RTX focuses on aerospace and defense technology. It designs and manufactures products for commercial aviation and national security, including aircraft engines, avionics and aircraft systems, and missile defense technology. Its products work by powering jets (engines from Pratt & Whitney), enabling flight control and onboard electronics (Collins Aerospace), and providing defense systems and sensors for missiles and surveillance. The company differentiates itself through its large scale and diversified portfolio built from the 2020 merger of Raytheon and UTC, combining a long history in propulsion with advanced defense and aerospace electronics, backed by a deep backlog of orders. RTX’s goal is to deliver trusted, mission-critical technology to both civilian aviation and global defense, maintaining leadership in high-end propulsion, aerospace systems, and defense capabilities.

Raytheon, an RTX business, has installed the first SPY-6(V)4 radar array at the Surface Combat Systems Center at Wallops Island, Virginia. The installation marks a milestone for the US Navy's Flight IIA Destroyer modernisation programme. The land-based test facility will support radar testing and power system integration before installation on USS Pinckney (DDG 91), the first ship scheduled for the SPY-6(V)4 backfit from late 2026 to 2028. Testing will begin later this year and continue through mid-2028. SPY-6 variants are already onboard two commissioned Navy ships, with 11 additional vessels undergoing testing. Over the next decade, more than 50 Navy ships are expected to deploy SPY-6 radars. Raytheon has invested $800 million in manufacturing facilities and aims to double production by 2028.
RTX's Pratt & Whitney has secured a nearly $1.3 billion contract for F135 engine spare parts. The Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract will fund fiscal year 2026 requirements for initial spare parts, deployable packages, depot lay-ins and support equipment for US and international F-35 customers. The F135 engine powers all three variants of the F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft. Pratt & Whitney maintains a global sustainment network supporting 42 bases and 13 ships worldwide. The company has delivered more than 1,500 F135 production engines to customers across 20 allied nations. The upcoming F135 Engine Core Upgrade will leverage the existing sustainment network to provide enhanced capability and fleet readiness.
The US Defense Department announced two seven-year agreements with L3Harris Technologies and Lockheed Martin on 27 July to expand propulsion capacity for Patriot and THAAD interceptors, addressing missile defence system shortages driven by Iran tensions. RTX also benefits as a key contractor and supplier for these systems. L3Harris is up 3% this year, whilst RTX and Lockheed Martin have gained more than 17% and 19% respectively. Lockheed reported Q2 revenue of $20.1 billion, up 11% year over year, with a record backlog of $230 billion. Through its Aerojet Rocketdyne business, L3Harris supplies solid-rocket motors for THAAD and Patriot missiles, benefiting from demand regardless of contract awards.
RTX posted 16% organic sales growth and raised its full-year outlook, pushing shares to 52-week highs. However, management confirmed growth will slow sharply to around 5% in the second half, citing difficult year-over-year comparisons, particularly at Pratt & Whitney. The engine division faces a critical trade-off: new engine sales fell 8% this quarter as the company prioritises material flow to repair shops over production. Management is deliberately redirecting resources to fix the troubled GTF engine fleet, achieving a 25% year-to-date reduction in aircraft-on-ground incidents. Whilst credible, the strategy reveals significant operational constraints and caps near-term excitement despite strong quarterly results.
RTX stock rose 7.6% over the past five trading days whilst the S&P 500 fell 1.7%, following strong Q2 results and a raised full-year outlook. The aerospace and defence company shows a low correlation of 0.4 with the S&P 500 over five years, suggesting its performance is largely driven by its own business rather than broader market movements. RTX holds a record backlog of $289 billion. Q2 organic sales grew 16%, with commercial aftermarket sales up 18% and defence up 16%. The Raytheon division achieved a book-to-bill ratio of 2.42. However, the company faces execution challenges, particularly supply chain constraints. Pratt & Whitney's new commercial engine sales fell 8% as resources were diverted to service existing engines.
