The company was formed by three former Analog Devices engineers to replace silicon in semiconductors with a low-power gallium arsenide concoction that TRW once used to pass reams of top-secret data through satellites.
An alternative "baseline algorithm" approach developed by TRW that does not appear to have the sorts of problems said to be associated with the "extractor" is being preserved as a back-up in case the Raytheon kill vehicle ultimately proves unworkable.
The Electronic Systems business of Northrop Grumman coalesced from a series transactions that acquired parts of Westinghouse, Teledyne, L ITTon Industries and TRW. Raytheon grew to its current prominence by acquiring the old Hughes Electronics and parts of Texas Instruments.
