Can RAM Missile Demand Support RTX's Defense Growth Outlook?

RTX Corporation RTX is well-positioned to benefit from rising demand for naval missile defense as the U.S. Navy and allied forces seek to strengthen protection against increasingly advanced airborne threats. The company's Raytheon business has a long-standing role in the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) program, supporting the continued production and sustainment of the system. RAM provides ships with short-range defense against threats such as anti-ship missiles and other airborne targets. Its ability to respond quickly to incoming threats makes it an important layer of protection for naval platforms. Continued investment in ship survivability and integrated air defense should support demand for missile systems and related technologies.
