 CorpWatch : US: The "Patriots" at Raytheon
Raytheon Corporation has recently become known throughout the United States as an outstanding defender of democracy thanks to its Patriot missile, which has attracted so much media attention for its role in the Persian Gulf War.
Nevertheless, Raytheon and the Bush administration have been quick to hype the Patriot as a great success story in order to build support for continued government expenditures on high-tech weaponry and to certify that the world's largest peacetime military buildup was not in vain.
Raytheon disputed the certification of the election by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on a frivolous charge that the certification was "improper." In November 1990, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld an NLRB ruling that found Raytheon in violation of U.S. Labor law.

 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Raytheon was instructed to revise the specification to reflect the new stall warning configuration.
Raytheon has shown that the government was well aware that certain requirements it insisted on (increase in gross weight and change in power plants) compromised the design to some extent, especially in the area of stalls and stall warnings, but that after testing the government determined that it could live with those compromises.
The Court is satisfied that Raytheon is entitled to government contractor immunity as a matter of law on the issue of design defect, and that Raytheon is accordingly entitled to summary judgment on this aspect of Plaintiffs' case.

Raytheon Corporation was in the transistor radio business for one single year, knowing that the real money is where the missiles are.
