RTX ANDOVER, Mass., July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, was awarded a $1.2 billion contract to supply Germany with additional Patriot® air and missile defense systems.These systems will augment Germany's existing air defense infrastructure with additional Patriot major end items. The scope of the contract includes the most current Patriot Configuration 3+ radars, launchers, command and control stations, associated spares, and support.
"Patriot remains the tried-and-true stalwart of air and missile defense, relied upon by our global customers to deter aggression and defend their interests," said Tom Laliberty, president of Land and Air Defense Systems at Raytheon. "With each additional Patriot system, Germany is enhancing its own air defenses and strengthening NATO's defense posture."
Patriot is the only combat-proven ground-based air and missile defense capability available in the world to defeat advanced long-range cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and the full spectrum of air-breathing threats. Patriot is the foundation of air defense for 19 countries, including Germany, the U.S. and Ukraine, and it continues to demonstrate its effectiveness against the most advanced and complex threats.
RTX WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The NATO summit in Washington showcased a series of significant deals for top U.S. defense companies and others, including RTX, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Norway's Kongsberg Defense and Sweden's SAAB.Here are some of the weapons procurements that were highlighted, many of which have been in development for months, if not years. Many date to before the summit, with the exception of the Stinger contract which was first publicly announced at the summit.
HIGHLIGHTED DEALS
• A $680 million contract for 940 Stinger missiles made by the Raytheon unit of RTX. Shoulder-fired Stingers have been in hot demand in Ukraine, where they have successfully stopped Russian assaults from the air. Neighboring European countries have sought the weapon, fearing they may also need to beat back Russian forces.
• Patriot GEM-T missiles, made by COMLOG, a joint venture between RTX's Raytheon and MBDA valued at $5.5 billion. NATO in January said its procurement arm would support a group of member countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, Romania and Spain, with a contract to buy up to 1,000 Patriot air defense missiles.

RTX Powered by Pratt & Whitney - northropgrumman.com/what-we-do/air/b-21-raider/10-facts-about-northrop-grummans-b-21-raider
Here are 10 key facts about the Northrop Grumman’s B-21 Raider:
1. Sixth Generation.
The B-21 Raider benefits from more than three decades of strike and stealth technology. It is the next evolution of the Air Force strategic bomber fleet. Developed with the next generation of stealth technology, advanced networking capabilities and an open systems architecture, the B-21 is optimized for the high-end threat environment. It will play a critical role in helping the Air Force meet its most complex missions.
2. Stealth.
Northrop Grumman is continuously advancing technology, employing new manufacturing techniques and materials to ensure the B-21 will defeat the anti-access, area-denial systems it will face.
3. Backbone of the Fleet.
The B-21 Raider forms the backbone of the future for U.S. air power. The B-21 will deliver a new era of capability and flexibility through advanced integration of data, sensors and weapons. Capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear payloads, the B-21 will be one of the most effective aircraft in the sky, with the ability to use a broad mix of stand-off and direct attack munitions.
4. A Digital Bomber.
The B-21 is a digital bomber. Northrop Grumman uses agile software development, advanced manufacturing techniques and digital engineering tools to help mitigate production risk on the B-21 program and enable modern sustainment practices. Six B-21 Raiders are in various stages of final assembly and test at Northrop Grumman’s plant in Palmdale, California.
5. Cloud Technology.
Northrop Grumman and the Air Force successfully demonstrated the migration of B-21 ground systems data to a cloud environment. This demonstration included the development, deployment and test of B-21 data, including the B-21 digital twin, that will support B-21 operations and sustainment. This robust cloud-based digital infrastructure will result in a more maintainable and sustainable aircraft with lower-cost infrastructure.
6. Open Architecture.
To meet the evolving threat environment, the B-21 has been designed from day one for rapid upgradeability. Unlike earlier generation aircraft, the B-21 will not undergo block upgrades. New technology, capabilities and weapons will be seamlessly incorporated through agile software upgrades and built-in hardware flexibility. This will ensure the B-21 Raider can continuously meet the evolving threat head on for decades to come.
7. A National Team.
Since the contract award in 2015, Northrop Grumman has assembled a nationwide team to design, test and build the world’s most advanced strike aircraft. The B-21 team includes more than 8,000 people from Northrop Grumman, industry partners and the Air Force. The team consists of more than 400 suppliers across 40 states.
8. Sustainment.
Long-term operations and sustainment affordability has been a B-21 program priority from the start. In partnership with the Air Force, our team has made maintainability an equally important requirement to stealth performance to ensure we’re driving more affordable, predictable operations and sustainment outcomes.
9. Global Reach.
The B-21 Raider is pivotal to supporting our nation’s strategic deterrence strategy. In addition to its advanced long-range precision strike capabilities that will afford Combatant Commanders the ability to hold any target, anywhere in the world at risk, it has also been designed as the lead component of a larger family of systems that will deliver intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, electronic attack and multi-domain networking capabilities. In a dynamic global security environment, the B-21 will provide the flexibility and deterrence critical to the security of the U.S. and our allies.
10. Raider.
The B-21 Raider is named in honor of the Doolittle Raid of World War II.
RTX Space-Based Missile Warning System in Full OperationRTX has announced that its newest advanced ground system for space-based missile warning is now fully operational.
The Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution Mission Data Processing Application Framework (FORGE MDPAF) is now being used by the US Space Force’s Overhead Persistent Infrared Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC) to process, exploit, and disseminate information from satellites.
The latest version of FORGE MPDAF can process data from both the space force’s satellite constellation and other civil and environmental sensors.
Raytheon Mission Solutions & Payloads vice president Sandy Brown stated that the system can adapt to the increasing amount of data handed over by satellites.
“FORGE MDPAF is designed to scale in a way that can handle the current volume of missile warning data and grow to support future proliferated space data processing needs,” she said.
The company expects the framework to evolve into a full missile warning detection system in future upgrades.
Missile-Tracking Developments
RTX has worked with the US Army to bolster its air defense against would-be threats in multiple domains.
Last year, it signed a $250-million contract to develop seven missile tracking and warning satellites to observe ballistic and hypersonic launches by China.
The agreement came after recent missile tests from Beijing over the South China Sea.
Other missile warning projects by the company include the development of the AN/SPY-6, an air and missile defense radar system created to bolster the US Navy’s situational awareness at sea.
