GARLAND, Texas, July 5, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- Two Raytheon Company
(NYSE: RTN) sites have been awarded the 2007 James S. Cogswell Outstanding
Industrial Security Achievement Award from the Defense Security Service
(DSS).
Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems facilities in Aurora,
Colo., and State College, Pa., were selected by DSS.
Established in 1966, the Cogswell Award is the highest honor that the
DSS bestows upon cleared facilities. Of the nearly 12,000 cleared
contractors in the United States, less than one percent receives the award
each year.
"The Cogswell Award is a tremendous honor and is the culmination of
focused achievement and embedded partnership between Raytheon employees,
management, and industrial security," said IIS President Mike Keebaugh. He
added, "We are honored to once again receive this coveted award; it
emphasizes our commitment to help government accomplish security objectives
that ultimately benefit them."
According to the DSS, the Cogswell Award selection process is rigorous.
A contractor qualifies for the nomination only after achieving two
consecutive years of superior inspection ratings and by demonstrating the
highest level of excellence and innovation in the management and
implementation of its security structure.
In addition to the 2007 honor, Raytheon has received additional
Cogswell Awards during the last four years:
-- 2006: Network Centric Systems, McKinney, Texas
-- 2005: Raytheon Missile Systems, Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
-- 2004: Intelligence and Information Systems, Aurora, Col.
-- 2004: Intelligence and Information Systems, Huntsville, Ala.
