RTX Corp Stock Price, News & Analysis

RTX (NYSE: RTX) subsidiary Pratt & Whitney announced the development of a new scalable engine family designed for munitions and Collaborative Combat Aircraft. The engines will offer thrust ranging from 500 to 1,800 pounds.

The development is being led by Pratt & Whitney's GATORWORKS team, focusing on speed and cost-effectiveness. The engine design incorporates additive manufacturing and features commonality across models to reduce development and production timelines. A second round of testing is scheduled for early 2026 to validate key design features.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) subsidiary Pratt & Whitney has partnered with PBS Group to develop a next-generation auxiliary power unit (APU) for commercial and military aircraft applications. The collaboration, supported by the Czech Ministry of Defense's Industrial Cooperation Section, aims to create an APU with industry-leading power density.

The new APU will be designed to be significantly smaller and lighter than traditional units while delivering enhanced performance. Key features include rapid starting capability, high-altitude operation, and support for advanced capabilities like enhanced thermal management and electronic warfare technologies. The unit will serve various platforms including fighters, rotorcraft, and business jets.

Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has secured a contract from the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) to deliver its Electronic Warfare Planning and Battle Management (EWPBM) solution. The integrated software system will provide NATO with a comprehensive electromagnetic warfare command and control capability.

The EWPBM solution will create a Recognized Electromagnetic Picture by combining operational data, intelligence systems, and other sources, while also providing an Electronic Order of Battle. The system will enhance commanders' ability to visualize electronic warfare threats and automate jammer and sensor operations, significantly improving NATO's electromagnetic warfare capabilities.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) subsidiary Raytheon and the U.S. Air Force's Air Combat Command have achieved a significant milestone by executing the longest known AMRAAM® air-to-air missile shot from an F-22 fighter. The tests, conducted in fall 2024 at Eglin Air Force Base, demonstrated enhanced time of flight capabilities through the Air Force's form, fit, function refresh (F3R) development program.

The AMRAAM missile system has been operational for over 30 years, integrated across 14 platforms in 43 countries, with more than 6,000 successful live fires and near-perfect combat performance. The system is deployed for both air-to-air and surface-to-air missions by the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and allied forces.

Raytheon UK (NYSE: RTX) has secured a contract from BAE Systems to provide Landshield Plus anti-jam antennas for CV90 infantry fighting vehicles. The integrated solution combines an antenna and anti-jam processor in a single unit, offering real-time situational awareness in GPS-challenged environments.

The system features a seven-element antenna operating on both L1 and L2 GPS frequency bands, capable of blocking up to six jammers simultaneously. The compact, low-power solution will be delivered between 2025 and 2029 for integration into BAE Systems Hägglunds' CV90 platform.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) subsidiary Pratt & Whitney has secured an $18 million contract from the NATO Support Procurement Agency for TF33 engine sustainment services. The contract will support NATO's E-3 Sentry AWACS fleet, providing comprehensive engine maintenance and materials management.

The agreement spans three years with a potential two-year extension option. Services will include part forecasting, procurement, and technical support, conducted across multiple locations including Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base, depots in Turkey and Greece, and Pratt & Whitney's East Hartford facility.

RTX (NYSE:RTX) subsidiary Pratt & Whitney Canada has been selected to lead the PHARES (Powerplant Hybrid Application REgional Segment) project by the European Union's Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking. This marks a historic milestone as the first Canadian company to lead a Clean Aviation program.

The project will involve collaboration with Collins Aerospace, ATR, and Airbus to develop a hybrid-electric propulsion demonstrator targeting up to 20% improved fuel efficiency for regional aircraft. The system will combine an advanced PW127XT-derivative turboprop engine with Collins' 250 kW electric motor drive system and an optimized propeller gearbox.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) subsidiary Collins Aerospace has delivered its first six NavHub™-200M units to a European customer. The NavHub-200M is an advanced Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) receiver featuring military code (M-code) technology, designed to enhance protection against jamming and spoofing threats.

The system is notable as the first non-International Traffic in Arms vehicular navigation system with M-code receiver technology available internationally. Collins Aerospace has already delivered over 10,000 navigation systems globally, with the NavHub-200M being manufactured at their Heidelberg, Germany facility.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) subsidiary Raytheon has secured a $205 million contract from the U.S. Navy for the continued production of the Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS). The contract encompasses upgrades, conversions, overhauls, and related equipment for the defensive weapon system.

The Phalanx system, a rapid-fire, computer-controlled, radar-guided gun, serves as the Navy's last line of defense against anti-ship missiles and close-in threats. The system is currently deployed on all U.S. Navy surface combatant ships and those of 24 allied nations. The contract work will be conducted in Louisville, Kentucky, and other U.S. locations through 2029.
