02 May 13. Raytheon Company announced that two of its four businesses will have new headquarters locations. The decisions stem from the company consolidation announced March 25, 2013, intended to streamline operations, increase productivity and achieve stronger alignment with its customers’ priorities. Raytheon’s newly formed Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) business will establish its headquarters at the company’s existing Dulles, Va., hub operations in Sterling, Va. IIS provides a full range of ISR, navigation, weather, cybersecurity, training, logistics, mission support and engineering solutions for the intelligence community, government and commercial customers.
Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) business headquarters will transition from El Segundo, Calif., to McKinney, Texas, where the company already has a major business presence. Raytheon will maintain business operations in California, as well as in other states. SAS builds radars and other sensors for aircraft, spacecraft and ships; provides communications and electronic warfare solutions; and performs research in areas ranging from linguistics to quantum computing.
The headquarters of Raytheon’s Integrated Defense Systems and Missile Systems businesses remain in Tewksbury, Mass., and Tucson, Ariz., respectively.

30 Apr 13. FLIR doubling space in Howard County. FLIR Systems’ government-contracting arm is more than doubling its space in Howard County as it prepares to start assembling threat-detection devices. Gov. Martin O’Malley visited the company in late February to discuss concerns about the employment effect of the federal government’s sequestration budget cuts. Now, FLIR says, it feels more confident about expansion because funding for its programs is less uncertain. FLIR, based in Oregon, is moving within Elkridge from a 35,000-square-foot facility to an 80,000-square-foot location. The company has planned a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The Elkridge location employs just over 70 people, including FLIR contractors. Cullin said the company expects to hire more as work on Defense Department chemical, biological and nuclear hazard detection kits for service members shifts from engineering to production. That’s expected later this year, with full production probably starting next year, Cullin said. (Source: Open Source Information Report/Baltimore Sun)
