As a partner to Ozark Integrated Circuits, Inc., we'll contribute to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) High Operational Temperature Sensors (HOTS) program. Our Advanced Technology team will help develop an 800ºC electronic pressure sensing system that will raise performance over existing solutions that could be used in emerging high-speed aerospace systems. The HOTS program aims to advance state-of-the-art technology not incrementally, but by orders of magnitude. Learn more: https://rtxcorp.co/4dAgWah

Our advanced ground system for space-based missile warning, FORGE MDAPAF, has moved from prototype to operations at the U.S. Space Force's Overhead Persistent Infrared Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC). "There are thousands of satellites on orbit today and space is an increasingly contested domain," said Sandy Brown, vice president for Mission Solutions & Payloads for Raytheon. "FORGE MDPAF is designed to scale in a way that can handle the current volume of missile warning data and grow to support future proliferated space data processing needs."

At our Annual Shareowners Meeting this morning, I outlined the remarkable opportunity ahead of us – to be the best aerospace and defense company in the world. For us, this means being recognized by our customers as a trusted partner that executes on its commitments. It means high-performing teams solving our customers’ biggest challenges. It means leveraging our CORE operating system to help drive operational excellence in terms of quality and cost. It means being the provider of differentiated technologies that create a competitive advantage. And it means converting all these attributes into best-in-class financial performance and long-term shareholder value. We have all the ingredients. The best portfolio in aerospace and defense consisting of industry-leading businesses – Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon – with a backlog of more than $200 billion. And the most innovative, talented team in aerospace and defense with an uncommon dedication to our mission to connect and protect the world. Nearly twenty years ago, I joined the company, and today, I am humbled and honored by the chance to lead this incredible organization. Together, we will write the next chapter for RTX.

Our partnership with Boeing allows us to equip the KC-46A Pegasus with the ALR-69A – an RF warning system that is part of the tanker’s defense and self-protect system. Mischa Dalcerri, Deputy Director of Electronic Warfare Systems, discusses how Raytheon contributes to ensuring the safety of our fleet.

We recently broke ground on our $115 million expansion of our Raytheon missile integration facility, which serves as the final integration point for several key missile programs. When complete, the factory’s capacity for integrating and delivering several of our critical munition programs will increase by more than 50%. This investment in Huntsville, Ala., prioritizes operational efficiency and demonstrates our critical focus on delivering for our customers.

Working at the speed of light, our high-power microwaves, a non-kinetic defense system, defeat airborne threats. Hitting threats with high-peak-power radio frequency, the energy causes instantaneous failure of the electronic components. Learn more: https://rtxcorp.co/3UvOu0P
