Raytheon Program Selected as One of the DoD's Top 5 Programs
    GARLAND, Texas, Dec. 1, 2006 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company's (NYSE:
RTN) Mission Integration and Development (MIND) program was recently
selected as one of the Department of Defense's (DoD) Top 5 Program Award
recipients.
    The MIND program team was selected for the strong processes and
oversight related to overall program management and engineering of its
development, integration, operation, and maintenance of the National
Reconnaissance Office's (NRO) future architecture. The selection committee
was composed of government and industry judges.
    "The MIND program continues to have a strong partnership with the NRO
in meeting programmatic and technical objectives," said Jane Chappell, vice
president of Strategic Intelligence Systems for Raytheon's Intelligence and
Information System business. "We continue to provide the NRO a key
technology enabler for its strategic framework."
    The National Defense Industrial Association presented the Top 5 DoD
Program Award to Raytheon and the NRO MIND team at the association's annual
Systems Engineering Conference in San Diego Oct. 25. The MIND contract was
awarded to Raytheon and an industry team in April 1999.

operations. Centaur gives the battlefield commander immediate access to
