MARLBOROUGH, Mass., May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN)
has been awarded a $59 million contract for work on the Cooperative
Engagement Capability (CEC) program. The Naval Inventory Control Point
contract provides for logistics support for CEC USG-2 shipboard equipment

different manner. It pools high quality tracking data from participating

sensor data available that provides early detection and more consistent
tracking of air contacts. Work on the contract will be performed at
Raytheon facilities in St Petersburg and Largo, Fla.
