Raytheon Technologies ranked No. 41 on The Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2022.
Raytheon Technologies has partnered with Engineers Without Borders to help design a new footbridge over the Mubuku River in Uganda using 3D mapping technology.
The new bridge will help the Bikone village, a rural farming community of about 2,000 people. The bridge will restore access to schools, markets and healthcare.
“Previously, map data accuracy was inadequate for EWB-USA project planning. Now, Raytheon Technologies is offering high-resolution 3D map imagery, which is crucial for tasks like water routing or bridge construction,” said Guy Swope, Raytheon Technologies Satellite Imagery project lead for EWB-USA. “The 3D perspective enhances planning, and we can achieve accuracy matching the satellite data we receive. We often collaborate with universities. I want to be able to demonstrate to students how our technology can aid global humanitarian efforts.”
The R3D DEM, a high-resolution satellite imagery system, will help determine the optimal location, alignment and height of the bridge. It will also help estimate cost, materials required and environmental impact.
