RTX's BBN Technologies unveils auto-switching system that keeps critical data aliveMay 20, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) PACE4ACE automatically reroutes network traffic in contested environments to ensure uninterrupted communicationsCAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RTX's (NYSE: RTX) BBN Technologies, with funding from the Air Force Research Laboratory, has demonstrated a self-healing system that provides continuous, secure data flow for combat air support even when underlying networks are jammed, fragmented or unavailable.The system is designed to operate across a diverse range of military and commercial communication pathways, from satellite links to low-power tactical radios. Using the Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency for Agile Combat Employment (PACE4ACE) architecture, the system automatically selects the best available link and reroutes traffic without operator input. "For warfighters on the ground and in the cockpit, PACE4ACE helps ensure critical data never disappears, even under jamming," said Dr. Sam Nelson, principal investigator at RTX BBN Technologies. "The network self-heals, so crews can focus on the mission instead of troubleshooting communications."During the exercise, four geographically dispersed sites remained connected. When any of the high-capacity links were jammed, the system instantly switched to the next viable waveform, maintaining situational awareness and keeping Open Mission Systems and Team Awareness Kit applications synchronized.  PACE4ACE offers advanced capabilities engineered to enhance operational efficiency and reliability, including:Resilient, self-healing communications, providing continuity if a link is disrupted.Compact, low SWaP architecture, suited for space- and power-constrained systems.Multiband support, enabling the use of diverse communication channels.Plug-and-play integration, simplifying setup with common mission systems.  Dynamic, real-time routing, helping maintain performance as conditions change. The demonstration validates the Agile Combat Employment, or ACE, concept for the U.S. Air Force, showing that dispersed, contested air support units can maintain secure communications across any combination of satellite, radio or low-power links.Work on PACE4ACE is being conducted in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Long-range radios used in the test were supplied by the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition in Pensacola, Florida, while high-frequency support was provided by Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, in Ottawa, Canada.This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command under Contract No. FA8750-20-C-0544.

The Defense Industrial Base Is Ramping at a Generational Pace -- and a Florida Air-Launch Operator Just Built the Engineering Layer to Fit Into ItMay 19, 2026 8:35 AM
PR Newswire (US) Issued on behalf of Starfighters Space, Inc.Record backlogs, raised guidance, Department of War strategic investments in propulsion capacity, multi-year framework agreements, and a $1 trillion-plus defense procurement environment are defining 2026. Starfighters Space (NYSE American: FJET) just engaged Integrated Launch Solutions to add launch, range, licensing and mission integration depth to its STARLAUNCH pathway as the U.S. defense and commercial space markets converge into a single capacity-constrained opportunity.CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary — Strip away the press cycle and the defining feature of the 2026 defense and space landscape is straightforward: the customer is no longer the constraint. The Pentagon has the funding, the program authority, and the political mandate. The senior primes have the order book. What the entire system now needs is delivery capacity — the production lines, the integration engineering, the range coordination, the licensing throughput, and the operational tempo required to convert backlog into hardware on the ramp. That is the structural backdrop for the latest move from Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE American: FJET), the Cape Canaveral-based operator of the world's fastest fleet of commercial supersonic aircraft. The Company announced it has engaged Integrated Launch Solutions, Inc. ("ILS") to provide engineering and technical integration support as Starfighters advances the STARLAUNCH pathway from design and analysis toward flight and launch services. [1]ILS will serve as an extension of the Starfighters team, providing subject matter expertise across mission design, analysis, and simulation; systems engineering and technical integration; regulatory and safety compliance; and range integration. [1] The work is expected to support program planning, requirements definition, trajectory analysis, licensing strategy, range coordination and related integration activities. The ILS resource pool brings experience from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, United Launch Alliance, SpaceX and the U.S. Air Force, with prior work supporting the U.S. Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Office, NASA and commercial customers.For more information on Starfighters Space, read the entire USA News Group Report"STARLAUNCH is a pathway, and the pathway depends on execution," said Tim Franta, Chief Executive Officer of Starfighters Space, in the announcement. He framed the engagement as adding "process discipline and execution capacity required to expedite space launch development from concept through flight readiness." [1] The ILS work layers on top of the appointments earlier this month of Jose Arias as Vice President, Space Operations, and Catrina L. Medeiros as Director, STARLAUNCH Operations — both senior leaders drawn from Blue Origin's New Glenn program. [2]What makes this move materially significant is not the engagement itself — it is the scale of the demand environment Starfighters is building into. Across the senior aerospace and defense complex, Q1 2026 prints have been defined by record backlogs and explicit commentary on capacity expansion as the binding constraint.RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX) reported Q1 2026 sales of $22.1 billion on April 21, 2026, up 9% versus the prior year and up 10% organically. [3] Raytheon booked $6.6 billion of awards in the quarter, including over $600 million for Patriot equipment to the Netherlands and more than $400 million from the U.S. Army for lower-tier air and missile defense sensors, with an additional $900 million in awards for Standard Missile and Tomahawk. Munitions output grew over 40% year-over-year, and Raytheon posted its 12th consecutive quarter of material growth. [4] CEO Chris Calio described five "landmark framework agreements" Raytheon signed with the Department of War for Tomahawk, AMRAAM, and the Standard Missile family — agreements management said would, once finalized, provide firm demand signals to support production ramps "well above existing rates over the next decade." [4] RTX raised its full-year 2026 outlook for adjusted sales and adjusted EPS on the print.L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: LHX) reported Q1 2026 revenue of $5.74 billion on April 30, 2026 — up 12% year-over-year, with organic revenue growth of 15% — and posted contractual backlog of $40.7 billion, with a book-to-bill ratio for the quarter of 1.4. [5] Management raised full-year EPS guidance to $11.40 to $11.60. [6] In April, the Company closed a $1.0 billion strategic investment from the Department of War in its Missile Solutions (MSL) business, structured as a convertible preferred security to convert into equity at IPO. [5][6] The funds are earmarked for expanding and modernizing solid rocket motor production facilities in Camden, Arkansas; Huntsville, Alabama; and Orange, Virginia — facilities critical to manufacturing PAC-3, THAAD, Tomahawk, and Standard Missile systems. The carve-out missile entity has been named Axyv following a confidential S-1 filing, with the IPO targeting the second half of 2026. [6] L3Harris also disclosed the Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) successfully demonstrated tracking against a hypersonic target. [7]The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) reported Q1 2026 revenue of $22.2 billion on April 22, 2026, with the Defense, Space & Security segment posting revenue of $7.6 billion — up 21% year-over-year — and operating margins improving to 3.1%. [8] During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security signed a seven-year framework agreement to expand PAC-3 Seeker production and announced a strategic partnership with Rheinmetall to offer the MQ-28 Ghost Bat to Germany. [8] In April 2026, the Boeing-built Space Launch System core stage rocket propelled the successful Artemis II mission to the Moon. [9] Backlog at Defense, Space & Security grew to a record $86 billion, with 27% representing orders from customers outside the U.S. On the earnings call, management noted higher demand in defense given increased operational tempo, framing it as a natural offset to potential commercial MRO weakness. [10]Voyager Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: VOYG) — a defense and space technology company best known for leading development of Starlab, the commercial space station being developed as a replacement for the ISS — has been positioning aggressively in the defense and national security segments. The Company priced its IPO at $31 per share in June 2025, raising $383 million, and saw shares close at $56.48 on the day of its public debut. [11] In its Q1 2026 print reported May 4, 2026, Voyager delivered net sales of $35.2 million and grew total backlog to a record $275.3 million, up 54% year-over-year, with first-quarter bookings of $45.2 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3. [12] On the strength of that backlog, the Company raised its 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $230 million to $255 million, representing 39% to 53% year-over-year growth. [12] Voyager ended the quarter with $429.4 million in cash and total liquidity of $641.4 million. Starlab achieved four NASA milestones and received $24.0 million in NASA funding during the period. [12] Voyager also secured NASA's seventh Private Astronaut Mission in April 2026, designated VOYG-1, with launch targeted no earlier than 2028, and was awarded a contract with Raytheon to develop advanced technologies for the Standard Missile interceptor program. [13]What is most striking about RTX, L3Harris, Boeing's defense business, and Voyager is that none of these stories sits in isolation. They reflect a single thesis: in 2026, the U.S. defense industrial base is being asked to ramp production at a pace it has not been asked to deliver since the Cold War, and the bottleneck has moved from contract availability to integration capacity, range and licensing throughput, and operational tempo.For more information on Starfighters Space, read the entire USA News Group ReportThat is the gap Starfighters Space is positioning to address.The Asset, the Bench, and the Process Layer Now Behind STARLAUNCHStarfighters Space operates a fleet of seven modified F-104 supersonic aircraft from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, configured to act as a first-stage lifting platform that can carry payloads up to 45,000 feet for air launch to space. [1] The Company is the operator of the largest fleet of MACH 2+ capable aircraft in the world, and the only commercial operator capable of flying payloads at sustained MACH 2+ with the capability to launch those payloads to space. Its customer base includes Lockheed Martin, Meggitt, Space Florida, and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory.STARLAUNCH 1 is being developed as a sub-orbital vehicle designed to support short-duration microgravity missions and to serve as a pathfinder for future air-launched concepts. The Company has reported wind tunnel testing that demonstrated clean separation from the aircraft platform, followed by a Critical Design Review process. [1] Starfighters' Wind Tunnel in the Sky service uses the F-104 to fly as an airborne wind tunnel — a single 45-minute mission generates the equivalent of approximately 20 traditional 30-second ground wind tunnel runs, compressing what would otherwise take about ten days in a fixed-facility into less than an hour. [2]The ILS engagement now adds a deep bench of launch, range, licensing and mission integration experience, with prior work supporting the U.S. Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Office, NASA and commercial customers. [1] The recent Blue Origin appointments — Jose Arias and Catrina L. Medeiros — bring direct New Glenn program experience and, in Mr. Arias's case, a documented track record of compressing integration cycle time from 76 days to 13 days at Blue Origin. [2]This is what the assembly of an operationally proven team looks like when the underlying market is the U.S. defense, civil, and commercial space economy in a record-spending environment. The senior primes have signaled the demand. The Department of War has signaled the dollars. The framework agreements are in place. The bottleneck is execution.Starfighters Space (NYSE American: FJET) is building, in real time, the operational stack required to be one of the names that closes the gap.For more information on Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE American: FJET), visit usanewsgroup.com/fjet-landingCONTACT:USA News Group

RTX's Raytheon awarded contract to further develop next-generation software-defined radar capabilityMay 18, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) New software gives naval radars multi-mission flexibility and improved spectrum sharing with 5GARLINGTON, Va., May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has been awarded a contract from the Office of Naval Research to further develop advanced radar software for next-generation naval radars.Under the contract, Raytheon's Advanced Technology team will develop software that enables each building block within a radar to operate independently, allowing a single radar to perform multiple missions simultaneously. By treating each building block as its own software-defined aperture, the radar can rapidly adapt to changing operational needs and better share crowded frequency bands with commercial networks such as 5G."The electromagnetic spectrum is more crowded than ever, and our systems have to be smarter about how they operate in it," said Colin Whelan, president of Advanced Technology at Raytheon. "With precise, software-driven control over where and how we radiate, we're taking an important step forward in how we use software-defined apertures to keep pace with evolving mission demands."Building on Raytheon's long-standing work in software-defined apertures, this flexible, modular architecture delivers capability enhancements through software rather than hardware redesign. This approach allows radar performance to be adapted and expanded over time with greater speed, lower cost, and reduced risk.Once the software development is complete, Raytheon will conduct a series of demonstrations to validate independent control of radar modules and associated capabilities such as multi-mission operation and spectrum sharing. Upon successful validation, the technology is expected to be transitioned into operational naval radar systems.About Raytheon

Adjusted net income* of $2.4 billion was up 22 percent versus the prior year driven by adjusted segment operating profit growth* across all three segments as well as lower interest and tax expense. Operating cash flow in the first quarter was $1.9 billion and capital expenditures were $0.5 billion, resulting in free cash flow* of $1.3 billion.*Adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted segment sales, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), adjusted EPS and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS and expected cash flow from operations) is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this Appendix. Certain non-GAAP financial adjustments are also described in this Appendix. Below are our non-GAAP financial measures:Non-GAAP measureDefinitionAdjusted net sales /
Adjusted salesRepresents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding net significant and/or non-recurring items1 (hereinafter referred to as "net significant and/or non-recurring items").Organic salesOrganic sales represents the change in consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and net significant and/or non-recurring items.Adjusted operating
profit (loss) and margin
percentage (ROS) Adjusted operating profit (loss) represents operating profit (loss) (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments2, and net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted operating profit margin percentage represents adjusted operating profit (loss) as a percentage of adjusted net sales.Segment operating
profit (loss) and margin
percentage (ROS) Segment operating profit (loss) represents operating profit (loss) (a GAAP measure) excluding acquisition accounting adjustments2, the FAS/CAS operating adjustment3, Corporate expenses and other unallocated items, and Eliminations and other. Segment operating profit margin percentage represents segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of segment sales (net sales, excluding Eliminations and other).Adjusted segment salesRepresents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure) excluding eliminations and other and net significant and/or non-recurring items.Adjusted segment
operating profit (loss)
and margin percentage (ROS) Adjusted segment operating profit (loss) represents segment operating profit (loss) excluding restructuring costs, and net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted segment operating profit margin percentage represents adjusted segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of adjusted segment sales (adjusted net sales excluding Eliminations and other).Adjusted net incomeAdjusted net income represents net income (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments2, and net significant and/or non-recurring items.Adjusted earnings per share (EPS)Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments2, and net significant and/or non-recurring items.Adjusted effective tax rateAdjusted effective tax rate represents the effective tax rate (a GAAP measure), excluding the tax impact of restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments2, and net significant and/or non-recurring items.Free cash flow Free cash flow represents cash flow from operating activities (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing RTX's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of RTX's common stock, and distribution of earnings to shareowners.1 Net significant and/or non-recurring items represent significant nonoperational items and/or significant operational items that may occur at irregular intervals.
2 Acquisition accounting adjustments include the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, the amortization of the property, plant and equipment fair value adjustment acquired through acquisitions, the amortization of customer contractual obligations related to loss making or below market contracts acquired, and goodwill impairment, if applicable. 
3 The FAS/CAS operating adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and postretirement benefit (PRB) expense under the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements of GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) primarily related to our Raytheon segment.When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted EPS, adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow, on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures, as described above, generally are not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains statements which, to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" under the securities laws.

Management has determined that the nature of this impact related to the tax matter is considered significant and non-operational, and, therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.Media Contact

RTX's Pratt & Whitney engine powers Northrop Grumman's YFQ-48A Talon Blue autonomous wingmanApril 17, 2026 11:17 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Commercial engine technology adapted for CCA mission requirementsEAST HARTFORD, Conn., April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, is providing the propulsion system for Northrop Grumman's YFQ-48A Talon Blue Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA). A member of Pratt & Whitney's PW500 engine family is integrated into the aircraft and is ready to power flight tests. Pratt & Whitney worked in close collaboration with Northrop Grumman on engine requirements and integration, while also undertaking an extensive engine test program to expand the commercial limits of its PW500 engine family for Talon Blue. This testing simulated flight and operational conditions unique to CCA missions and resulted in favorable thrust, range and operability results."Leveraging commercial technology allowed us to innovate faster, while balancing cost and critical performance enhancements for the CCA mission," said Peter Sommerkorn, vice president of Military Development Programs at Pratt & Whitney. "The Pratt & Whitney team took a production engine, with more than 24.5 million flight hours, self-invested in key validation and capability improvement, and integrated it into Talon Blue."The PW500 engine family is one of several in-production commercial engines available to address the broad spectrum of CCA aircraft in development today. In addition to domestic pursuits, Pratt & Whitney is also on contract with an international customer and discussing additional opportunities with airframers.About Pratt & Whitney

The transformational solution reimagines an underutilized location into an elevated passenger retreatHAMBURG, Germany, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has been named winner of a 2026 Crystal Cabin Award for its SkyNook solution, a semi-private retreat located at the aft of a widebody aircraft. The Crystal Cabin Award is presented annually as part of Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany.Presented first prize in the Passenger Comfort category, Collins' SkyNook solution reclaims commonly underutilized space in the final row of twin aisle aircraft where fuselages narrow and frequently require double seat installation rather than the standard triple. The system deploys a convertible console into this often-unused area between the aircraft wall and seat, providing a location to safely secure a car seat, bassinet, pet carrier, or flex for an extended work and dining surface."Our team of cabin experience designers are persistent in their dedication to iterating and reimagining cabin solutions that leverage every square inch of space to improve air travel for passengers, airlines and crew members," said Jefferey McKee, director of Customer Experience Design at Collins Aerospace. "SkyNook exemplifies this commitment, transforming a frequently overlooked area into a serene retreat that maximizes functionality, comfort and flexibility for families, passengers with service animals or those with sensory considerations."SkyNook also comes equipped with a privacy divider, not only providing a visual barrier from the aisle and adjacent passengers, but also sound dampening from galley and lavatory areas.With the win, Collins has now claimed 16 Crystal Cabin Awards in the 20-year history of the program. Demonstrations of SkyNook are taking place this week in the Collins Aerospace booth at Aircraft Interiors Expo.About Collins Aerospace

RTX's BBN Technologies launches open-source tool to validate covert cyber networksApril 1, 2026 10:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

DARPA-funded Maude-HCS rapidly validates hidden communicationsCAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RTX's (NYSE: RTX) BBN Technologies has released Maude-HCS, an open-source toolkit that enables cyber defense teams to model, test and validate covert communication networks. Funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under its PWND2 program, the toolkit is available on GitHub and provides fast, reliable and scalable performance, allowing teams to accelerate innovation, validate designs and deploy in real-world environments.  "Maude-HCS provides users a rigorous yet practical way to validate performance-privacy guarantees of hidden communication designs before they ever touch the wire," said Dr. Joud Khoury, principal investigator at RTX BBN Technologies. "This capability has the potential to fundamentally change how the national security community builds and validates covert communication channels."Why covert communication networks matterHidden communication systems embed covert messages into ordinary network activity with the goal of concealing not only the content of the communication but also its very existence, so an observer sees only routine traffic. These systems are critical to both internet freedom and national security efforts, enabling journalists and U.S. armed forces, for example, to exchange information safely in high-risk or contested environments where overt communications might be monitored or blocked. Since the detection of a hidden channel can endanger lives and compromise missions, it is essential to ensure these systems remain both effective and undetectable.How Maude-HCS solves the problemProvides rigorous guarantees on performance, scalability and privacy: predicts latency, data rate and how long the system can operate without being detected, with just 1% to 9% error compared with a controlled experimental deployment — confirming that the channel meets mission requirements while remaining invisible.Accelerates validation: replaces weeks of trial-and-error testing with automated analysis that delivers results in hours.Operates on standard computing hardware: scales log-linearly with model size, including the number of messages exchanged in the network, to handle enterprise-scale traffic on a single eight-core server.Enables open-source collaboration: allows universities, industry partners and government labs to reproduce results and extend the toolkit, reducing development cycles from months to days.By delivering measurable, verifiable pre-deployment performance, Maude-HCS strengthens U.S. cyber defense, protects critical infrastructure and maintains operational advantage in contested environments. Research related to Maude-HCS is available as a pre-print on arXiv. About RTX BBN Technologies

China's Rare Earth Grip on the U.S. Military Is About to BreakMarch 2, 2026 9:58 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

OilPrice.com Market CommentaryNEW YORK, March 2, 2026 /CNW/ -- In a typical Chinese rare earth processing plant, 200 workers move through a maze of massive chemical tanks, risking life and limb to produce the materials that power everything from fighter jets and missile components to cellphones.  Hundreds of these facilities operate across China, and they give Beijing overwhelming control over the single most critical choke point in the modern industrial economy.  Companies mentioned in this release include: REalloys Inc. (ALOY), Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT), RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX), The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA), Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC), General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD).But now, in Saskatchewan, Canada, a hi-tech plant of engineers and chemists is beginning to break that monopoly.The facility is built around an AI enabled operating system that minimizes waste, reduces exposure to hazardous materials, and creates a cleaner, more secure processing chain.And one company has locked in exclusive rights to the vast majority of what that plant produces.  That company is REalloys (ALOY).It operates in the part of the rare earth supply chain that barely exists outside China - the step where strategic independence is actually won or lost.As President Trump pointed out, it isn't rare earths that are critical to national security, it's the "rare processing" industry.Digging minerals out of the ground is relatively easy. Turning them into finished metals and alloys for fighter jets, drones, missile guidance systems, and advanced radar is something else entirely. That's where Western supply chains break down, and where REalloys is fighting to make a difference.The company operates its own metallization facility in Euclid, Ohio, built on nearly a decade of R&D with the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense. It also holds an exclusive offtake agreement with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC), the government-backed group behind the AI-powered processing plant.Here's how the chain works: SRC refines rare earth feedstock sourced from allied nations across four continents. REalloys takes delivery in Ohio, converts those metals into defense-grade alloys and magnets, and has confirmed contracts with the U.S. defense industrial base.Every critical step happens on North American soil - with no Chinese chemicals, no Chinese technology, and no Chinese capital.As REalloys' Head of R&D, Andy Sherman, puts it: "Concentrates are commodities. Materials are commitments."The Pentagon doesn't buy rocks. It buys finished, defense-qualified materials.And that's exactly what this supply chain delivers.How China Accidentally Created Its Biggest CompetitionWhen REalloys (ALOY) processing partner began developing its first commercial rare earth separation facility, China controlled the overwhelming majority of global export technology. Following China's 2020 export control law, access to that technology became restricted.So the team ultimately designed and built its own separation, control and automation systems domestically – establishing independent Western rare earth processing capability.What they ended up with was an alternative to Chinese technology with better output and without the supply chain risk. As a result, the facility has automated the most labor-intensive step of rare earth processing, separating up to 17 chemically similar elements into the specific rare earths you need.In a Chinese plant, this process requires over 200 workers managing chemical tanks and adjusting valves manually. The Saskatchewan facility was able to reduce this by approximately 80 workers and an AI that receives thousands of data points every second and can make the necessary adjustments  that no human team could coordinate.The plant was deliberately built at about 25-30% the capacity of a full-scale Chinese commercial facility, essentially a demonstration plant to prove the technology. At a fraction of the size, however, it already has the capability to produce much higher purity metals and higher output than Chinese plants.Commercial production is expected to start in early 2027, once the plant reaches full production REalloys (ALOY) expects to receive approximately 460 tonnes of defense-grade rare earth metals per year. That material becomes the permanent magnets inside the next generation of Western defense systems like fighter jets, missiles, and drones.Why This Matters Right NowMost people have heard that China dominates the rare earths market, about 90% of the world's rare earths are processed there. What they haven't thought through is what that actually means when the supply gets cut off.Japan figured this out decades ago and built strategic stockpiles covering two to three years of national consumption. The United States, however, has stockpiled nothing. Neither has Europe.We've been running on just-in-time supply from a country that issues rare earth export licenses on a monthly basis. If Beijing is happy with you this month, you get your allocation. If they're not, they cut it.When China briefly restricted exports last year, a Ford plant was forced to shut down almost immediately. When Trump threatened 100% tariffs, China's response was simple: no more processed rare earths. Trump backed off very quickly.Now consider the effects on the military side. In 2024, Ukraine produced 1.2 million combat drones, every single magnet in every one of them was manufactured in China. An F-35 carries 435 kilos of rare earths. A next-gen U.S. destroyer needs 4.5 tons. A nuclear submarine needs 1.5 tons.Without a secure supply of these materials, none of those systems get built, which means China effectively holds a kill switch over Western defense production.The Pentagon knows it, too. That's why new procurement rules taking effect January 1, 2027, will ban Chinese-sourced rare earths from the entire U.S. defense supply chain, from the mine all the way through to the finished product. That means every defense contractor in the country will need a qualified, non-Chinese source. REalloys is positioning to be that source."1% Reliance on China Is 100% Reliance on China"There's a reality in the rare earth industry that most companies haven't seemed to fully consider: 1% reliance on China is 100% reliance on China. If any single input in your supply chain comes from Beijing, your entire operation is one phone call away from shutting down. REalloys' (ALOY) supply chain has no Chinese inputs at any stage, processing technology, furnaces, chemicals, AI systems, or consumables. All of it is sourced outside China.Most of the competition can't say the same. You can mine rare earths in the U.S., build your own processing plant, and still be one supply disruption away from a shutdown. That's because critical parts like graphite anodes need replacing several times a week, and right now they only come from China. Starting from zero, it would realistically take five to seven years to build what REalloys already has.What Makes This Opportunity DifferentREalloys has exclusive rights to defense-grade rare earth metals through the Saskatchewan facility, including the heavy rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, that dramatically increase a magnet's performance. Light rare earths go into washing machines and consumer EVs. Heavy rare earths, on the other hand, go into F-35 fighter jet engines and missile guidance systems. REalloys plays the scarcer, more strategically critical end of the market, at a fraction of the valuation.Their Ohio facility converts those metals into finished alloys and magnets, and scaled production is expected to scale up to 18,000 tonnes per year of heavy rare earth permanent magnets. At that level, REalloys expects to become the largest producer of refined Dysprosium and Terbium outside of China.Washington has taken notice as well. REalloys has secured a $200 million letter of intent from the U.S. EXIM Bank. And the board reads less like a commodities company and more like a national security briefing, including a former Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, the President of GM Defense, an executive formerly from top defense companies like Raytheon and Boeing, the former Premier of Saskatchewan, and the President of Palantir Canada.The Pentagon's deadline is now months away, while competitors are still 5 to 7 years behind. REalloys (ALOY) expects to be the only company with a fully operational, non-Chinese, mine-to-magnet supply chain when it arrives, powered by six people and an AI that outperforms plants with 80 workers on the floor.Despite what most believe, the rare earth story was never about who has the raw material in the ground. It's about who can turn the raw material into something the Pentagon can actually use, and right now, that answer seems to be REalloys.Here are other companies in the defense sector that people should be watching closely over the coming months:Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT) remains the backbone of the U.S. defense industrial base, anchored by its leadership in advanced combat aircraft, missile systems, and integrated air and missile defense. The company's F-35 Lightning II program continues to serve as the single largest weapons system program in the world, supplying not only the U.S. military but also a growing list of allied nations.Beyond fighter jets, Lockheed is deeply embedded in missile defense architecture through systems such as THAAD and PAC-3 interceptors, both of which have seen rising demand amid renewed Middle East and Indo-Pacific tensions.RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX), formed from the merger of Raytheon and United Technologies, has evolved into one of the most diversified defense and aerospace platforms globally. Its portfolio spans missile defense systems, advanced radars, aircraft engines, avionics, and cybersecurity solutions, giving it exposure across air, land, sea, and space domains.Raytheon's Patriot missile system remains one of the most widely deployed air defense platforms worldwide and has seen renewed demand amid heightened missile threats. RTX has also benefited from increased orders for interceptors and replenishment contracts, particularly as governments seek to strengthen layered defense systems.The company has recently focused on stabilizing margins following supply chain disruptions and cost overruns that impacted certain aerospace programs. With backlog levels remaining robust, RTX's revenue visibility remains strong, supported by long-term government contracts and allied defense procurement.While The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) is widely known for commercial aviation, its defense, space, and security division remains a cornerstone of U.S. military procurement. The company manufactures the P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, the KC-46 aerial refueling tanker, Apache helicopters, and various satellite and space systems critical to U.S. defense infrastructure.As geopolitical tensions elevate demand for surveillance, refueling capacity, and integrated aerospace systems, Boeing's defense division provides an important stabilizing component to the broader company profile. While commercial aviation cycles remain volatile, Boeing's defense segment ensures long-duration contract visibility and sustained Pentagon exposure.Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) occupies a critical role in high-end aerospace and strategic systems. The company is the prime contractor for the B-21 Raider stealth bomber, one of the most strategically significant modernization programs in the U.S. Air Force's history. That program alone provides decades of potential production and sustainment revenue.Northrop also leads in unmanned aerial systems, missile defense integration, and space-based sensor technologies. Its exposure to next-generation aerospace and advanced stealth platforms places it at the center of U.S. long-term deterrence strategy.General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD) combines shipbuilding, combat vehicles, aerospace, and IT systems under one diversified umbrella. The company's Electric Boat division produces Virginia-class submarines and Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines — programs that anchor U.S. naval deterrence.Recent submarine contracts extend production visibility well into the next decade, while geopolitical tensions continue to emphasize naval force projection and undersea capability.

RTX's Raytheon to accelerate domestic supply of critical material for commercial and defense applicationsFebruary 17, 2026 8:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Initiative aims to decrease reliance on foreign marketsARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, was awarded a contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop a domestic production capability for thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) wafers, a material essential to high-speed, secure communications and advanced sensing systems.TFLN is used in next-generation photonics for many defense applications and a broad set of commercial applications, including AI and computing technologies, data centers, and telecommunications. With supply currently dominated by foreign sources, Raytheon aims to ensure the U.S. has a secure, domestic alternative that will be available to the entire defense industrial base and commercial industries."Global access to TFLN has become increasingly constrained, with supply consolidation leaving U.S. companies vulnerable to international disruptions," said Colin Whelan, president of Advanced Technology at Raytheon. "Through this effort, Raytheon will stand up an independent U.S. supplier of next-generation TFLN, building an open, third-party source that can serve a broad range of defense and commercial customers."Under the contract, Raytheon's Advanced Technology team will leverage its expertise in ion slicing to assist US-based company G&H in developing the process for manufacturing high-quality TFLN wafers. Once the process is established, production will transition to G&H in early 2026, who will manufacture the TFLN wafers at low-rate initial production. Raytheon and G&H will continue to collaborate closely to ensure successful technology transfer and production readiness."Establishing G&H as a robust, domestic merchant supplier of thin film lithium niobate is essential for creating next-generation faster and more efficient photonic transmission and sensing systems," said Dr. Stratos Kehayas, president, Photonics at G&H. "G&H's vertically integrated crystal and wafer manufacturing capabilities enable the reliable transition of this technology into U.S.-based production, strengthening supply chain resilience for both defense and commercial applications."About Raytheon
