We’re defeating tomorrow’s threats
As domains converge and connect, new threats and opportunities emerge. By giving service members every advantage for operational success, RTX is creating a safer world. It is this mission that drives our innovation in defense technology.
A relentless pursuit of progress drives us forward every day – because the progress we make matters. And it matters because what we deliver protects and connects our world.
Key facts
We draw on decades of investment in technology to protect our world. Here are just a few examples.
360°
coverage delivered by LTAMDS radar to defeat next-generation threats
25,000+
operational hours of high-energy laser weapon systems
700
lives (and counting) saved by the ACES family of ejection seats
How do we detect and defeat enemy drones?
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are a rapidly emerging and disruptive threat on today's battlefield. Bob Kelley, senior director for Land & Air Defense Systems, shares insights about Raytheon's portfolio of sensors and effectors for the complete counter-UAS mission. Raytheon’s advanced KuRFS radar is coupled with Coyote® kinetic and non-kinetic effectors to detect and defeat enemy drones using an integrated command-and-control system, while the company’s High-Energy Laser Weapon System can provide additional layered defense against drones.

New Coyote® variant designed for "launched-effects" programs
A new version of the combat-proven Coyote family of products fired from a helicopter during a recent test at Nine Mile Training Center, giving military forces a new capability to detect, identify, locate and defeat threats on the battlefield.
The future of flight for the U.S. Army
MOSA will help enable Future Vertical Lift – the U.S. Army’s effort to modernize and keep a technological edge across many platforms including next-generation rotorcraft, tiltrotors and other vertical lift systems.
How can you own the sky before ever leaving ground?
RTX creates the most advanced air-to-air missile capabilities to counter peer threats at extended range in an increasingly complex world. They matter in the defense of allied nations and their citizens – and they matter in ways we have yet to imagine.
What will define the future of aerospace and defense?
Progress is not automatic. It is initiated – by tirelessly asking the hard questions and finding answers. In our digital engineering hubs, research labs and advanced manufacturing facilities, our researchers and engineers are pushing the limits of known science.
For our global workforce of innovative thinkers, progress defines the future – and it defines us.
