Nuclear weapons

In July 2021, Raytheon Technologies received a $2 billion, 6-year contract from the US Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Eglin Air Force Base for continued development and manufacture of the Long Range Standoff (LRSO) weapons system.4

Collins Aerospace, a Raytheon Technologies unit, will build the secondary launch platform-airborne system for the Sentinel, the new US Ground Based Strategic Deterrent. This key component for nuclear weapons command and control also works with the existing Minuteman III system.5

Raytheon was awarded a contract in 2013 for logistic support, installation, and sustainment of Minuteman MEECN (Minimum Essential Emergency Communication Network) programme and the Minuteman MEECN programme upgrade. The contract is valued at $75 million and will run until at least April 2023. 6

In September 2022, Raytheon was also awarded a contract for the design, development and initial delivery of the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM).7 At this stage of the research and development it is still unclear whether those new missiles will carry a nuclear or conventional payload.
