There are few forces on earth more powerful than the forces of nature. At Raytheon, our environmental solutions leverage 40 years of proven performance to keep customers one step ahead of these forces at all times. Our innovative sensing, communications, processing, and visualization technologies quickly and reliably provide decision makers accurate land, sea, sky and space environmental information.
Enormous raw environmental data sets reduced to meaningful information help solve specific problems such as storm track forecasts, climate change, ocean temperature anomalies, and atmospheric disturbances. This translates directly into decision aids for solving environmentally dependent economic, technical, and social problems such as natural disaster and emergency preparedness, response and management; farming practices; disease control; electric power distribution; transportation; surveillance, intelligence, navigation, and communication system performance.
Raytheon environmental solutions coupled with our company research and technology capabilities provide a complete source for powerful tools that can help manage the uncertainties and about our planet's environment.

The critical cornerstone of successful weather prediction lies in the ability to comprehensively identify and gather all relevant environmental data.
The next critical step requires sophisticated tools to quickly, reliably and accurately collate and analyze collected data to make it useful and relevant to decision makers.
Decision support is where information becomes knowledge for making the right decisions. Raytheon empowers military and civilian decision makers by creating actionable intelligence.
Raytheon mission support services provide integrated, custom life-cycle support solutions that ensure each mission has the right products, systems and capabilities at the right place and time - every time.
AWIPS is central to the ability of NOAA’s National Weather Service to predict weather, water, and climate conditions.
The NPOESS is a next-generation satellite system that will greatly enhance our ability to monitor global environment.
