DULLES, Va., Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company's (NYSE: RTN) Dave
Wajsgras, president of Raytheon Intelligence, Information
and Services, last week was named WashingtonExec's 2019
Intelligence Industry Executive of the Year for transforming
the delivery of innovation to support the missions of the
Intelligence Community.
In total, the company won four key industry awards for its
leadership in using modern, commercial software development methods
and advanced data analytics to quickly deploy mission applications
and reduce the data to decision timeline for its government
customers.
"The use of commercial capabilities, automation and analytics is
providing a more effective way for the Intelligence Community to
answer complex questions and execute missions," said Wajsgras. "Our
solutions are directly enhancing the way the Intelligence Community
and our military carry out their critical objectives."
Over the past month, Raytheon also was awarded Aviation Week's
Program Excellence Award, Washington Technology's Industry
Innovator Award and Pivotal Software's Integrator Award for
Customer Collaboration in the Public Sector for the company's use
of DevOps in the U.S. Air Force's global Air Operations Centers, or
AOCs.
AOCs are global command and control hubs where the Air Force
directs regional air operations. Raytheon was awarded a contract by
the Air Force in 2017 to help modernize the AOCs by building a
software and hardware framework that would allow for new mission
applications to be quickly coded and deployed.
"Our military customers need access to the most advanced
technology as quickly as possible," said Todd Probert, vice president, Raytheon IIS. "By
combining commercial software development methods with our deep
understanding of the government's missions, we've been able to put
new capabilities into the hands of our customers almost as quickly
as they can ask for them."
Over the past two years, Raytheon has developed and deployed new
applications for the Air Force in as little as 135 days. Twenty of
these apps are saving more than $13
million and thousands of man-hours per month on tasks that
were previously done manually at the AOCs.
