Inside the World’s Most Advanced Radar Factory

Raytheon's Spy 6 radar is the most advanced radar technology in production today , and it goes by the name Spy 6 .

The SPY 6 technology drastically increases the Navy 's air and missile defense capabilities.

Spy 6 technology can be installed on nearly fifty U.S. Navy ships over the next 10 years .

In 1945 , a Raytheon engineer by the name of Percy Spencer was working on a military grade vacuum called the Magnetron when he noticed that the peanut Cluster snack bar in his pocket had melted.

Percy decided to try another experiment, this time he noticed the kernels popped into a fluffy popcorn.

Percy 's invention can now be found in 90% of American households.

Spy 6 is already being installed on Navy ships as we speak.

This is where the radar gets tested with the latest tactical software.

When it leaves here, it's got a large 60 by 40 scanner that moves up and down and a crop back and forth to be able to test each individual RMA at a time.

I think this is probably the coolest room I've ever been in.
