NAVIGATION AND LANDING SYSTEMS

Raytheon navigation and landing systems enhance the capabilities for all phases of flight in all types of environments. The FAA chose Raytheon as their prime contractor of the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS).

The FAA commissioned WAAS for operational use in the United States on July 10, 2003. It is a safety-critical system that enables the Global Positioning System (GPS) to meet air navigation performance and safety requirements for en route, terminal, non-precision approach and approach with vertical guidance operations.

The Raytheon Service Monitoring System (RSMS) provides Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and other users with the capability to independently monitor the real-time performance of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and its augmentation systems.
