Raytheon delivers highly complex Data Processing suites for space mission systems. These suites accept raw satellite data and extract actionable information from them using state-of-art hardware in processing configurations tailored to mission requirements. Raytheon systems are scalable to mission data loads, requiring sophisticated management of hundreds of processes creating tens of thousands of records daily. These data are managed and distributed by relational database management systems and web services. Raytheon applies its extensive experience with relational databases to design and implement custom database management systems with graphical user interfaces, and employs object-oriented, component-based, open-standards, service-oriented architectures for optimum mission performance.

Raytheon is the industry leader in software reuse for satellite applications, achieving up to 80% on some implementations. This successful experience yields the most cost effective approach to developing and integrating large data processing systems. In addition, Raytheon is adept at integrating COTS software packages (including their graphics and user interface packages) within their tailored routines, and in implementing a robust process of converting science to operational code, which implements standardized data management and process control routines and isolates the core mathematical processing for ease of upgrade or replacement. More importantly, our documented and practiced processes for software development, reuse, and COTS integration, as well as our full understanding of the mission design and implementation considerations, contain development times and costs, and assure mission success.
