As domains converge and connect, new threats and opportunities emerge. By giving our service members every advantage for operational success, we create a safer world. It is this mission that drives our relentless innovation in defense technology.

With our integrated expertise and capabilities, Raytheon Technologies is uniquely positioned to give our customers the advantage in every moment.

Moments that matter

We draw on decades of investment in technology to protect our world. Here are just a few examples …

40,000
pounds of thrust produced by the F135 fighter engine

The moments we're made for

Missile defense is all about buying time. The sooner you detect an attack, the more options you have to intervene.

And the best place to buy that kind of time is in space.

All about the F-35

The F-35 is the world's most advanced military system – a stealthy, single-engine fighter jet built to survive missions deep in hostile territory. Raytheon Technologies products play a part in nearly everything it does.

Thermal management

The next generation of U.S. military fighter jets will need more powerful and fuel-efficient engines, better avionics and advanced mission systems to meet their increased range requirements. Power and thermal management experts at Raytheon Technologies are working to make that happen.

Our capabilities

We provide the capabilities our defense customers need to help ensure global security, such as systems for missile warning and surveillance, fighter jet platforms, hypersonic technology, and air dominance and cybersecurity technologies.
