RTX Corporation
RTX Corporation, formed by the 2020 Raytheon-UTC merger, unites Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon under one company.
RTX Corporation is a large aerospace and defense company formed in April 2020 through the merger of Raytheon Company and the aerospace businesses of United Technologies Corporation (UTC); the combined entity traded initially as Raytheon Technologies Corporation and was renamed RTX Corporation in July 2023. RTX trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker RTX and moved its corporate headquarters from Waltham, Massachusetts to Arlington, Virginia in July 2022, with its current address listed as 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA. The company reported approximately 186,000 employees in 2024. RTX organizes its operations into three principal businesses: Collins Aerospace, which supplies aerospace systems and components; Pratt & Whitney, which designs and manufactures aircraft engines and propulsion systems; and Raytheon, which develops defense, space, and radar technologies, including missile systems and defense radar systems referenced on the company's own site. The Raytheon lineage traces back to 1922, when the original Raytheon Company was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Laurence K. Marshall, Vannevar Bush, and Charles G. Smith, giving the combined modern company over a century of institutional history on the defense and radar side even though the RTX corporate entity itself is only a few years old. The company describes its scale using the figure of 250 factories and roughly 60,000 engineers across its businesses, supporting both commercial aviation customers (airframers and airlines relying on Pratt & Whitney engines and Collins Aerospace systems) and government and military customers relying on Raytheon's defense and space technologies. RTX maintains operating bases across the globe, including in Poland, Australia, and Singapore, reflecting its position as a major supplier to NATO and allied defense programs as well as commercial aerospace supply chains. As a diversified aerospace and defense conglomerate rather than a dedicated robotics company, RTX's most directly robotics-and-autonomy-relevant capabilities sit within Raytheon's radar, sensing, and defense-systems portfolio, which includes perception and detection technologies used in missile defense and situational-awareness systems, alongside broader aircraft propulsion and aerostructures businesses under Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace. In August 2026, the company raised its full-year outlook after reporting strong second-quarter sales and earnings growth, indicating continued expansion in both its commercial aerospace and defense segments. RTX maintains official LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and YouTube accounts for corporate communications, alongside dedicated newsroom, investor relations, and corporate responsibility sections on its website.
