Between 1969 and 1975, Bill Brown was technical director of a JPL Raytheon program that beamed 30 kW of power over a distance of 1 mile (1.6 km) at 84% efficiency.
He got a job working for Raytheon designing guidance systems, which was part of the Route 128 high-tech axis in those days -- so, the equivalent of Silicon Valley in the '70s.
Raytheon continued to develop improvements to the TOW line, but its FOTT (Follow-On To TOW) program was cancelled in 1998, and its TOW-FF (TOW-Fire and Forget) program was cut short on 30 November 2001 because of funding limitations.
Thermal imaging cameras, such as the Raytheon AN/AAQ-26, are used in a variety of applications, including naval vessels, fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and armored fighting vehicles.

Across the aerospace industry, Raytheon is commonly referred to as an engineering company, but Swanson wants Raytheon to be recognized for engineering and innovation, which requires corporatewide improvements by the entire Raytheon team working collaboratively.

Following the meeting, he marshaled Raytheon resources to create what became the U.S. STEM Education Model, an open-source tool for making STEM policy decisions and guiding practitioners.
Craig Oxman, a managing director and global head of the Aerospace/Defense Group of Credit Suisse, applauds Swanson for transforming Raytheon from a company defined by variability to a cohesive and focused enterprise.
Before becoming CEO, Swanson recognized that the priorities of Raytheon's customer base – 90% of which are governments – increasingly focused on predictable outcomes and more affordable products.
"If you are a vendor to Raytheon or Boeing or Bosch, you're being pulled into that customer's supply chain and you're interacting directly with their cloud-based ERP systems."
"Raytheon's margins are to-die-for in an industry that is very constrained by government rules and regulations," said Tom Captain, vice chairman and US Aerospace & Defense Leader for management consulting firm Deloitte.
"Raytheon is engaging with partners across industry, government and academia to implement the use of materials and processes for printed radio frequency structures," said Mary Herndon, senior principal engineer at Raytheon.

One of Swanson's strengths, Captain said, is that he doesn't chase management fads. "If you stick to your knitting and follow basic business and management principles you win, and that is exactly what Swanson has instilled across Raytheon," Captain said.
Raytheon Company Chairman and CEO Bill Swanson, who is stepping down as CEO at the end of March, 2014, has developed a few simple rules during his 41 years in the aerospace and defense industry: Apply discipline to everything, model performance to ensure outcomes and – if you really want to keep your shareholders happy – always give customers more than they expect.
The effort is part of Raytheon's flagship STEM education program, which connects with students from elementary school through college, supports educators and policymakers, and promotes racial and gender equality to make a meaningful, long-term impact.
From that perspective, modeling and simulation may be the purest form of optimizing the "customer experience," because Raytheon's Model-Based Enterprise helps government customers visualize evolving requirements.
