Because I work for Raytheon. It's a long story but to make it as short as possible. In 1997, Raytheon bought several defense companies, Texas Instruments where I was working at the time, Hughes Aircraft, and several more that I can't recall. TI had a facility called the Missile Factory in Texas which was moved to Tucson, the home of Raytheon missile works and took programs such as HARM, Paveway, Javelin, Tow, and more I don't remember. They moved missiles from Hughes such as Maverick, Sidewinder, AMRAAM, and more.
When these programs left, they then became Raytheon with very little mention of having been Hughes and TI engineered and produced.
