Raytheon Company Description
Raytheon ("light of the gods") took a shine to its place in the upper pantheon of US military contractors; the company regularly places among the Pentagon's top 10 prime contractors. The company's defense offerings include reconnaissance, targeting, and navigation systems, as well as missile systems (Patriot, Sidewinder, and Tomahawk), and radars. Raytheon also makes radios, air traffic control systems and radars, and satellite communications systems. Raytheon also offers commercial electronics products and services, but the US government accounts for more than 85% of sales.
