\n Contract accelerates production of critical precision-strike weapon<\/i>
\n <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

\n TUCSON, Ariz.<\/span>, Aug. 17, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, will dramatically accelerate the production of Tomahawk cruise missiles for the U.S. Navy over the multi-year period under the terms of an unprecedented $22.9 billion contract, awarded as part of the Department of War’s Arsenal of Freedom.<\/p>\n

This contract follows\u00a0the landmark agreements<\/a>\u00a0between Raytheon and the Department of War and supports the annual production ramp to more than 1,000 Tomahawk missiles and associated support, ensuring a stable, predictable supply for the Navy and allies.<\/p>\n

“Tomahawk is the Navy’s most important strike weapon, able to target hostile forces hundreds of miles away without ever risking the lives of our sailors,” said Raytheon President Phil Jasper.\u00a0 “We are making significant investments in our workforce, technology, supply chain and facilities to dramatically boost production capacity and meet surging demand.”<\/p>\n

RTX\u00a0has invested heavily in recent years to ramp production of Tomahawk and other critical munitions, delivering three times more Tomahawks in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025. With this contract, RTX will increase capacity and collaborate closely with hundreds of small and mid-sized suppliers nationwide to rapidly scale output to meet long-term needs.<\/p>\n

Tomahawk cruise missiles remain one of the U.S. military’s most proven and versatile long range strike capabilities. With a decades\u2011long record of operational performance, Tomahawk provides military leaders with reliable, flexible options against high value targets from a variety of launch platforms.<\/p>\n
