A Chip in Hand

摘要

In an effort to exploit leading-edge technologies that could complement its own, Raytheon will be working hand-in-hand with IBM for the next five years to design custom semiconductors and systems for a broad range of military applications. The strategic relationship is meant to augment Raytheon's expertise in defense electronics with IBM's know-how in such closely related areas as chip manufacturing, software development, large systems computer architecture and network integration. The two companies are creating a project office to oversee contractual engagements and potential joint initiatives.
