Randolph and Baldwin worked at Raytheon’s direction in producing over 685 separate items for the original Hawk Missile, many of which are still inventoried at the Ayer, Massachusetts facility. In 1957, Randolph and Baldwin was chosen as one of three recipients to receive the “Presidents Award”, presented by United States Secretary of the Navy Charles F. Adams, for being “instrumental in the development and successful deployment of the Hawk Missile”. To this day Randolph and Baldwin continues to supply Hawk Missile spares.
The late sixties led to the development of SAM-D and its 1975 successful engagement of a drone at the White Sands Missile Range. In 1978, Thomas Phillips, the CEO of Raytheon, presented Randolph and Baldwin with the “The Supplier of the Year” award for our efforts in the successful development of the Patriot Missile.
It is Randolph and Baldwin’s company mission to develop and manufacture equipment and products that will help the war fighter to achieve success in their mission to defend the United States interests at home and abroad.
In 2012, Randolph and Baldwin was asked to work with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in the development of specialized equipment for the Ocean Observatories Initiative. This activity expanded our staff, productions and facilities realizing a new division of Randolph and Baldwin designated as Ocean Systems.
The Ocean Systems mission is to work closely with customers to develop the strongest and most sea-worthy equipment in the market today.
The National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) will lay the foundation for future ocean science observations and enable powerful new research capabilities by transitioning the oceanographic community from expedition-based data gathering to persistent, controllable observations using a suite of interconnected sensors. Ocean Systems is working with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, one of the primary implementing organizations, in the design and construction of several buoys and frames.
