The story broke earlier from AP News that the DoD ordered an investigation into defense contractors, Raytheon, and investigators found evidence of account discrepancies and fraudulent contracts. Investigators also found that while President Joe Biden and his team knew about these discrepancies, and still appointed Former General Lloyd Austin to be Secretary of Defense, despite his ties to Raytheon. An investigation will be launched by The House Armed Forces.
Raytheon has faced many controversies and internal issues recently. Just earlier this year, Raytheon delayed their missile defense contract with the US Government for the second time. This was after the contract had been increased to 600 million last June. An anonymous source from the DoD said “I don’t know what the **** Raytheon is doing”
It’s clear that Raytheon is struggling and their fraudulent behaviour may affect dealings with the government. Many companies are seeing this, and are jumping on the chance to promote their own company in light of the issues at Raytheon.
In an Miami Herald Exclusive with Northrop G Harris III, the company “very strongly denounces Raytheon for what can only be called corruption and funny business.” says Director of Marketing. She also adds that nothing of that sort would ever happen under N.G.H. III and “transparency with our clients is something we strive for.”
The Director of Strategy and Development clarifies that N.G.H. III is most upset with Raytheon’s “budgetary practices” rather than the CIA agreement. While they are speaking out against Raytheon, they are clearly attempting to maintain ties with the CIA by not condemning their actions. “We do not engage in such underhanded behavior” The Director of Strategy and Development adds.
Related to the controversy at Boeing the Director of Global Business says it is “very concerning” to see such behaviors, but “we are very happy to report that similar situations don’t occur under NGH III.”
If the DoD turns away from Raytheon for business, N.G.H. III is trying to demonstrate they are a similar if not better fit. While not directly bashing on Boeing or Raytheon, N.G.H. III is trying to capture the attention of DoD by condemning the behavior of other Defense Contractors.
