Tewksbury MA (SPX) Feb 08, 2008
Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems delivered the first advanced sports utility vehicle-based radiation detection system to the Department of Homeland Security's Domestic Nuclear Detection Office. The successful delivery of this system will allow DNDO to operate in urban environments and will enhance border security and national defense by preventing the smuggling of nuclear materials through ports of entry.

"This is a tremendous result by our Raytheon-led team in a very rapid response to an urgent and critical homeland security need," said Mary Petryszyn, vice president of Civil Security and Response Programs. "We are proud to support the Department of Homeland Security's mission of protecting America."

With this delivery Raytheon maintains its position as a homeland security solutions provider, with award-winning manufacturing capability and a highly skilled workforce that can provide proven, affordable technical solutions on time and on budget.
