As National Apprenticeship Week draws to a close, find out what aircraft engineer Millie enjoyed most about her apprenticeship: #Apprenticeship #FutureWorkforce

Did you know? Almost a quarter of our 242 STEM Ambassadors came from an apprenticeship and/or graduate programme background. Alongside our RTX colleagues across Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney, we’re celebrating them this #NationalApprenticeshipWeek! Find out how apprenticeships shaped some of their early career experiences in aerospace engineering, and how they continue to ignite a passion for STEM. https://rtxcorp.co/4gBq0Mo

Last week, we held our first Integrated Air & Missile Defence (IAMD) symposium. Thank you to our host Dr Peter Roberts, and to all of our esteemed speakers and guests who joined us for a productive conversation on this crucial aspect of our national defence. If you weren’t able to make it on the day, here are three key takeaways you need to know: 1️⃣ Decisive action must be taken now to enhance Britain’s IAMD capabilities. Modern-day improvements in technology mean that threats have increased in range, speed, size, spread, and co-ordination. We can no longer rely on traditional assumptions about geographical advantages. 2️⃣ The key goal of IAMD must be to effectively deter adversaries through increasing Britain’s resilience in mindset and infrastructure. Whilst investment in IAMD is expensive, failure to deter is significantly more so. 3️⃣ IAMD is an ecosystem - not a single system or process. It encompasses active and passive air defences as well as offensive counter-air missions, with each element playing a critical role. Military, politicians and public all have a role to play in keeping our skies safe.

Romania's commitment to enhancing its defence capabilities with the procurement of additional Patriot air defence systems protects their critical national infrastructure and bolsters NATO's collective security. Providing the foundation of air defence for 19 countries, including 8 NATO members, Patriot is the only combat-proven ground-based air and missile defence capability in the world able to defend against advanced long-range cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, and the full spectrum of air-breathing threats.

Breaking news >> LOCI – our Low Earth Orbit observation system - generated over 90,000 observations in December 👀. That’s twice our previous record! Congratulations to our NORSS team, who successfully doubled our observation record thanks to several software and system upgrades. Those observations were on over 9,000 unique satellites – itself an increase of around a third 🛰️. We’re looking forward to breaking more records, and generating more intelligent data, throughout 2025. #RaytheonNORSS #LowEarthOrbit #SpaceDomainAwareness

As we round off 2024, we’re reflecting on some of the key milestones we’ve achieved this year, including: 👉 Marking a UK-first, hitting moving aerial targets with Raytheon’s High Energy Laser Weapons System from a military vehicle 👉 Our national Quadcopter Challenge reaching over 150 schools in the UK 👉 The Command and Staff Training team supporting 12,000 soldiers from the British Army for major international exercise Cerberus in Germany …Thank you to our team - you made this happen! Watch below for five of our 2024 highlights >>>

Lightweight. Effective. Operationally ready. It’s been a phenomenal year for our High Energy Laser weapons system. In July, we brought you the news that Dstl test-fired the laser from a British Army Wolfhound armoured vehicle - the first laser weapon fired from a land vehicle in the UK. Now we can reveal the latest update: The system has been fired by the British Army for the first time! This latest milestone of the UK trial saw soldiers successfully use the laser to track and neutralise moving targets. James Gray, Raytheon UK Chief Executive, said: “The success of this test is the result of the skill, dedication, and vision of our scientists and engineers who have collaborated with the British Army to help fulfil its commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation.”
