Teen solves centuries-old math problem
DOWNEY, Calif., Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A center for public safety technologies and research is being opened in California next week by Raytheon, the company announced.
The center is Downey, Calif., in southeastern Los Angeles County.
"As a premier systems integrator, Raytheon is constantly partnering with public safety agencies to bring new capabilities and new partners," said Daniel J. Crowley, president of Raytheon's Network Centric Systems business.
"We are committed to standards-based, open architecture solutions that allow technologies and devices to operate with others in a unified approach.
"Agencies with stand-alone devices and systems are often hampered in their ability to operate at peak efficiency. With Raytheon's leadership in the marketplace offering interoperable solutions and integration expertise, we can build one cohesive system with many legacy and modern devices."
Raytheon said a number of demonstrations will be conducted as part of the opening ceremony. Among the technologies that will be shown are: vendor-neutral communications networks that allow first responders to connect their existing systems with the latest technologies; a shooter detection system that helps law enforcement locate the source of a firearm discharge, and a search-and-rescue tool capable of cutting through a reinforced concrete wall faster than with traditional methods.
