Defense contractor Raytheon Co. said Jon C. Jones, the president of its space and airborne systems division, died this past weekend of an apparent heart attack. He was 55.
Waltham-based Raytheon said Jones joined the company in 1977 and subsequently held several management positions, including posts overseeing its missile product lines. He was appointed president of the space and airborne systems unit, which is based in El Segundo, Calif., in 2005. The company said he previously served as general manager of Raytheon Missile Systems in Tuscon, Ariz.
“Jon was a valued contributor to Raytheon for 33 years, an outstanding leader within our company, industry and community, and a dear friend,” said Raytheon Chairman and CEO William H. Swanson in a prepared statement. “He was a wonderful innovator who guided numerous programs of the utmost importance to our men and women in uniform. Everyone who knew and worked with Jon will miss him.”
