Raytheon Company says it is displaying a number of its space

Colorado Springs.
The company says there are three key areas in which it supports

technologies being demonstrated are Space Fence, which provides
space situational awareness; the Joint Polar Satellite System
Common Ground System; the Global Positioning System Advanced
Control Segment; VIIRS (Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite)
next-generation environmental monitoring system; the Responder
rapidly deployable space payload; hyperspectral imaging from space;
and Rapid Thunder mission support.
Sponsored by the Space Foundation, National Space Symposium is
the premier gathering of the global space community, with
participants from the civil, commercial and national security
sectors of the space industry.
As part of the company's sponsorship of the James E. Hill
Lifetime Achievement Award Luncheon, Lynn Dugle, president of
Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems (IIS), addressed
attendees and speak to Raytheon's capabilities in the space
arena.
Steve Hawkins, vice president, IIS Information Security
Solutions, participated on "The Human Dimension of Cybersecurity"
panel during the symposium's Cyber 1.1 event. Lynn Mortensen, vice
president, IIS Engineering, was tapped as a member of the
"Education and the Bottom Line" panel.
And former NASA astronauts Danny Olivas and Don McMonagle, now
