In an April 2025 View From the Top conversation with Axios, Raytheon president Phil Jasper stated that the company's systems are "delivering as promised" and "performing so well they serve as a deterrence to future aggression." He cited the 2024 Iranian attack on Israel as an example, noting that over 100 ballistic missiles, dozens of cruise missiles, and drones were launched but only one death occurred. Jasper said customers are telling RTX that its systems are "so effective" they need "more of them and we need them faster." Jasper discussed production increases, including a 74% average increase in production rates and a 90% ramp-up for the Coyote interceptor. He highlighted a $115 million expansion of a missile integration facility in Huntsville and a $450 million manufacturing facility in Texas. Jasper also described RTX's investment in next-generation technologies such as composable weapons and software-defined apertures for radar systems. On the Golden Dome initiative, he said RTX supports the vision and outlined a three-principle approach: starting with existing proven systems, continuing innovation, and embracing an all-of-industry approach including commercial partners.
