Raytheon Glenrothes hosts Harriett Baldwin Minister for Defence Procurement Message from the Chief Executive

As Britain seeks to redefine its place in the world post-Brexit, it is critical to our future security and prosperity that we continue to work closely with our allies. This means that we must work better together on development programmes which can add value to the UK economy, whilst also saving our UK and export customers money. It also means that we should seek opportunities for further integration on military Stephen Doran, Director of Operations and Transformation (far left) and Director of operations with allies, particularly in the critical area Business Development and Strategy Dean Mason (far right) introduce Harriett Baldwin, of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance where Minister for Defence Procurement (middle, left) to Raytheon UK STEM Ambassadors. capabilities can be harmonised.

OVERSEER™ — MULTI-MISSION ISR CAPABILITY The future of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance airborne solutions is in multi- mission platform capability — platforms that are not dedicated to single sensors or single capabilities, but which overlay intelligence from multiple sensors. This blends capabilities to give the decision maker a comprehensive view of the battlespace. Airborne ISR provides a critical role in delivering timely, relevant and assured intelligence to decision makers. In order to address this need, Raytheon is developing, manufacturing, delivering and supporting Multi-Mission Aircraft (MMA) solutions. MMA encompass a range of sensors and communications systems which enable the operator to: Collect data and information; process it to generate intelligence with corroboration across multiple sources; and to disseminate this in a timely manner. At the heart of any MMA is a highly capable, intuitive and flexible mission system and Raytheon has developed Overseer™ to address this requirement. Overseer couples next generation, open-architecture software technologies and techniques with a comprehensive understanding of the operational need. This builds on engineering expertise in Airborne ISR developed through the design, manufacture and support of the RAF Sentinel R Mk1, RAF Shadow R Mk1 and other international customers. The system enables operators to configure the workstation to their individual preferences, with an emphasis on delivering and filtering the data and information they need to perform their task. This data can be drawn from multiple sensors on a single platform and from across a multi-platform enterprise to maximise the situational awareness of the user. Overseer has been developed to readily integrate sensors and other systems enabling Raytheon to deliver timely, cost-effective Airborne ISR capabilities to its customers, both in new programmes and in support of upgrade programmes. A comprehensive flexible solution, the system delivers significant capability to operators and the engineers who integrate them.
