What it makes
Missiles for the 'free world': Probably the best known of its long inventory of missiles are the Stinger family of surface-to-air missiles and the Tomahawk cruise missile. However, there are plenty more examples including Paveway bombs, Javelin anti-tank missiles, Joint Standoff Weapons, Sidewinder and AIM-120 air-to-air missiles and Maverick air-to-ground missiles. The Maverick guided missile has been in service with the US Air Force since 1972 and, according to Raytheon, 'is the most widely used precision-guided missile in the free world'.
Since 1999, both the Tomahawk cruise missile and the AGM-154A Joint Standoff Weapon have been used against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and, most recently, Iraq. Both of these missiles can be equipped to deploy cluster submunitions.
Radar and targeting: Raytheon also specialises in radar, surveillance and targeting systems. These are in use on most US-produced combat aircraft including the Special Forces AC-130U and AC-130H airborne gunships. One group of such systems is referred to as the 'Terminator family of targeting systems' which is in use in the F-18 Hornet fighter and the Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle.
Ballistic Missile Defense: Raytheon is one of the big four Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) companies and has extensive involvement in each of the four main segments of the programme (boost, mid-course, terminal and sensors). Its involvement includes production of the Standard Missile-3, being systems integrator for the (Patriot) PAC-3 system and prime contractor for the 'Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle' and both the X-band and Upgraded Early Warning Radars.
Exports
Raytheon exports billions of dollars worth of military equipment each year. In 2002 its total exports amounted to $2.6 billion. Its client list includes Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Oman, Singapore, Greece, Taiwan and South Korea. The AIM-120 air-to-air missile alone has been sold to more than 20 countries, including 'recent controversial offers' to Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.
