Raytheon SAS replaces president

Jon C. Jones, a 28-year veteran of military contractor Raytheon’s weapons-making divisions, has taken over as president of Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems, effective today.

Jones replaces Jack R. Kelble, who will assist in the transition and retire from the company in February of next year.

Jones has had several leadership roles in Raytheon, including vice president and deputy general manager of Raytheon Missile Systems, and vice president of the Missile Systems’ Strike product line, with responsibility for the Tomahawk cruise missile, among other weaponry. He has been vice president and general manager of SAS since May 2005.
