Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, is investing $63 million to expand its MRO facility at Subang Aerotech Park in Malaysia. The project quadruples its Selangor footprint from 46,000 to 164,000 sq ft, making Subang a key regional hub.
The move, targeted for completion by year-end, adds advanced MRO capabilities, smart-building technologies and is planned to double local employment to support fast-growing Asia-Pacific aviation demand.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) will invest $100 million to expand its Portsmouth, Rhode Island facility, aimed at accelerating testing of the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) and increasing Patriot GEM-T subcomponent production to address growing global demand.
The project is expected to add 150 high-tech jobs and builds on a recent $53 million radar facility expansion in Andover, Massachusetts. RTX has operated in Rhode Island for over 60 years and employs more than 850 people in the state.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) reported that its Raytheon business received a $515 million follow-on contract from the U.S. Navy for the SPY-6 family of radars. The award supports integration, testing and upgrades of Flight IIA destroyers with the SPY-6(V)4 variant.
The sole-source contract includes support for Germany and potential additional countries via Foreign Military Sales. Raytheon has invested $800 million in radar manufacturing and expects to double SPY-6 output by 2028, with deployments projected on more than 50 U.S. Navy ships over the next decade.
RTX (NYSE:RTX) announced that Collins Aerospace has opened a newly expanded 22,000 square-meter landing gear manufacturing facility in Tajęcina, Poland.
The $69 million project is expected to lift landing gear production capacity by nearly 25% and add about 190 jobs in 2026.
RTX highlighted Poland as its largest employee base outside the US, with more than 9,400 employees. Separately, Pratt & Whitney plans a $100 million expansion at its Rzeszów site to increase engine component output by about 30% by 2028.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that the Javelin Joint Venture, a partnership between Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, has delivered the first Lightweight Command Launch Units (LWCLU) to the U.S. Army. The LWCLU is a next‑generation launcher for the Javelin weapon system, compatible with all Javelin variants and replacing the legacy command launch unit.
Raytheon has invested $22 million to modernize its Tucson, Arizona factory to increase LWCLU production speed and capacity in collaboration with the U.S. Army. The LWCLU offers twice the target detection and recognition range, while reducing size by 30% and weight by 25%, and provides day and night engagement capability to enhance soldier mobility and survivability.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its Raytheon business, with Northrop Grumman, received a phase two DARPA Burn n' Go contract to advance a composable solid rocket motor design. The effort targets flexible, scalable missile propulsion by enabling thrust-on-demand and supporting multiple missions from a common motor architecture.
Raytheon’s Advanced Technology team will mature and scale the solution and run demonstrations in increasingly realistic configurations, partnering with Northrop Grumman’s Allegany Ballistic Laboratory and Luna Innovations.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that its BBN Technologies unit has demonstrated PACE4ACE, an auto-switching, self-healing communications system for contested environments. Funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory, it maintains secure data flow for combat air support by automatically rerouting traffic across satellite, radio and low-power links.
During testing, four dispersed sites stayed connected as PACE4ACE instantly shifted to viable waveforms when high-capacity links were jammed, keeping Open Mission Systems and Team Awareness Kit applications synchronized. The compact, multiband, plug-and-play architecture supports Agile Combat Employment for dispersed U.S. Air Force units.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) announced that Raytheon has completed the preliminary design review for NASA's Landsat Next Instrument Suite (LandIS). The review confirmed the technical approach for its multispectral imager, algorithms and supporting systems.
The superspectral imager is designed to more than double spatial resolution and spectral bands, improving data quality for water, agriculture, forests, climate and snow research. The first LandIS sensor delivery is expected in 2028, extending the longstanding Landsat Earth observation record.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) business Raytheon received a contract from the Office of Naval Research to advance next-generation, software-defined naval radar capabilities.
The software enables independent control of radar building blocks for simultaneous multi-mission operation, improved spectrum sharing with 5G, and upgradeable performance via a flexible, modular architecture, with demonstrations planned before transition into operational systems.
RTX (NYSE:RTX)/b) announced that Chairman and CEO Chris Calio will present at the on Friday, May 29, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
The presentation will be webcast live and later archived on www.rtx.com.
