Speed isn't just about building hardware faster. It's about delivering the software that keeps mission-critical systems operating at their best. At Raytheon, we're accelerating software delivery to the US Navy through a dedicated software factory that automates testing, cybersecurity evaluations and validation throughout the development process. As developers create code, it moves through an automated pipeline designed to identify issues early, reduce manual validation requirements and accelerate delivery to the fleet. The result? Faster, more efficient software updates that save both time and resources while helping sailors maintain a technological edge. Because in today's battlespace, delivering capability at the speed of relevance can make all the difference. For platforms like the Zumwalt-class destroyer, where software helps power everything from navigation and weapons systems to ship operations, rapid and reliable updates are essential to maintaining readiness and adaptability in an evolving threat environment.
