Raytheon and the Estonian Ministry of Defense have reached an agreement to explore long-term collaboration in cyber security, the company announced on 30 March.
The company agreed on the arrangement with Mikk Marran, permanent secretary of the ministry, during his recent visit to Washington, DC for talks on issues of bilateral defence cooperation. Tom Vecchiolla, president, Raytheon International, met to discuss the arrangement with Marran.
Ministry representatives and Raytheon executives will meet in Tallinn, Estonia to further define the specific areas for cooperation. Initial efforts will focus on collaborative initiatives and industry partnerships to enhance the defence capabilities of Estonia.
Marran said: 'Strong defence-industrial cooperation between the US and Estonia is in our country's strategic interest.
'Raytheon is one of the most prominent global defence and aerospace companies, with expertise in providing integrated defence systems and state-of-the-art cyber security solutions. It's our privilege to collaborate with Raytheon Company.'

'This collaboration will explore important new solutions within the critical domain of national cyber security.'
Vecchiolla said: 'Combining Estonia's world class information technology infrastructure with Raytheon's cyber security expertise will result in new opportunities to address the most challenging cyber threats on a global scale. We anticipate significant and synergistic benefits through this unique collaboration.'
