This one was a blast. Let me know where I should visit next!

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.

Unbelievable the transparency behind US technology. It's seriously good to know more about the latest hardware that keeps us all safe. Amazing gear!

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!

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!!

Another well produced video. I appreciate having complex technologies clearly and simply explained.

Thank you Raytheon for building hardware that can detect UFOs without informing the public.

46+ years later. Still working at Raytheon (Tewksbury/Andover). Have a great Pension check coming some day!

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! 😎

That zero-sound room is insane!

Great video Sam and crew. You seem headed toward a DoD level videographer career. Keep up the great work.

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 :-) )

Awesome video! I was so happy to see the level of automation they are using. It was a pleasant surprise!

Great video! This was the first one of yours ever recommended to me and that’s all it took to hook me 😂. You earned my sub! ❤

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 ..

Honestly these documentaries/ military image videos are great!

Sam Raytheon also has a missile plant in Tucson, AZ. They build a lot of different missiles there.

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.

Thanks for creating and sharing!

Neat video, Honestly I a surprised that they let you see as much as they did. I am sure the hidden secrets of this place are really amazing!

Making these videos not easy job. It requires a lot of planing, time and money. Well done!!!

Fantastic video Sam. Forest, MS is a must see and Have you been to Fort Worth to see the F-16/F-35 production... Cheers!

These videos are awesome! Keep up the great work Sam

Given the level of access, imagine how confident Raytheon must be that *nobody* can replicate these things 😬

Amazing! Thank you Sam.

i love how its all in house ...how production must be

Amazing video, keep it up Sam Eckholm! I love every videos that you posted

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

Great video Sam, interesting to see if you could tour NORAD.

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!

I just did learn something new! Thanks much Sam.

Thanks for your amazing videos!

What a privilege to get to see such things in person .

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)

This video is cool as hell. Subbed.

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!

As a Canadian I can only wish our government invested in keeping us safe. We are sitting ducks at this point. All our tech is from America respect to you all, so innovative and inpressive

As a Swede i feel really proud to see Sam still looking like he could fit right back in Sweden! 🇸🇪 Swede-Amerikans FTW

So mad I wasn't there the day this was filmed!

Excellent Video Sam. Love from India.

Cool vid! That was the largest Phanuc robot I've ever seen!

Another incredibly fascinating video, Sam. Well done.

Look forward to all the videos, brother!

Nice! This guy should have more subscribers.

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

Sam maybe you should do a video about the U.S.Coast Guard like the helicopters for example the UH-60 Jayhawk

Thanks for this awesome video

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.

what’re the chances i was watching the Thailand video and you upload it is my lucky day!

Another great video Sam!

I know about the microwave! But I don’t know it’s come by Raytheon! Thank you Sam ❤

Wow! That guy in the pink shirt in the range is a total stud!

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.

Wow that was amazing

Try getting a look at Lockheed Martin’s helicopter production facility!

I work there! Saw my room 👏🏻

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.

its kinda crazy, this guys gets access to all kinds of classified facilities.

How on earth did you get access to that with a camera?🤯mind blowing

Outstanding content as usual Sam. 🙌🙌🙌

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?

Let's see how the constellation class of frigates are being made?

Sam yet again, impressive!

Well, I got couple of options for you 1. Area 51 2. Bermuda triangle 3. Skunkworks

Wish you would have asked about UAPs UFO 🛸 being picked up. AGP 73 to APG 79 system

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.

YOU Should do the MQ-9 Reaper

Cool vlog, Sam! Thanks for bringing us along.

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?

Such high production quality for such a small channel. Feels like propaganda or a “recruitment drive” for the MIC

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.

audio at 10:46 is so clean😂

While ago, you posted a tweet on your UKposts page about how you filmed a video on the F-22, could you post that?

You should make a video on valley forge military college

Hey will you be at the Cleveland airshow show with the F-22 demo team this year? (2023)

My guess is Percy didnt have any more offspring after the incident with the popcorn.

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.

I wonder what would happen to you if they turned on that 37-RMA while you're standing right in front of it.

That's really cool. i hope to join the U.S air force

Damn, i love your videos br0

Realy I like this factory

The amount of birds that I've witnessed this RADAR kill out at sea is unfathomable lmao

Love all your videos ❤🇦🇺

5:12 good industry 4.0

Have YOU seen UAP UNIDENTIFIED AERIAL PHENOMENA? no more stigma❤️👍🙏

@1:04 we see daddy robot helping son robot with his work...

Amazing

As cool as this all is I can’t get over the small robot arm on a big robot arm

Sam!! you are the best!!!

3:33 - - Radar info

Keeping FREEDOM alive and visible ...

Thaad and Patriot facilities

Take Love All Americans 🇺🇸❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

America is very good at making very high technology.

nobody like this?so much disappointed for us boys,this is cool stuff and best part in defense system

Out Strding Same And Love From Bangladesh ❤️ 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

I wonder if Sam is ever going to start a long form podcast…

Detecting an incoming missile is one thing, but how do you shoot it down? What about those hypersonic missiles?

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT JACKET?????
