Yes Cossor is still a recognised brand within Raytheon.

I have forwarded or redirected many Emails about old Cossor equipment particulaly for Aerospace products such as Radar and IFF.

I have been in contact with several Raytheon staff most of whom were ex Cossor.
I dont know why they didn't choose to take up any of the available domain names, I guess because none of the new product ranges are branded as Cossor as far as I can tell its just legacy equipment.

It's funny we get a lot of Spam at work I guess this one is so well known amongst IT specialists it doesn't get past SPAM filters.

Indeed Email from friends and contacts ending in .cn is often blocked and I have to request exceptions. (Thank goodness for WeChat).
