India, June 8 -- Raytheon, an RTX Corp. (RTX) business, announced Monday it is investing $100 million to expand its Portsmouth, Rhode Island-based facility, which has been operating for more than 60 years. The facility supports undersea technology, combat systems and radars.
The expansion will accelerate Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) testing by increasing capacity and boost Patriot GEM-T subcomponent production to meet growing global demand.
This investment comes eight months after the company's $53 million investment to expand its Radar Production Facility in Andover, Massachusetts. LTAMDS is a radar designed to defeat advanced threats, including hypersonic weapons.
