This presentation was created for the SATURN conference series and does not necessarily reflect the positions and views of the Software Engineering Institute.

Raytheon began an "architecture journey" several years ago to institutionalize architecture as a formal practice throughout the company. Corporate Engineering's senior leadership defined a vision to address a set of software, systems, and enterprise architecture needs across Raytheon's multiple business areas.

Since then, Raytheon has enhanced its architecture competencies through a variety of corporate initiatives including:

• Establishing a corporate Architecture Review Board (ARB)
• Establishing a company-wide, standardized architecting process
• Definition and deployment of an architecture training program
• Definition and deployment of an internal Raytheon Certified Architect Program (RCAP)
• Participation in external architect certification programs
• Development of reference architectures
• In-depth analyses of the latest architecture tools
• Establishing a corporately accessible architecture repository
• Establishing company-wide, architecture-centric Technical Interest Groups (TIGs)
• Collaborations with academic, industry and government organizations
