"Honeywell sues Raytheon for grip on GPS technology
Raytheon Co., the world's largest missile maker, was sued by rival defense contractor Honeywell International Inc. for allegedly monopolizing a radio technology worth billions of dollars to the US armed forces.

A spokesman for Waltham-based Raytheon declined to comment (Bloomberg)."
