I believe $RTN, at approximately $51/share, is a good value with a margin of safety.
Raytheon is a major United States defense contractor with nearly $25 billion in annual sales that operates through six segments: integrated defense systems, intelligence and information, missile systems, network-centric systems, space and airborne systems, and technical services. Sales to the U.S. government account for more than 88% of the company's total sales. Waltham, Mass., based Raytheon employs 75,000 people.

I estimated the firm's WACC at 9.11% using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and the company's recent SEC filings.

The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 9.11%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $26,731 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $2,781 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $23,950 million.
$23,950 million / 365 million outstanding shares = $65.62 per share. A 20% margin of safety from here is approx $52 per share and $RTN's current share price is approx $51. I consider $RTN a good buy with a margin of safety for the long term on a cash flow valuation basis.
