Collins Aerospace (NYSE: RTX) demonstrated its Sidekick mission autonomy software in a successful test flight of General Atomics' YFQ-42A uncrewed jet on Feb. 20, 2026.
The test engaged autonomy mode for a four-hour autonomous flight managed by a ground operator, showing integration with the YFQ-42A mission systems and support for the U.S. Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft Increment 1 program.
Raytheon (NYSE: RTX) announced U.S. Navy approval of the StormBreaker smart weapon for operational use on the F/A-18‑E/F Super Hornet, dated February 20, 2026. StormBreaker can engage moving and stationary targets in fair and adverse weather, at sea or on land, and allows a single aircraft to strike more surface targets.
The munition is already approved for the F‑15E, was the first carried by the Super Hornet in 2023, and is being integrated on F‑35A/B/C aircraft.
Collins Aerospace (NYSE: RTX) was named a finalist for a 2026 Crystal Cabin Award on Feb. 17, 2026 for its SkyNook suite.
The SkyNook converts underutilized aft widebody space into a semi-private retreat with a convertible console that secures car seats, bassinets, pet carriers or service animals and a deployable privacy divider.
Raytheon (NYSE: RTX) was awarded a contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop a domestic production capability for thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) wafers, a material used in high‑speed secure communications and advanced sensing.
Raytheon will transfer an ion‑slicing process to US‑based G&H, with production transitioning to G&H in early 2026 for low‑rate initial production to strengthen U.S. supply chain resilience for defense and commercial sectors.
Raytheon (NYSE: RTX) demonstrated its Coyote Block 3 Non-Kinetic (NK) counter-unmanned air system on Feb. 11, 2026, in a U.S. Army exercise in Tucson, Arizona.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) BBN Technologies won a Department of War contract via the National Spectrum Consortium to build a prototype smart spectrum manager for safe, real-time coexistence between defense radars and commercial 5G in the 3.1–3.45 GHz band.
The program will deliver a two‑phase system: an initial detector and scheduler that shifts 5G traffic in seconds, then an advanced prototype integrating radar signals, interference cancellation, ML prediction, dynamic spectrum management and a cloud/edge sandbox. Team targets include a 50% usable 5G capacity gain, 20 dB interference reduction to radars, and a 1,000x 5G link‑quality improvement. Work spans multiple U.S. locations under Other Transaction W15QKN-21-9-5599.
