The collaboration will allow Raytheon to identify initiatives for scalable cloud based solutions using AWS artificial intelligence and machine learning services. Raytheon said it will use AWS to help customers lower mission costs, improve programme flexibility, and speed the delivery of operational capabilities.
“Our customers rely on Raytheon to solve their most complex problems across space, data processing, command and control, and mission management functions,” said Erich Hernandez-Baquero, vice president of Space Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance at Raytheon. He added: “This collaboration with AWS empowers our teams to accelerate responsible AI innovation, increase agility while maintaining the highest levels of security, optimize resources, and strengthen systems to drive effective results for our customers.”
David Appel, vice president of U.S. Federal at Amazon Web Services, said: “This collaboration unites the security, reliability, and higher levels of availability from AWS with Raytheon’s space systems expertise to create new possibilities for our customers in the space industry.” He said: “This relationship embodies our customer-obsessed approach, driving innovations that boost mission performance, cost efficiency, and operational agility. Together, we’re propelling space technology forward, ensuring our customers maintain their competitive edge in this critical domain.”
Raytheon and AWS are now actively executing programmes for government and commercial customers under the agreement.
