In Terminal mode, the radar directly communicates with the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system.

Latvian airline airBaltic and Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, have announced a long-term EngineWise™ Comprehensive maintenance services agreement for airBaltic's GTF engine fleet. The 17-year per-engine agreement links maintenance costs to engine utilization and provides greater transparency in planning and costs. This deal supports airBaltic's growth plans towards a 100 Airbus A220-300 fleet by 2030.

airBaltic, the global launch operator of the Airbus A220-300, has experienced a 25% reduction in fuel burn per seat with the PW1500G GTF engines compared to previous generations. The agreement aims to optimize fleet performance as airBaltic expands its route network, while maintaining a focus on fuel efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and reduced noise footprint.

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.
