Raytheon Hosts Industry Debate at IMechE

One of the key stated aims of the UK Government is to rebalance the economy away from financial services and to drive growth through exports. While Aerospace business is deemed as being essential to this, there has been a significant decline in the UK’s industrial capability in recent years in aerospace and also in defence. With this in mind, how can the UK maintain leadership in Aerospace manufacturing?

This challenging question was posed in an industry panel debate and Q&A session hosted by Raytheon UK at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) in London on 3 December 2012.

Chaired by Emma Reynolds, Labour MP for Wolverhampton North East and chair of the recently re-established All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Aerospace, Raytheon’s 75 invited guests heard the views of a panel of

speakers selected from Parliament and well respected organisations in the aerospace manufacturing sector that included: Bob Delorge, chief executive, Raytheon UK; Simon Luxmoore, chief executive, Royal Aeronautical Society; Tom Williams CBE, executive vice president of Programmes, Airbus UK; Howard Wheeldon, former director of Policy and Public Affairs, ADS; and Conservative MP for Wycombe Steve Baker, who is also the vice chair of the APPG on Aerospace.

In the present business climate of declining government defence spending and rising global competition, the debate enabled Raytheon to raise the profile of issues in the UK aerospace arena and discuss the challenges facing UK manufacturing in the current marketplace with industry colleagues.

IN AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING

Technology Transfer & Diversification

Bob Delorge initiated the discussion by explaining how Raytheon UK benefits from technology transfer and diversification through its US parent, and from leveraging existing regional infrastructure. He also pressed the importance of apprenticeships, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) and Raytheon’s educational partnerships with universities in the areas of advanced electronics, cyber security and defence intelligence.

“Aerospace in my view is the zenith of advanced manufacturing: sustaining highly skilled engineers, generating economic value from international trade and flowing out cutting-edge technologies to other industries,” said Delorge, who also touched upon government policy, skills shortage and skills maintenance, new investment into the UK and innovation.

No Right of Leadership

The debate encompassed all the key elements required to support the UK’s goal to remain a globally competitive player in aerospace manufacturing. However, Simon Luxmoore, chief executive of the Royal Aeronautical Society, cautioned: “A world-leading aviation industry has to be earned, by being not only world-class, but by differentiation and by investing in partnerships.”

Luxmoore said: “This is a global marketplace in which we operate and, whilst recognising the exceptional capabilities of UK companies today, there is no ‘right of leadership’; the ability to be world-class will determine the future positioning of the UK in global aerospace manufacturing.”

Skills & Talent

The requirement for skills in the aerospace sector in the coming years and existing shortfall to those requirements was acknowledged by both politicians and industrialists alike. Each welcomed the many initiatives that are being pursued by both camps to encourage individuals, particularly the young, to follow a career in the aerospace industry.

Luxmoore described the extensive collaborative work that the Royal Aeronautical Society is doing with its student junior members and with universities, and was confident this would reap benefits: “The material talent is out there,” said Luxmoore. “[In 2009] we had 3,000 student members, today we have 6,000. Three years ago, we had 220 students attend our careers fair, in 2012 we had 840...there are young people who are hugely attracted to our industry.”

“A world-leading aviation industry has to be earned, by being not only world class, but by differentiation and by investing in partnerships.” Simon Luxmoore

“I think this is still an excellent place to do business ...and I am still hopeful for the UK aerospace industry, what it means for us and for our futures.” Steve Baker MP

“Britain’s manufacturers are certainly lean and mean , but they cannot afford to sit on their laurels whilst other EU countries are preparing to challenge the lead.“ Howard Wheeldon

MAINTAINING LEADERSHIP

UKnews - Spring 2013 Spring 2013 - UKnews

However, Steve Baker MP cautioned: “We must have people with appropriate skills, and we must nurture and encourage them to study those technical subjects.” He added that if that “interest, commitment and passion” is not captured “they’ll go elsewhere”, lured by the higher capital investment and expenditure, and higher salaries to be found in sectors such as Finance and IT.

It was a concern echoed by Tom Williams, executive vice president of Programmes at Airbus, having seen unfilled places on the Airbus apprentice scheme due to a number of applicants not achieving the appropriate grades in maths and science, and Airbus refusing to drop its standards.

Government Relations & Capital Investment

So what should government do? Baker agrees that government must firstly tackle the skills shortage, although acknowledged that it had made some headway in the areas of universities, apprenticeships and schools.

On capital investment, Baker said he was glad that the government is putting money into aerodynamics to help the industry maintain its leadership. He called for greater diplomacy on free-trading and supply chains, not merely in terms of tariffs, but also in terms of government procurement around the world. Britain’s greatest export, he said, was its rule of law: “I think this is still an excellent place to do business ...and I am still hopeful for the UK aerospace industry, what it means for us and for our futures.”

Howard Wheeldon, the former director of Policy and Public Affairs at ADS, said that while we may be getting many things right, there remain many aspects that require urgent attention. He cited among these, “access to finance for small and mid-cap companies, attitudes towards venture capital, and the current lamentable government approach towards long-term science and technology investment, plus tax incentives for investment in the supply chain”.

Trust and relationships between government and industry, and sustainability of policy, will be vital to maintaining leadership in aerospace manufacturing, he said, adding, “Britain’s manufacturers are certainly lean and mean, but they cannot afford to sit on their laurels whilst other EU countries are preparing to challenge the lead.” �Join the Debate: www.raytheon.co.uk/newsroom/featurestories/flight_plan/index.html

Exploiting Global Markets

Bob Delorge, chief executive, Raytheon UK, said that the investment in the foundry set the company on a journey to exploit new global markets estimated to bring significant new business to Raytheon in Scotland in the coming years:

“This technology will deliver major benefits, not only in the aerospace sector, but also in the automotive and oil and gas industries, as well as other sectors. This will enable us to keep growing a great business that is expanding its horizons outside of its existing markets.

Growth stems from innovation, our ability to produce new ideas, technologies and manufacturing capabilities... as well as employing industry-leading engineers and scientists, we have made substantial commitments to develop new engineering talent to maintain our technological edge in high temperature silicon carbide.

Impact on the Economy

Lindsay Roy, MP for Glenrothes, praised Raytheon’s impact on the Scottish economy and employment market. He said that “Raytheon’s success in Glenrothes hasn’t happened by accident, it has happened by

design... Raytheon has a reputation for being in the vanguard of the development of cutting-edge technology, and Raytheon has a unique ability to translate good ideas into effective practice.”

Echoing the Secretary of State’s comments, he highlighted Raytheon’s “tremendous investment in people”, its “collaboration with academia, Scottish Enterprise and UK government“, its “dedicated workforce who are committed to success” and its “outstanding leadership and teamwork”.

FOUNDRY OPENING The UK’s First Silicon Carbide Foundry

Raytheon UK’s new silicon carbide manufacturing foundry facility in Glenrothes ‘opened for business’ on 31 January with an exclusive tour attended by members of parliament, academia, trade and industry.

Developed through several years’ research into advanced manufacturing processes and materials science, the application of silicon carbide in electronic systems will place Raytheon UK in a leading position to develop next-generation, high-efficiency, smaller, low-weight power conversion products used in harsh environments across the automotive, aerospace, geothermal explorations, oil and gas, and clean energy sectors.

Raytheon’s £3.5 million plus investment in the foundry has been supported by the government’s Technology Strategy Board.

The Secretary of State for Scotland, the Rt Hon Michael Moore, who officially opened the facility, described Raytheon as “one of the UK’s consistent technology leaders at the forefront of breakthrough technology” and also paid tribute to Raytheon’s collaboration with universities in the development of the technology and taking it to market. He said: “It is amazing to be here and to be looking at the development of a new material that not only helps you to service your own existing clients, but has such exciting potential to develop your markets elsewhere... and where we can support you in developing those markets we’d be keen to do it.”

He added: “I don’t think it’s any accident that the [Raytheon Glenrothes] facility continues to excel and, given your track record to date, [and] what you’re achieving and marking today, I am confident that’s going to continue for many years to come.”

Growth stems from innovation, our ability to produce new ideas, technologies and

manufacturing capabilities... as well as employing industry-leading engineers and scientists, we have

made substantial commitments to develop new engineering talent to maintain our technological

edge in high temperature silicon carbide.Bob Delorge, Chief Executive, Raytheon UK.

Raytheon Hi-Temp SiC Leads the WayRaytheon is the first company to have successfully tested silicon carbide (SiC) mixed signal devices at temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius at its technology facility in Glenrothes, Scotland.

High-temperature integrated circuits are desirable in applications such as aero engines, monitoring engine performance in the heart of the engine, or in deep hydrocarbon and geothermal drilling applications where operation interruption to replace sensor technology is a constant cost pressure. As SiC power-discrete devices proliferate, there is a growing need for more control functions capable of operating in the same temperature and power management conditions, without heat dissipation constraints.

These results show that SiC complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor, fabricated on 4H SiC wafers, can be used to create the essential circuit building blocks required for logic and analogue functions together on the same chip, which can operate in the harsh environments that customers demand.

A “see through” image of a gas turbine engine shows the current locations for temperature measurement electronics (red circles). SiC technology enables the electronics to be mounted closer to the hot engine exhaust. This improves exhaust temperature measurement accuracy — and better accuracy results in improved engine efficiency.

Recognising Employee Excellence

One of Raytheon’s core values is its people, and part of that is recognising and rewarding employees’ accomplishments.

Innovation ExcellenceAndrew Mitchell, Lead System Engineer, was shortlisted as a UK finalist for Raytheon’s Innovation Challenge Awards for his SafeRoute Autonomous System design, which involves perimeter surveillance and route clearance.

Employees Recognised in EDGE Great Ideas CompetitionStephen McAndrew (pictured left, far right) won Raytheon UK’s 2012 improvement process ideas contest. His winning idea was a proposal for improving company-wide visibility of the ‘Cost of Quality’, through the use of dynamic and attention grabbing metrics. Meanwhile, the judges decided Jenni Doonan’s (pictured left, middle) idea to improve the aesthetic working environment at Glenrothes to reflect our modern culture was so well researched she deserved special recognition.

CAST Supports Ex Urban Warrior DemoRaytheon’s Warminster-based Command and Staff Trainer (CAST) team members (pictured left) were instrumental in helping the Ministry of Defence carry out its largest simulation exercise to date involving 200 plus troops using new gaming technology.

Investing in People, Skills and InnovationScottish Enterprise’s Director of Company Growth Linda Hanna described Raytheon as a living case study of how you grow a business organisation. Congratulating the company’s approach to business collaboration, she said: “You’ve built on your legacy of the things that you do really well – your co-competence – but you’ve absolutely reinvented yourselves. You’ve looked at the markets, you’ve looked at where there are opportunities and you’ve seen where you could add value and that’s innovation... we’re delighted to have worked with you as you continue to take that vision into reality.”

Exponential Future GrowthPhil Mawby, Professor of Power Electronics at Warwick University’s School of Engineering, one of the academic institutions whose expertise has helped in the development of high temperature silicon carbide, said that the projected growth for the market was exponential: “The semiconductor market is approximately $300 billion per year and around ten per cent of that is in [the area of] controlling electrical power. Silicon carbide would probably aim to get 10-20 per cent of that market and [that] is probably going to be £1 billion worth of revenue in the next five years.”

Why is this Important for UK Manufacturing? If the investment doesn’t happen here, it will happen elsewhere. And as Mawby asserts, “it’s really key that we capture the lead, the knowledge and the expertise that we have here [in the UK] and make sure that we can compete fairly on an international scale.”�

Q&A with Katie Goodall, Project Lead for Raytheon’s Graduate Leadership Development Programme Web Refresh

What new features can be found on the site?

The new graduate section of the Raytheon UK recruitment website features video interviews, profiles on our current graduates, and information regarding each of the business functions. We also introduced a range of videos to the site, which we hope improves the level of engagement a graduate has when visiting the site.

How has it improved the graduate recruitment process?

One of the best features we added to the new website was an interactive ‘Apply Now’ button. Once a profile and login has been generated, applicants can use this to apply for multiple roles, and also keep their details up to date. Since incorporating this function, we have received more than 1,100 graduate applications to the online tracking system, compared to just over 200 without this feature. This makes the recruitment process far easier for graduates, as well as reducing our administration time and costs.

How can graduates apply for a role on Raytheon’s Graduate Programme?

Graduates can log on to the graduate recruitment page at www.raytheon.co.uk/careers/graduaterecruiting/index.html and submit their CV through the online system. After an initial screening to ensure applicants have the relevant qualifications and experience, candidates will be invited to an online telephone interview. Applicants will then go on to complete an online psychometric test before being invited to an assessment centre. Those who are successful at the assessment centre will be offered a role with Raytheon and the opportunity to start an exciting career with us. �
