Mission: Sensing and Data Collection
Unprecedented Accuracy
Raytheon’s unseen but unmatched technology is onboard satellites, helping to predict the weather, monitor our climate and capture images of our planet. Our sensing and radar innovations do more than deliver superior performance. Innovations like the Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite and the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System enable more accurate and timely weather forecasting, protecting lives and reducing the costly impacts of severe storms.
