Raytheon, an RTX business, has been awarded a Navy ManTech project by Penn State University's Applied Research Laboratory to streamline the production of SPY-6 Transmit/Receive (TR) modules. The project aims to implement manufacturing advancements such as automation, new material sources, and process yield improvements, which are expected to reduce production costs for the U.S. Navy across the SPY-6 radar's life cycle.

SPY-6 is the Navy's family of radars that provides 360-degree integrated air and missile defense for various ship classes. The modular construction of SPY-6 variants, using common hardware and software, enhances reliability and reduces maintenance costs. New SPY-6 radio frequency TR modules are anticipated to be delivered in 2026-2027.

Raytheon, an RTX business, and Northrop Grumman have successfully completed a static fire test of an advanced long-range solid rocket motor in West Virginia. The test demonstrated wired end-burning technology for hypersonic applications and validated the design maturity and performance of the rocket motor. Both companies leveraged their digital engineering expertise to accelerate development using model-based systems engineering.

This milestone proves the significant capability of the solid rocket motor and demonstrates the ability to meet requirements for challenging long-range fires kill chains. The wired end-burning technology provides extended range over conventional rocket motors, pushing the boundaries on next-generation propulsion technology. This collaboration aims to deliver capability to servicemen and women on an accelerated schedule.

Raytheon, an RTX business, successfully demonstrated the SeaVue Multi-role Radar's (SVMR) long-range target detection capabilities at the U.S. Navy's Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC). During a Sink Exercise (SINKEX), an MQ-9B SeaGuardian® UAS used SVMR to survey targets and send track data to F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet aircraft. This data enabled the successful firing of a Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile at a decommissioned ship.

SVMR proved its ability to capture high-fidelity targeting data for successful weapons engagement in maritime environments. The radar provides all-weather surveillance and multi-mission performance for various aircraft platforms, offering extended range and small target detection from operational altitudes.

Magellan Aerospace has signed significant long-term agreements with Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business. These contracts renew existing agreements and cover the supply of complex castings for various engine programs. The castings will be produced at Magellan's facilities in Haley, Ontario and Glendale, Arizona.

This renewal solidifies the long-standing business relationship between Magellan and Pratt & Whitney, which dates back to the 1960s. Magellan supplies complex castings for civil and defence, fixed-wing and rotorcraft programs globally. The company is recognized as a global industry leader in advanced manufacturing techniques, including 3D sand printing, automated pouring and finishing, robotics, and digital radiography.

Raytheon, an RTX business, has secured a $478 million contract from the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to provide additional GEM-T missiles to Germany. This contract aims to replenish Patriot missiles that Germany donated to Ukraine. Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway have agreed to contribute to the financing of this procurement, demonstrating strong support for Ukraine.

The contract highlights the benefits of bundled, multi-national procurement of Patriot missiles through NSPA, including greater affordability and shorter acquisition timelines. The GEM-T, an enhanced Patriot Advanced Capability 2 (PAC-2) missile interceptor, is designed to defeat tactical ballistic missiles and is a primary component of the combat-proven Patriot air and missile defense system.

Raytheon, an RTX business, has been awarded two strategic Mentor-Protégé Agreement initiatives by the Department of the Navy Office of Small Business Programs. These initiatives aim to support the development of operational Artificial Intelligence for Department of Defense platforms and programs. Raytheon will mentor Anacapa Micro Products, Inc. and Nara Logics, Inc. over three years, focusing on system design, software architecture, systems integration, IT security constraints, and authority-to-operate requirements.

This collaboration is part of the DoD's Mentor-Protégé Program, established in 1990. The partnership aims to accelerate the development of next-generation autonomous capabilities to enhance decision-making effectiveness for servicemen and women. Upon completion, Raytheon will have a robust technology roadmap aligned with emerging commercial technologies from leading small businesses.

Avio has signed a contract with Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE:RTX) business, to develop critical solid rocket motors for defense applications. This partnership aims to enhance the resilience and responsiveness of solid rocket motor production. The contract focuses on advancing systems engineering work to bring these motors to a production-ready state.

Avio plans to leverage its Italian manufacturing and engineering capabilities to support the growth of Avio USA, its wholly owned subsidiary based in Arlington, Virginia. This collaboration is expected to help meet the increasing long-term demand from both domestic and international customers in the defense sector.
