Defense Giant Commits to Increased Production of Key Missile Systems

RTX has announced a plan with the Pentagon to increase production of five key munitions, including the Tomahawk cruise missile and AMRAAM air-to-air missile. The agreements, which are the first between RTX’s Raytheon weapons unit and the Trump administration, aim to ramp up production to meet growing demand. Under the terms of the deals, Raytheon will increase annual production of Tomahawks to more than 1,000 and AMRAAMs to at least 1,900. The company will also increase production of the Standard Missile-6 and accelerate production of the Standard Missile-3 IIA and IB. The agreements were reported by Breaking Defense.
