On July 5, 2006, Raytheon’s Network Centric Systems (NCS) business announced the acquisition of Virtual Technology Corporation (VTC) of Alexandria, Va.

VTC is a leading developer of joint, net-enabled, command and control and modeling and simulation solutions. The privately-held company was recently named to Deloitte and Touche’s Technology Fast 500 list.

“As part of Network Centric Systems, VTC will be able to build upon its commitment to customers and focus on providing fanatical customer support,” said Colin Schottlaender, NCS president. “We’re especially thrilled about VTC’s expertise in live, virtual and constructive modeling and simulation capabilities and VTC’s experience supporting advanced joint and combined network-centric command and control applications. There are many things that we can learn from VTC.”

By acquiring VTC and its 125 employees, Raytheon is adding cutting-edge capabilities critical to its customers, and bolstering its position as a leader in net-centric operations and Mission System Integration.
