Raytheon Wins Navy

Electronic Module Contracts

For A Total Of $4.1 Million

The U.S. Navy has awarded con- tracts to Raytheon Company to de- velop standard electronic modules for a variety of applications.

One is a $3.6 million contract with the Naval Systems Weapon

Center at Crane, Ind., for the devel- opment of a module foundry ser- vice. The 18-month effort will pro- vide a service that will enable gov- ernment contractors to design mod- ules to be manufactured at a

Raytheon facility. The module foundry service will feature an inte- grated computer-aided design (CAD) capability which will accelerate the manufacturing process.

The foundry will be instituted under the ARPA-sponsored Appli- cation-Specific Electronic Modules program which focuses on the rap- idly emerging module technology.

Raytheon will develop the capabil- ity to mount multi-chip electronic modules on the company's standard electronic modules, thereby improv- ing the company's competitive posi- tion with reference to future mod- ule programs.

Raytheon has also signed a $500,000 contract with the Naval

Avionics Weapons Center in India- napolis to develop a high-density gold connector for use on the next generation of standard electronic modules. Raytheon led a Raytheon-

Hughes Aircraft team that re- sponded successfully to the Navy's request for a proposal. The work for

Spanish Shipbuilder

Becomes ISO 9001 -Certified

Factorias Vulcano of Galicia,

Spain has reportedly become the first privately-owned shipbuilder in

Spain to qualify for ISO 9001 certi- fication. The certificate has been issued by Det Norske Veritas after the Galician firm passed the vari- ous stages involved. Only two other

Spanish shipbuilders have quali- fied, both state-owned.

The yard is currently building two large factory ships for Russia, part of an eight-ship order, as well as an ocean research and buoy ves- sel for Australia. All three ships are due for delivery by the second half of 1994.
