washington, Georgia Tech / Georgia Tech Research Institute and the University of Illinois ), in the NATO C3 Agency in The Netherlands, in the United Kingdom ( at Roke Manor Research, QinetiQ, University of Birmingham, University College London and BAE Systems, France ( including the government labs of ONERA ), Germany ( including the labs at FGAN-FHR ), Poland ( including Warsaw University of Technology ).

The specific heating effect of a beam of high-power microwaves was discovered accidentally in 1945, shortly after high-powered microwave radar transmitters were developed and widely disseminated by the Allies of World War II, using the British magnetron technology that was shared with the United States company, Raytheon, in order to secure production facilities to produce the magnetron.

On October 8, 1945 Raytheon filed a US patent for Spencer's microwave cooking-process, and an oven that heated food using microwave energy from a magnetron was soon placed in a Boston restaurant for testing.

American companies were then sought by the US government to perfect and mass-produce the magnetron for ground-based, airborne, and shipborne radar systems, and, with support from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Radiation Laboratory ( recently formed to investigate microwave radar ), Raytheon received a contract to build the devices.

Within a few months of being awarded the contract, Raytheon had already begun to mass manufacture magnetron tubes for use in radar sets and then complete radar systems.
