Raytheon in Antarctica

I picked up a factoid the other night on C2C on a show about chemtrails-- that Raytheon handles the radar systems around the world.  This reminded me of USGS handling mapmaking around the world. I also thought about Mark Sargent's and others pointing out that there is no GPS tracking of flights in the southern hemisphere.... however that point's importance is negated by the fact that pilots don't use GPS anyway. They use a tracking system installed by Raytheon. I wondered what Raytheon might be doing in the Antarctic which might help me determine the extent of Antarctica to see if it's an island or a perimeter.

Here's my search

Raytheon has "polar services" but this is inadequate for my purpose since the Antarctic is far different than the Arctic in both flat and sphere models.
