Raytheon | RTX overview

Raytheon, a business unit of RTX Corporation, stands at the forefront of global defense innovation, providing advanced military and aerospace technologies that secure national interests and safeguard allied forces. Founded in 1922, Raytheon has grown into a key pillar of RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies Corporation), following a 2020 merger with United Technologies. RTX, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is now one of the world’s largest aerospace and defense conglomerates.

Raytheon specializes in the design and manufacturing of state-of-the-art defense systems, including air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, electronic warfare platforms, radar systems, targeting solutions, and advanced surveillance technologies. Its product portfolio includes well-known systems such as the AMRAAM® and AIM-9X® Sidewinder missiles, StormBreaker® smart weapons, the Paveway® laser-guided bomb series, and advanced AESA radars. These solutions deliver unmatched operational capabilities to fighter jets, unmanned systems, and multi-domain combat environments.

At the heart of Raytheon’s counter-UAS capabilities is the combat-proven Coyote® system—an expendable, rail-launched drone designed to defeat enemy UAVs and swarms. Integrated with Raytheon’s KuRFS radar, it forms the backbone of the U.S. Army’s Low, slow, small, unmanned aircraft Integrated Defeat System (LIDS).

Driven by a mission to create a safer world, Raytheon leverages over a century of engineering excellence, deep defense partnerships, and a commitment to innovation. Working closely with the U.S. Department of Defense and allied militaries, Raytheon continues to evolve its solutions to meet the challenges of modern warfare—on land, at sea, in the air, and across the electromagnetic spectrum.
