Raytheon's technology appears to have nearly caught up to modern sci-fi portrayals of the future in some aspects, with humans and robots working in tandem, massive holographic projector rooms, 3-D laser scan mapping, and rooms full of instruments reaching out to the horizon; I don't think even NASA has this much tech crammed into one building.
Very interesting Sam! I was a trained system technician on the HAWK-system, made by Raytheon, and I am also a stock owner of Raytheon, so it was with great pleasure I saw your entertaining video. What else I would like to see? On my list there are: Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Honeywell, and should you go to the UK I would like to see similar videos from BAE. Your lastname sounds Swedish by the way. I'm from Sweden. Thanks again for your videos!
Awesome Sam, always next level production and vids! You at the 'Creation Station' are already at SPY-7 level. Still trying to wrap my head around a 1.7M sq ft facility, you'd need a helicopter or hover craft to get from one side to the other.....or is that your next vid? Always keepin it exciting Sam, Thanks! 😎
Thanks to all American Taxpayers for their trillions of dollars stolen I mean graciously donated to the American Government and then given to these war machine defense contractors.
When I was a student at BU I interned at this facility. I loved it, they told me to find another career. I stayed in engineering but in network design, RADAR is a tough field.
I'm guessing that they have so much more sophisticated things that in no way would they be able to allow you to even know about. Thanks for this video as it helps me feel comfortable knowing the US has so much more scientifically advanced technology in use and development to assure the citizens and military safety beyond our comprehension!
Had to watch and comment on this being a former Marine counter mortar radar repairman. AN/TPQ-31, AN/MPQ-4, and NASA AN/FPQ-6. None of those are phased array like the SPY. It’s been a crazy ride and hopefully next year I’ll be able to retire as a traffic signal technician.
Sam, thx, been in Radar since ‘72 … 20+ years Air Force Tech then in an ElectroMagnetic R & D Lab at OSU ‘94 to ‘16, where I built (not designed) High Tech Radar Systems in support of Anechoic Chambers around the US & world. Thus my moniker RADARMAN … 2 interesting careers Thx again CJ Moncrief, USAF (ret) OSU ET-3 (ret)
Hi Sam, new subscriber here, I noticed the suggested video and then saw that you have many other interesting videos that probably also have high quality content. I appreciate your work, thanks! (p.s. I think Chinese anti-satellite systems might be an interesting topic, if someone could bravely step up to the plate, so to speak :-) )
THANK'S SAM ,, GREAT VIDEO!! AND INFO. WE LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S MY SON AND I LEARN ALOT .. THE MILITARY HAS CHANGED A LOT SINCE THE 70- 80S FOR ME I WAS ARMY ..
I joined the Air Force National Guard in 2021 for cyber transport. Then this year I was offered to work on the Navy’s Aegis weapon defense system as an engineer. If it wasn’t for joining the military, it really skyrocketed my career. Thank you armed services!
back in 2005ish I think I was working as a sprinkler fitter. we got a job at BAE in Nashua Nh moving some sprinkler heads. at the time they were working on stuff for the f22 Raptor. so we were escorted to where we were working and had to pass background checks. it waa crazy. so Raython and BAE Systems are for sure cool places
Sam, love the Chanel. If your ever really, really bored and what some insight into what the Air Force was like in the 70’s just after Vietnam I have some stories to tell. All of them pretty much untold except for my wife of 41 years and even then not all of it.
This is cool but if you ever visit the UK and want to see the next generation of radars being built at BAE (microwave quantum illumination radars) let me know.
There's nothing to see that gives away crucial information, all the important details are in the integrated circuits and in the algorithms, neither being visible when you walk past it with a camera.
I watched your apartment tour a year ago and I went back to it today to get inspiration my new loft because I'm moving to work at my first job out of college...RAYTHEON in MA. small world
Raytheon's the one behind putting those UFOs in the air, too. Maybe Northrup. Look into laser induced plasma, and laser induced plasma holograms. It's plasma that can appear, to the eye, to be a craft, and it is picked up on radar. The radar return on some of these plasma holograms, just so happen to be about the same return that a stealth bomber would make. I find it fascinating.
@@Inertia888 black programs on this planet have also been able to replicate and put out real electrogravitic vehicles not just pumping out energy in space to mimic or fool. We'll be long dead before it ever comes to light.
Wow, so they must've had this back in 1980 during the Rendlesham Forest (RAF Woodbridge, aka Europe's Roswell) UFO sightings by hundreds of people too. And all the other ones around US missile sights starting in the 60's. I don't think so.
I love your videos! And you are VERY easy on the eyes! You’re more than welcome to get a tour of Goddard Space Flight Center if you ever want. Let me know!
This was very cool. I prefer the Tom Scott story about the origin of the residential microwave being related to thawing hypothermic hamsters in the UK after WW2.
do you ever heard of LRASM its is a long range, precision-guided anti-ship missile leveraging off of the successful JASSM-ER heritage, and is designed to meet the needs of U.S. Navy and Air Force warfighters.
Not the way microwaves developed. The magnetron came first, it was used to develop radar circa WW2. Radar facilities in Hawaii noticed that there were dead birds around their radar dishes and upon inspection noticed the birds were cooked from the inside out. Raytheon then developed the radar range. The first microwave. The problem with your lore is that if the peanut bar melted in his pocket from microwave exposure then that guy wouldn't be long for this earth as it would cook him easier than it would the bar because of moisture content as making water molecules vibrate is how microwaves work and since he's more water than that "bar" then he would have certainly felt the effects. This and I was told the story from my training in the Navy and from actual OG Raytheon techs from back in that day. Someone is trying to capitalize on something for some reason but I don't understand their motivation. Keep it real by telling the real story hommie. Not some fabricated propaganda piece told by... who did tell you that lie‽‽‽ Also are you not going to even go into what's really special about the Spy6 radar... it's a phased array radar with 360° constant coverage. Never said a single word about that. Just because it hooks into the Link system doesn't make it special. Everything goes into the Link system.
@@swayzefan3600 oh ic. Your just a pitiful troll huh. Sir or likely ma'am, there are far better things going on in the world deserving of your wrath than calling me a lier when I could care less what you think within this context and I can only leave this conversation thinking "my God SMH how sad a waste that is if they are actually real and not a troll bot" Are you real? You're not just some logic and code wrote to find tune UA-cam's algorithm or forgotten code gone rogue in the most underwhelming way are you? Then find something in this very fucked up world to fix and go do it and not avoid something because it's difficult. Even if it's something that's only big in your world! A really smart person once said "be the change you want to see in the world". Now I ask are you really a pitiful troll and possibly just bad code or are you real, here, and changing the world because that's pretty awesome and impressive. Really, "no I won't buy things from a lier" lmfao. I sold that RadarRange months ago for ten grand and the guy left smiling from ear to ear thanking me profusely because he knew what it was, the very real history of it, none of which I had to say anything about because he was curating a museum. So now I ask since I've got time invested into you. Who are you? Put your emotions and hormones in your pocket when you answer that please because I'm here for logic and not a dopamine response reward for an addict who society has not yet been smart enough to realize is one and keyboard warriors and trolls are some of the worst addicts the world has ever seen and no one acknowledges it. Sorry had to put that out there.
The size difference in Spy6 models correlates to differences in capabilities or they all perform equally just in different size configurations to fit specific ships?
Sam, Greetings from Colorado Springs. Are you still active Air Force? If not, why, if I may ask, did you leave. I was an AF brat and then served six years. Your videos are great.
I was wondering if I want to become a pilot with the navy, should I be going into the Naval academy. I assume it focuses more on being a sailor than a pilot so would it be more beneficial to go to the USAFA?
Spy 6? Its pretty new. I left in 2018 when it was still only spy 1d and 1dv. You were either part of the first ship installed with it in 2020 or you got some test ship
FMS.....SPY radar works in conjunction with FMS radar. Spy detects. FMS shoots. FMS gets more clout but basically has no responsibility or difficultu. Lazy boneheads. Meanwhile SPY techs constantly on watch, maintenance, adjusting radar settings, being manhandled by SWO, Capt, AIR...etc. always on call.
This one was a blast. Let me know where I should visit next!
You should visit a aircraft carrier
@@yuvichinanan1062 Oh yes please
Area 57💯 that's the next place you should visit💯
The AH-64 or the a KC aircraft
You should visit Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana to view the B-52 Stratofortress super bomber

God damn i forgot I-Hawk exists XD.
Hi Sam, I was one of the first assemblers to put the spy 6 together. I"m recently retired but I have always loved my Job. Great Video by the way!!
Wow! That’s so awesome to hear. Thanks so much watching ☺️
Another well produced video. I appreciate having complex technologies clearly and simply explained.
Much appreciated!
46+ years later. Still working at Raytheon (Tewksbury/Andover). Have a great Pension check coming some day!
$4,000 at monthly?
Unbelievable the transparency behind US technology. It's seriously good to know more about the latest hardware that keeps us all safe. Amazing gear!
theres alot you dont see lol
US has one of the most powerful ground radars in the world
Transparent. Hmm... Hahaha! Hilarious. That's a negative sir.
Us is miles ahead
Russia and China just make wooden cutouts and glue them to their ships and claim VICTORY!

Great video Sam and crew. You seem headed toward a DoD level videographer career. Keep up the great work.
Sam Raytheon also has a missile plant in Tucson, AZ. They build a lot of different missiles there.
That would be sweet to check out.
Tucson is home of the Tomahawk.
I'm guessing that they have so much more sophisticated things that in no way would they be able to allow you to even know about. Thanks for this video as it helps me feel comfortable knowing the US has so much more scientifically advanced technology in use and development to assure the citizens and military safety beyond our comprehension!
Honestly these documentaries/ military image videos are great!
Given the level of access, imagine how confident Raytheon must be that *nobody* can replicate these things 😬
Excellent Video Sam.

9:12 hilarious only because I thought the guy was holding a beer at first while the narration said "we got a skilled workforce"

Great video Sam, interesting to see if you could tour NORAD.
This video is cool as hell. Subbed.
Sam yet again, impressive!
Thanks for watching!
Try getting a look at Lockheed Martin’s helicopter production facility!

Amazing video, keep it up Sam Eckholm! I love every videos that you posted
what’re the chances i was watching the Thailand video and you upload it is my lucky day!
This is cool but if you ever visit the UK and want to see the next generation of radars being built at BAE (microwave quantum illumination radars) let me know.
I know about the microwave! But I don’t know it’s come by Raytheon! Thank you Sam ❤
How on earth did you get access to that with a camera?🤯mind blowing
The classified bits are all in the TRIM assembly clean room.
The idea of an array of microwave modules is pretty much radar 101 these days.
It's not like they told him anything interesting, but still impressive to get permission to shoot there.
There's nothing to see that gives away crucial information, all the important details are in the integrated circuits and in the algorithms, neither being visible when you walk past it with a camera.
My bro works there and says they don't like cell phones. But this is just fine.
Boring video, same footage over and over. You really didnt see anything.

Such high production quality for such a small channel. Feels like propaganda or a “recruitment drive” for the MIC
Thats just the product of good camera, an attractive person and decent personality
Sam maybe you should do a video about the U.S.Coast Guard like the helicopters for example the UH-60 Jayhawk
Look forward to all the videos, brother!
I appreciate it!
