Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, has unveiled enhanced features for its Prime wheelchair seating solution at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg. The improvements, developed through feedback from passengers with reduced mobility (PRM), airlines, and technical advisors, introduce a transformable monument that doubles as a passenger amenity station and crew service area.
The solution includes modern amenities such as a height-adjustable tray table with tablet holder, power outlets, and passenger service unit. Key enhancements ensure emergency egress compliance and accommodate caregivers in adjacent seats. When not serving PRMs, the monument converts to provide crew service space with half-sized trolley cart storage and additional stowage.
The Prime solution, first introduced at AIX 2024, allows electric wheelchair users to remain seated in their wheelchairs during flights, utilizing an industry-standard 'roll on, lock down' tie-down system. The design maintains airline seat count while simplifying boarding and deplaning processes.
RTX's Raytheon division has awarded dual-source contracts to Nammo and Northrop Grumman for the initial phase development of MK72 solid rocket motors. The strategic move aims to expand the supplier base and meet growing global demand for defense systems, particularly the Standard Missile program.
Under these contracts, both suppliers will verify design requirements and specifications, completing a Systems Requirements Review to validate design concepts. The initiative focuses on demonstrating the suppliers' capability to execute requirements and production ramp-up before proceeding with further development and qualification phases.
Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon, emphasized that alongside dual sourcing, the company is increasing supply base oversight and making strategic investments to address constraints and accelerate capability delivery.
BrainChip Holdings (BRCHF) has announced a partnership with Raytheon Company, an RTX business, to fulfill a $1.8M contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory focused on neuromorphic radar signal processing.
The project, titled 'Mapping Complex Sensor Signal Processing Algorithms onto Neuromorphic Chips,' will specifically address micro-Doppler signature analysis for enhanced activity discrimination. BrainChip's Akida™ processor, designed for ultra-low power consumption in neural network processing, aims to enable sophisticated radar processing in power-constrained weapon systems like missiles, drones, and drone defense systems.
The partnership leverages BrainChip's neuromorphic technology to improve cognitive communication capabilities on size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C)-constrained platforms for military, spacecraft, and robotics applications.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) has announced it will release its first quarter 2025 earnings results on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, before market opening. The company will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the quarterly performance.

RTX's Raytheon business has successfully tested a new variant of its Coyote unmanned aerial system, launching it from a helicopter at Nine Mile Training Center. The new variant, called Coyote LE SR, expands upon the platform's proven counter-drone capabilities, where it has already intercepted hundreds of drones in combat.
The system is designed for 'launched-effects' programs and can be deployed from air, ground, or sea platforms. Key capabilities include reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, electronic warfare, precision strike, and communications. The Coyote LE SR features collaborative autonomy, enabling it to interact with nearby sensors and systems to optimize mission performance based on real-time battlefield data.
Additional testing of the Coyote LE SR will continue throughout 2025, marking a significant expansion of the platform's operational capabilities.
RTX's Raytheon business has successfully demonstrated its DeepStrike™ autonomous mobile launcher vehicle in a live fire test at the U.S. Army's Project Convergence. The self-driving launcher, developed through a collaboration between Raytheon, Forterra, Oshkosh Defense, and Ursa Major, operates without requiring a driver and is designed for all-weather conditions and terrains.
The demonstration featured a new Raytheon-made missile for the U.S. Army's Joint Reduced Range Rocket program, developed through rapid prototyping. The DeepStrike launcher offers increased weapons capacity compared to current systems and can accommodate various missile sizes, enhancing Army mobility and survivability. Further autonomy testing, including offensive and defensive fires in challenging environments, is planned for the next year.
RTX's Raytheon has secured a follow-on contract from the U.S. Army Futures Command to continue utilizing its Rapid Campaign Analysis and Demonstration Environment (RCADE) modeling and simulation capability. The contract builds upon initial work where Raytheon developed large-scale theater scenarios for multi-domain conflict assessment.
Under the new agreement, Raytheon will establish a continuous experimentation environment with RCADE to support the U.S. Army's concept developers and Battle Labs in making strategic force design decisions. The system enables Raytheon's Advanced Technology analysts to collaborate with the Army team, ensuring continuous feedback between simulation and emerging real-world threats.
The partnership-based approach facilitates rapid innovation and experimentation, which can be leveraged by other Department of Defense agencies for testing and refining their solutions.
