MCKINNEY, Texas, Oct. 3, 2006 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company's
facilities in North Texas were awarded the James S. Cogswell Award for
outstanding industrial security achievement by the Defense Security Service
(DSS), an agency of the Department of Defense charged with overseeing the
national industrial security program.
The award was presented today to Colin Schottlaender, president of
Raytheon's Network Centric Systems (NCS), by Patricia Dotson, DSS regional
director, at NCS' McKinney, Texas, headquarters.
"Our commitment to national security and Mission Assurance is second to
none," said Schottlaender. "This award validates our absolute commitment to
secure the information that helps protect the lives of American
warfighters. It's an honor to accept the Cogswell Award on behalf of the
men and women of Raytheon who work in the North Texas area."
Of the nearly 11,000 contractor organizations with appropriate security
clearance levels, less than one tenth of one percent are selected to
receive this prestigious DSS award. It is presented each year and
recognizes consistent superior security ratings and sustained excellence in
overall security program management, implementation and oversight.
The Cogswell Award was established in 1966 and named in honor of the
late Air Force Col. James S. Cogswell, first chief of the unified office of
industrial security.
