Raytheon’s Advanced Technology team incubates capabilities that fuel the future of defense. Together with leading research and development organizations, defense agencies, peers and partners, and with a focus on cutting-edge components to full-scale solutions, early ideation to production readiness, seabed to space, we shape the systems and solutions that advance defense.
Advanced Weapons
We combine the power of smart kinetic effectors and directed energy systems like high-power microwaves to deliver layered threat defense.
High-Power Microwave Systems
The future of a modern defense, high-power microwaves have a nearly unlimited magazine and the ability to defeat enemy hypersonic weapons or a swarm of drones with a single electronics-disabling shot.
Hypersonics
Hypersonic weapons travel in excess of five times the speed of sound and are highly maneuverable to avoid countermeasures.
All-Domain Sensors
We bring together next-generation sensors that are smart, flexible and deployable in any environment.
Space Sensors
Developing a next-generation of affordable all-modality sensors for persistence coverage – enabling new cross-domain, beyond line-of-sight architectures.
