RTX subsidiary lands $154M Army contract

Raytheon, a subsidiary of Arlington County-based RTX, received a $154 million contract to deliver independent viewer systems to the U.S. Army, the Fortune 500 aerospace and defense contractor announced Wednesday.

Under the contract, Raytheon, which, like its parent company, is also based in Arlington, will deliver Commander’s Independent Viewer (CIV) systems for the Army’s Bradley Fighting Vehicles. CIV is an electro-optical/infrared sight system that uses forward-looking infrared cameras and sensors to provide the infantry vehicle with 360-degree battlefield oversight and targeting capabilities.

“The CIV is a package of multiple systems all working together to increase the survivability and battlefield performance of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle,” Bryan Rosselli, president of Raytheon’s Advanced Products and Solutions business group, said in a statement. “These capabilities — early threat detection, 360-degree battlefield view and all-weather performance — increase a vehicle commander’s ability to locate, identify and defeat stationary and moving targets in any condition.”

Raytheon will produce the units in McKinney, Texas. The first delivery is expected June 2026.

Earlier this month, Raytheon announced it had received a $344.6 million U.S. Air Force contract modification to produce StormBreaker smart weapons.

RTX has more than 185,000 employees globally and had $68.9 billion in sales in 2023. The company rebranded from Raytheon Technologies to RTX in June 2023 and has three business units: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon.
