(El Segundo,
CA and Tucson,
AZ) The U.S.
defense contractor and industrial corporation, The Raytheon Company, continues
to do what it does best. Receive U.S.
Government contracts, is what it does best.
Additionally, its prowess when it comes to these types of matters, is
undisputed. Coincidentally and in early
June 2019, The Raytheon Company announced a merger. The merger will be with, the United
Technologies Corporation. The new name
of the business, post-merger will be, Raytheon Technologies. Recently, The Raytheon Company announced
that, its most recent work is now officially announcements. Specifically; the aforementioned business
revealed that, it has obtained contracts to do work for N.A.S.A., and, the U.S.
Navy. The work for N.A.S.A. is building
a G.L.I.M.R. sensor. Meanwhile, the work
for the U.S. Navy is production of E.S.S.M. Block 2 Missiles. Overall, these previous two things make up
The Raytheon Company’s announcements, for August 2019.
The
August 2019 announcements, according to The Raytheon Company, are in fact two
things. As previously said, these two
things are contracts to do work for N.A.S.A., and, the U.S. Navy. Continuing with this line of thought, the
building of a G.L.I.M.R. sensor is the contracted work for N.A.S.A. Additionally, the end point is being placed
on a N.A.S.A. satellite. As part of the
satellite, the G.L.I.M.R. sensor will measure coastal and ocean
ecosystems. G.L.I.M.R. is an acronym
that means Geostationary Littoral Imaging and Monitoring Radiometer. Technically, the contract to build is a
contract, from the University of New
Hampshire.
Regrettably, the financial terms were not disclosed. The satellite, is a crucial part of
N.A.S.A.’s selected Earth Venture Instrument-5 Investigation. Additionally, this satellite will become the
first hyperspectral imager in geostationary orbit (GEO Orbit).
Continuing
with, hyperspectral imaging, the aforementioned is imaging collection. The images are also processed information,
which are obtained from the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum includes visible light, infrared
frequencies and ultraviolet frequencies.
The end result, is a highly detailed view of physical and biological
conditions, of coastal waters.
Additionally, obtaining measurements is a possibility. For N.A.S.A.’s selected Earth Venture
Instrument-5 Investigation, the following is planned to be studied. Coastal and ocean ecosystems of the Gulf
of Mexico, the Southeastern U.S. coastline
and the Amazon River are planned to be studied.
Returning
to, the contract work for the U.S. Navy, the aforementioned is a low rate
initial production. This low rate
initial production contract, has a value of $190 million USD. Additionally, it is for E.S.S.M. Block 2
Missiles. The purpose for the
production, is a new guidance system.
The new guidance system; has a dual mode active radar, and, semi-active
radar. The initial operating capability
is planned, for the year 2020.
Specifically, the E.S.S.M. Block 2 Missile is a primary ship self-defense
missile. It is commonly used on aircraft
carriers, and, large deck amphibious assault ships. The E.S.S.M. Block 2 Missile is an
intermediate range, surface to air missile.
Interestingly, the E.S.S.M. Block 2 Missile is operational on almost
200, naval platforms worldwide. As a
program, the E.S.S.M. Program is a cooperative effort of 12 N.A.T.O.
countries. These 12 countries are; Australia,
Belgium, Canada,
Denmark, Germany,
Greece, The
Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, Spain,
Turkey and the United
States of America.
To
end, The Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN)
did release press statements. Jeff
Puschell is the G.L.I.M.R. Instrument Scientist and Principal Engineering
Fellow at Raytheon Space Systems of The Raytheon Company. Through a press statement, Mr. Puschell said
the following. “GLIMR will collect the
sharpest and most colorful view of physical and biological conditions in
coastal waters ever seen from GEO. A
hyperspectral imager is essential technology to capture new insight about our
changing coastal ecosystems.” Dr. Mitch
Stevison is the Vice President of Strategic and Naval Systems at The Raytheon
Company. Through a press statement, Dr.
Stevison said the following. “ESSM plays
a critical role in protecting navy sailors worldwide and our international
partners share our commitment to evolve this missile.” As previously stated, The Raytheon Company
recently announced that, its most recent work is now officially
announcements. Specifically; the
aforementioned business revealed that, it has obtained contracts to do work for
N.A.S.A., and, the U.S. Navy. The work
for N.A.S.A. is building a G.L.I.M.R. sensor.
Meanwhile, the work for the U.S. Navy is production of E.S.S.M. Block 2
Missiles. Lastly and overall, these
previous two things make up The Raytheon Company’s announcements, for August
2019.
