Raytheon (Raytheon Company) is one of the world’s leading defense contractors supplying both state-of-the-art (SOA) military and industrial grades of electronic components, ordnance, training programs, in addition to mission system integration (MSI&T) services. Raytheon’s electronics section provides equipment with the functionality of effectively degrading, disrupting, and eliminating rival computer hardware. Weaponry developed through Raytheon are manufactured not only to include significant precision, but to additionally be as effective as possible by furthermore constraining any collateral damage. As a technological innovative industry leader, their perception is “To be the most admired defense and aerospace systems company through their world-class people, innovation and technology.” (Raytheon Company, 2014) The organization is supplemented by various other international Raytheon operations such as Canadian, Israeli, Australian, and Chilean offices. Raytheon holds established offices in nineteen individual countries to distribute products and services to over eighty different countries around the world. The worldwide aspect of Raytheon addresses five focus ‘Strategic Business Areas’ including Homeland Security, Missile Defense, Precision Engagement, …show more content…
The company kept expanding its electronics capability through various acquisitions that resulted into Raytheon producing missile guidance systems (MGCS). Its missile grew to become the first missile to intercept and destroy an aircraft (AAM). Raytheon evolved into a large producer of missile based systems. In 1959 after further acquisitions, Raytheon Manufacturing Company became Raytheon Company. After the wars, Raytheon united with additional companies and was able to produce the first microwave for the general public. At present, Raytheon produces the majority of missile guidance systems in the
In Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Iraqi forces fired 93 Scud missiles at coalition forces in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. (Rostker) Air Defense Artillery (ADA) played an immensely significant role in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm with units from 11th Brigade Air Defense Artillery and the 32d Air Defense Command rapidly deploying into theater. The effectiveness of the units and their roles in fighting this war proved that Air Defense Artillery was critical to the success of the campaign. Although Patriot Batteries placed strategically throughout Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel played a tremendous tactical role in these wars, High-Medium Air Defense (HIMAD) was not the only type of surface to air missile system in place to protect ground forces and valuable military assets. Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) units also deployed with the air defense units. These weapon systems, integrated with ground forces, provided air defense to dominate against aircraft and Tactical Ballistic Missiles (TBM) on the front lines.
At the July Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Conference, LTG Ostrowski, the Army Acquisition Executive Lead, conveyed the Army’s need for future network solutions. It was also shared in the FY16 Presidential Budget that the Army has several budget requests for Communications systems and upgrades totally over $1.2B (Keller, J. , 2015). This is an opportunity for the Comms BU to expand its customer base in the U.S. Army market place. Northrop Grumman was ranked in the Top 5 of Aerospace and Defense Companies in Forbes America’s Best Employers list (2017). They were ranked over larger companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. Their commitment to their employees, diversity, their customer and even the environment drives their culture. Northrop Grumman’s competitive advantage is leveraging the technology already developed and tested for the services (Air Force and Navy). Their experience with the Army is via services work where our people have gained the expertise to be the right people for working with the Missile Defense Agency. After analyzing both the internal and external environment of Northrop, their competitors and the analysis of their financial position, Northrop has developed a sustainable competitive advantage. They have done this through the use of product differentiation. The value they receive, the knowledge they gain and patents they own by acquiring other companies expands their portfolio to offer products and services not comparable to their competitors. Their respective strategic position establishes a value to their customers that is differentiated amongst their competitors, allowing them to offer a higher premium for their products and
-A monthly claim report lists all claims the insurance carrier has denied or not paid by the required time limits set by the state. It also has a listing of detailed information about the claim itself to better identify the exact claim listed. The monthly claim report is necessary for reimbursement because they must be sent to an auditing team to make sure the correct attention to the overdue claims so that they are paid and if not paid the provider should be send a notice on why the claim is not being paid or why the provider is going to be receiving a partial payment. This is called a remittance advice sent to the providers office so that they claim may be edited and resubmitted.

In this section we investigate attacks and threats to our primary devices. These attacks and threats are built off of the vulnerabilities the previous section and help to determine which security controls would be most valuable against future attacks.
If the whole world was blind you wouldn’t be able to impress a whole lot of people. It would be difficult to impress people that do not know what you are doing. The first impression is the important, because that’s how someone will think of you.
Each company or organization belongs to a market industry that includes three components, the remote environment, the industry environment and the operating environment. These factors impact the decisions that organizations make in order to provide the best services and products while maintaining a high profit for the company. Lockheed Martin is a multinational aerospace manufacturer and advanced technology company, formed in 1995 by the merger of Lockheed Corporation with Martin Marietta (Lockheed Martin, 2008). Lockheed Martin is affected by the macroeconomic environment, the economic decisions that the organization itself makes and the industry environment.
Q1. Congestions on the roads are a problem for traffic management. What policies will you advocate for reducing congestion on streets and highways? Are congestion charges or building a toll road /bridge a better strategy for addressing this issue? Also, how would you address equity issues in the light of congestion charges implementations? Ch 14
...sponsored terrorists, as well as from nuclear-capable countries, it is necessary that we have the ability to stop whatever comes our way and save the lives of thousands, if not millions, of American citizens. To do so, it was important that the new administration under George W. Bush take action to further our research and development in the area of anti-ballistic missile defense systems.
Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act of 1998 (EMTALA), health providers by law are supposed to follow the federal guidelines and the EMTALA when you work in an emergency medical care at certain hospitals (facilities that participate in Medicare-includes 98% of hospitals in the United States (U.S.)). This also means that any part of the hospital that can perform an evaluation and treatment of EMC is considered an ED., for example, a women's hospital that delivers babies is subject to EMTALA. As a health care professional under this law, you have to make sure that every person entering a hospital in need or requesting receives a medical screening examination (MSE), and an emergency medical condition (EMC) evaluation to determine
It was originally assumed that the SDI program was a virtually perfect defense against a large intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, attacks, which required very competent weapons. An ICBM has three levels of flight; the boost phase, the midcourse phase, and the terminal phase. With the SDI program, a space-based directed energy, or a laser, weapon would be used to destroy ICBM’s in the boost phase. Ground-based, space-based lasers or continental weapons could be used to destroy ICBM’s in midcourse, and ground-based beam weapons and missile interceptors could be used to destroy ICBM’s in the terminal phase. But as the goals of the program have evolved toward more realistic ambitions, the requirements for highly competent weapons diminished. Therefore, the initial focus on space-based directed energy weapons gradually shifted toward interest in ground-based kinetic energy weapons.
