Raytheon

Raytheon is the defense-focused business of RTX Corporation, with roots in the Raytheon Company founded in 1922 and current work across integrated air and missile defense, missiles, sensors, radars, smart weapons, space systems, and counter-UAS effectors. In this catalog, the Raytheon builder facet connects U.S. and allied systems including Patriot, Tomahawk, AMRAAM, NASAMS effectors, TOW, Javelin components, Standard Missile interceptors, Stinger, Coyote, and Paveway guidance kits.

63 weapons

Raytheon's catalog role is centered on guided weapons, air-defense architectures, missile interceptors, sensors, and naval or air-launched precision munitions. The modern Raytheon business sits inside RTX Corporation, while the catalog keeps the shorter Raytheon name because many weapon records and sources use it for both legacy Raytheon Company programs and current RTX Raytheon product lines.

The company lineage matters for older systems. Raytheon Company merged with United Technologies in 2020 to form Raytheon Technologies Corporation, then RTX reorganized in 2023 into three principal business segments: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. The Raytheon segment now groups much of the company's government-facing defense portfolio, including air and missile defense, smart weapons, radars, interceptors, counter-UAS systems, and advanced missile-defense work.
