In order to help you tap into the newly available funds, Raytheon has prepared the Stimulus Package and Grant Information Guide to assist you in implementing its interoperability and P25 solutions.

Below you’ll find specific grant and ARRA program information including an overview of the program, the total amount allocated, matching requirement and contact information.
