Raytheon (NYSE: RTX) was selected by the German government on Oct. 8, 2025 to provide the SPY-6(V)1 radar for installation on eight F127 frigates under a requested U.S. Navy foreign military sales contract.

SPY-6(V)1 is configured with four array faces, each containing 37 radar modular assemblies, delivering continuous 360-degree situational awareness and air-and-missile defense. Germany will be the first international customer for SPY-6. The radar and related adaptation, support, and services will be produced and integrated at Raytheon’s Andover, Massachusetts radar development facility, a 30,000-square-foot vertically integrated site supporting round-the-clock testing and production.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) and Anduril successfully completed a static fire test of an advanced solid rocket motor on Oct. 7, 2025 under a contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate. The test demonstrates collaborative engineering on a Highly Loaded Grain rocket motor and supports efforts to expand U.S.-based rocket motor manufacturing capacity.

The companies say the work advances a more robust, adaptable supply base and complements RTX's composable weapons strategy by integrating Anduril's propulsion capabilities into the defense technology ecosystem.

TransDigm (NYSE: TDG) completed the acquisition of Simmonds Precision Products from RTX on Oct 6, 2025 for approximately $765 million in cash, following an initial announcement on June 30, 2025.

RTX's (NYSE: RTX) subsidiary Pratt & Whitney has successfully completed critical testing of its small turbofan engine family for Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). The tests revealed that their existing commercial engines can deliver up to 20% increased thrust for unmanned applications.

The company is currently conducting a second phase of testing focused on inlet airflow and pressure variations for embedded engines. These tests, combined with digital twin modeling, aim to optimize engine performance and reduce integration risks for CCA platforms while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) subsidiary Raytheon has successfully completed testing of a ground-launched variant of their StormBreaker® smart weapon. The prototype was developed and tested in just 50 days at a Mojave Desert test range, reaching an altitude of approximately 20,000 feet.

The ground-launched StormBreaker maintains the air-launched version's capabilities of engaging moving and stationary targets in various weather conditions, both on land and at sea. The weapon is currently approved for use on F-15E and F/A-18-E/F Super Hornet aircraft, with ongoing integration for F-35A/B/C variants. Additional testing is scheduled throughout 2025.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) has announced that its Raytheon business and Avio USA are expanding their collaboration with a new $26 million purchase order for the Mk 104 dual-thrust rocket motor program. The funding, announced 13 months after their initial contract, will support continued engineering work through the Critical Design Review phase and procurement of long-lead materials for qualification.

The collaboration aims to establish a second source for critical materials and enhance production capacity for Raytheon's Standard Missile franchise. The companies have already completed both System Requirements Review and Preliminary Design Review phases, setting the foundation for future development and production.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) has unveiled its next-generation APG-82(V)X radar system, featuring advanced gallium nitride (GaN) technology. The enhanced radar system, developed by Raytheon, offers increased range and improved processing capabilities for detecting and engaging aerial threats.

The APG-82(V)X is an active electronically scanned array radar that utilizes thousands of transmit and receive modules for superior target detection and tracking. The system's GaN technology enables extended range without additional power requirements, while its open architecture design ensures scalability for future applications.

Development is underway in El Segundo, California, with production planned at established facilities in Forest, Mississippi.
