Raytheon's primary objective is to provide our customer with a fast, efficient, on-schedule completion of equipment installation and integration.

Installation Management
Program management personnel, based at Raytheon's facility in Marlborough, Massachusetts, monitor and direct installation activities.

A lead site engineer is assigned in-country to manage and oversee installation and integration of the contracted system.

Close coordination with customers is maintained throughout the scheduled installation period until a successful Site Acceptance Test (SAT) and hand-over are complete.

Installation Process
Site Surveys and Site Designs - Extensive data collection and evaluation of customer locations, configurations, and requirements; interpretation of site data integrated with new system requirements and complemented by full documentation.

Site Preparation and Civil Works - Preliminary site infrastructure work to enhance power, grounding, wiring, and mechanical assembly.

Installation - Logical population of system electronics and interconnections and preliminary testing.
