TEWKSBURY, Mass., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. company Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems has formed a new Seapower Capability Systems unit.
The new unit will "provide solutions for domestic and international navy customers," Raytheon said in a statement Monday.
"As we strive for excellence and expand our markets, it is important that we organize our strengths and unique capabilities to best serve our stakeholders in this highly competitive environment," said Dan Smith, president of Raytheon IDS. "It is critical that our organizational structure effectively enables our efforts to provide the best possible solutions to our war fighters and maximizes our value to our shareholders."
"Seapower Capability Systems was formed by consolidating two former IDS naval business areas. Seapower Capability Systems business will be headquartered at IDS' Maritime Mission Center, Portsmouth, R.I.," Raytheon said.
"Appointed to lead Seapower Capability Systems is Charles 'Tom' Bush. Bush had been IDS' executive director for Joint War fighting, responsible for integrating the war fighter's perspective into technology solutions. Prior to joining Raytheon in 2005, Bush had a distinguished career in the U.S. Navy, retiring as a rear admiral," the company said.
"Robert Martin has been appointed as Bush's deputy. Previously, Martin led the Zumwalt National Team -- Software that focused across multiple locations and partners on execution, customer intimacy, staff development and long-term business growth," the company said.
"As part of this consolidation, Upinder Dhinsa has been appointed vice president of Strategic WIN Initiatives. In this role, Dhinsa will organize and lead the development of emerging strategic initiatives for IDS. Dhinsa had been vice president for IDS' Maritime Mission Systems business area," Raytheon said.
Raytheon said its Integrated Defense Systems organization was the company's "leader in Joint Battle-space 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."
