“It is not technology for technology’s sake. It’s technology to get capability to the field, and I think we’re all very passionate about that.”
Colin Whelan
Raytheon Advanced Technology business president
“It became obvious that if we tried to build the (SPY-6) radar out of the premier semiconductor at the time, which was gallium arsenide, it was going to be large and expensive because you would have to put together many of these little power amplifier chips to get to the power level you wanted.”
Steve Bernstein
Raytheon Advanced Technology senior engineering fellow
“It created a category of weapons capability that didn’t exist before.”
Kevin Bredehoft
Raytheon Advanced Technology HAWC program manager
“This is going to be eye-watering, transformational performance for the country and our international partners. Just to be a part of it and say, ‘I was there at the beginning, and I helped drive this,’.. I can’t ask for anything more.”
