Maintaining its 15-year partnership with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), Raytheon continues supporting DTRA’s mission: safeguarding the world’s interests from weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high explosives) by controlling and reducing the threat and providing quality tools and services for the war fighter. In 2003, RTSC was awarded projects to provide operations, supply chain and logistics services in Russia, Ukraine and Iraq. In Russia, RTSC supports the elimination of SS-25 missiles, mobile launchers and support vehicles and renovation of SS-25 launcher and vehicle elimination facilities.

In addition to supporting simulators NASA uses to perform crew training for manned space missions, RTSC provides NASA with space and earth science, information technology and engineering support services. In 2003, NASA selected RTSC to provide real-time mission support, operation and sustaining engineering for the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory and the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility at Johnson Space Center. These facilities are used to prepare astronauts for space flights and space walks. NASA also selected Raytheon to manage and operate the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex at Tidbinbilla, the primary focus for NASA’s space-communications activities within Australia. The space tracking station is one of three facilities forming NASA's Deep Space Network.

RTSC orchestrated the unprecedented offloading of a refueling tanker from a sea-ice berthing for the National Science Foundation (NSF). Ice at the NSF’s logistics and science hub in Antarctica prevented icebreakers from opening a channel wide enough for the tanker to reach the station. Without fuel, two base stations would not have been fully operational the following season — jeopardizing the customer’s mission of conducting science on the southernmost continent. RTSC successfully pumped 6,500,000 gallons of fuel across nearly four miles of ice — safely and without damaging the environment.

RTSC is working across the company to integrate engineering, technology and logistics capabilities to offer customers full service product support solutions.
