Enduring customer relationships are integral to the development of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems for the United States and its allies. We listen, anticipate, respond and follow-through. Our intense customer focus has yielded superior systems integration for the Global Hawk® unmanned aerial vehicle, U-2 reconnaissance plane and classified programs. Internationally, the $1.4 billion Airborne Stand-off Radar (ASTOR) program for the United Kingdom celebrated major customer milestones, strengthening Raytheon’s bid to develop an airborne ground surveillance system for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The cornerstone of Raytheon’s international presence is its global companies in the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, as well as the joint venture, Thales-Raytheon Systems Company Limited. Raytheon Systems Limited, United Kingdom, won Britain’s Precision Guided Bomb program with the Paveway IV laser-guided bomb. Raytheon Australia Pty. Ltd. grew more than 30 percent in 2003 by acquiring Honeywell Aerospace Defence Services and winning contracts to replace the combat control system for Australia’s Collins-class submarines. Raytheon Canada Ltd., in partnership with the Canadian government, expanded distribution of the world’s first high-frequency surface wave radar. In 2003, Raytheon contracted business in 76 countries and strengthened the foundation for continued international growth.
