Raytheon to showcase public safety technologies at new California research facility

Raytheon Company next week will dedicate one of the largest public safety technology and research centers in Southern California. It will house solutions that public safety agencies can use for day-to-day operations and responses to major incidents. Some of the technologies include vendor-neutral communications networks that let first responders connect their existing systems with the latest technologies in both Land Mobile Radios and Long-Term Evolution 4-G broadband solutions, a military combat-proven shooter detection system that helps law enforcement immediately locate the source of firearms being discharged and a search-and-rescue tool capable of cutting through a reinforced concrete wall up to four times faster than with traditional methods such as drilling, chipping or sawing.
