Raytheon Seeks Solutions For Defeating Improvised Explosive Devices
Washington DC (SPX) Apr 04, 2008 Raytheon has launched a new Web site to recruit industry and academic partners to help defeat improvised explosive devices (IED), the No. 1 killer of service members in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Web site allows industry and academia to make teaming and partnership recommendations for proposed solutions and to receive rapid, confidential reviews and feedback on those solutions. The site also maintains proprietary safeguards to protect submitted information against improper disclosure. "As an industry leader in Mission Systems Integration, Raytheon is committed to ending the threat of IEDs to service members," said Jack Costello, vice president of Business Development and Strategic Planning for Raytheon Network Centric Systems. "Coalition forces are still being affected on the battlefield, so we decided to exhaust every opportunity to find the best solutions. I hope industry accepts our challenge in this important endeavor." As the leader of this effort, the Raytheon IED-Defeat Task Force offers solutions that fill technology and capability gaps. The task force also addresses urgent operational needs in programs approved and funded by the Defense Department's Joint IED Defeat Office, the Department of Homeland Security, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, as well as the Army and the Navy.
