Technology Division
Raytheon UTD’s Technology Division employs the company’s proud tradition of applying basic engineering fundamentals and a broad understanding of our client’s requirements to develop innovative, lasting solutions across a large range of problems. We retain a core expertise in underground technology development resulting in multiple patents and government awards as an innovator in the field.
An example of Raytheon UTD’s innovation is the Low Reaction Force Drill for the Mars Technology Program Office of NASA. This technology provides the Mars missions a low power, deep drilling capability which uses 5 times less power than the nearest competitors design.
This same commitment to “First Principles First” pushes us as innovators to extend far a field of our underground technology focus as demonstrated by the development of an advanced “parking” brake for rail freight cars for the Federal Railway Administration and a breakaway safety link for telephone pole guide wires for the Federal Highway Administration.
