RTX

In Raytheon’s 49,000 square-foot Space Systems Operations facility in Tucson, Arizona, our team of technicians, engineers and operators develop, test and assemble parts for highly precise defensive weapons known as “kill vehicles” that track and defeat ballistic missiles in the vacuum of space – an environment the site was designed specifically to recreate. “We have 25 years of iterative experience and data from 50 successful space intercepts,” said Justin Jenia, vice president of Strike Initiatives at Raytheon. “What we learned, what we saw in these increasingly complex test scenarios has led to significant efficiencies and process improvements in our factory assembly and environmental controls.” To learn more about these capabilities visit our booth 301 at #SMDSymposium or visit: https://rtxcorp.co/3WS1Bvk

Team RTX came out in full force with 300+ employees and their friends and family, participating in Run to Home Base, virtually and in person, to show their appreciation and support for veterans, service members, military families and families of the fallen. The event raised $3.3 million for Home Base, a national nonprofit dedicated to providing world-class, direct clinical care, wellness, education and research to veterans struggling with invisible wounds.

When you lead with mission, results follow. Across both commercial aerospace and defense, our 185,000 employees work each day to solve critical needs for our partners.

Across the commercial aerospace and defense industry, we announced several news stories during #FIA2024. Take a look at our week in the United Kingdom.

RTX’s BBN Technologies successfully demonstrated its DISPERSED middleware technology in the Valiant Shield warm start exercise under the banner of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Rapidly Distributed Air Operations Center program. Valiant Shield proved DISPERSED can reduce overhead and latency for Continuity of Operations and is a key enabler for Agile Combat Employment —the ability to continue mission operations in dynamic contested environments.

Over 2,500 visitors. Dozens of customer meetings. #oneRTX developing transformative technologies to solve the greatest challenges in aerospace and defense. Let's look back at #FIA2024.

Congratulations to all the students who competed at this year’s International Rocketry Challenge during #FIA2024, including Tharptown High School from Russellville, Alabama, representing the United States, who placed second behind the United Kingdom. “This year’s participants took on the challenge to design, build, and launch each model rocket, and by doing so demonstrated their ability to innovate, create and collaborate – key skills we need in our future leaders to create a safer and more connected world,” said Pam Erickson, senior vice president & chief communications officer, RTX. This annual competition sponsored by RTX expands the reach of rocketry to students around the world in effort to help inspire them to pursue careers in STEM. Learn more: https://rtxcorp.co/4fhGwSn

RTX will team with Airbus and MBDA on the next generation medium multirole rotorcraft (NGRC). This transatlantic collaborative research effort led by Airbus, is key to providing the most technologically competitive military helicopters for NATO nations. RTX businesses Collins Aerospace and Raytheon will develop solutions to increase pilot situational awareness across a broad scope of operations, with a connected platform leveraging a multidomain combat cloud, as well as new digital engineering approaches.

The Netherlands and Austria took a significant step forward for their military airlift and transport capabilities this week at #FIA2024. We're proud to supply the multi-mission C-390 Millennium with technologies including Collins Aerospace Avionics and the V2500-E5 engine from IAE AG – a multinational consortium that includes Pratt & Whitney, Pratt & Whitney Aero Engines International GmbH, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines.

With over 30 million flight hours, Pratt & Whitney’s F100 engine powers the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon, which celebrates 50 years of flight this year. Now, the F100 has been selected to power Hermeus’ Quarterhorse Mk 2 supersonic aircraft and a future multi-mission hypersonic UAS, known as Darkhorse. Learn more: https://rtxcorp.co/3WATGmc
