TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) received Aviation Week magazine's 2017 Program
Excellence award in the Special Projects category for its Immersive
Design Center, which features the CAVE virtual environment.
Raytheon's CAVE allows cross-functional teams of design and
manufacturing experts to immerse themselves in virtual reality
environments. Teams can collaborate on risk and cost
reduction solutions for design challenges using 3-D versions
of structures and parts that can be manipulated in real time.
Raytheon has located CAVEs at several of its sites, and has
significantly reduced design cycle times and cost through the use
of the advanced systems.
The Program Excellence awards honor global aerospace and defense
programs and projects, their leaders and their teams for going
beyond meeting requirements to exemplify the best in value
creation, leadership, adapting to complexity and executing with
excellence.
"Our Immersive Design Center has transformed the way we design
and manufacture," said Allen
Couture, Raytheon Missile Systems Operations vice
president. "We are maturing our designs earlier in the
process, allowing us to reduce cost and risk to programs."
Developed in 2004, the Aviation Week Program Excellence Awards
were created in response to repeated concerns about the complexity
and difficulty associated with managing and leading the aerospace
and defense programs that are the foundation of the industry.
