The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has awarded two contracts to Raytheon totaling more than $100 million. The awarded contracts include a multi-year contract to Raytheon to continue to provide technical, training and logistics support from 2007 through 2009 for the Kingdom's Patriot and Hawk air defense systems. The other is a contract extension to provide local support services for 2007.

"Raytheon is proud to continue to extend support services to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through these contracts," said Otis Hopkins, Raytheon's general manager in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Patriot is a combat-proven air and missile defense system capable of simultaneously engaging and destroying threat aircraft, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and tactical ballistic missiles. Complementing the Patriot system, the Hawk system provides robust low-to-medium altitude air defense against a wide range of air-breathing threats including cruise missiles.

Integrated Defense Systems is Raytheon's leader in Joint Battlespace Integration providing affordable, integrated solutions to a broad international and domestic customer base, including the U.S. Missile Defense Agency, the U.S. Armed Forces and the Department of Homeland Security.

Clemson Physicist Addresses International Forum On Thermoelectric Energy

Clemson SC (SPX) Oct 04, 2007
Energy lost from hot engines could save billions of dollars if it could be captured and converted into electricity via thermoelectric devices, Clemson University physicist Terry Tritt told scientists gathered in Dallas for the world-renowned NanoTX '07 conference. "Thermoelectric generators are currently used in NASA's deep-space probes to convert the heat of radioactive elements to electrical energy, powering these systems for over 30 years," Tritt said.
