• Counterfeit Parts Mitigation/Identification
• Counterfeit Parts Mitigation/Identification
  
  Raytheon is fully qualified to address the proliferation of counterfeit, re-marked, and recycled parts and materials in the electronics manufacturing industry. We maintain a large suite of laboratory testing capabilities on site, staffed by expert lab professionals. To support our inspection and testing efforts, we can draw on a database containing 25 years of parts data for comparison.
  
  In addition, Raytheon is engaged with various national organizations and working groups dealing with the CFP issue. We are a member of GIDEP (Government-Industry Data Exchange Program), the most recognized organization that tracks counterfeit material occurrences.
  
  We also serve on the Society of Automotive Engineers’ G-19 Counterfeit Electronic Components Committee whose charter is to prevent, detect, respond to and counteract the threat of counterfeit electronic components. As a member of this SAE committee, Raytheon is creating solutions capable of performing all G-19 recommended nondestructive and destructive analytical techniques. (See chart below.)
  
  Other groups Raytheon is involved with include:
  

  • The ERAI High-Risk Parts Database group, which provides in-depth information about counterfeit, substandard and high-risk parts; and
  • The Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA), a nonprofit trade association representing ethically oriented independent distributors of high-quality electronic components
