RTX Corporation

RTX's own account of its F-35 work: the Pratt & Whitney F135 propulsion system, Collins Aerospace's Enhanced Power and Cooling System, Raytheon's next-generation Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System, and the Gen III Helmet Mounted Display System, which the page states "is manufactured through a joint venture between Collins Aerospace and Elbit Systems of America". Israel flies the aircraft as the F-35I.

The venture's own description: "R2S is a joint venture manufacturing company formed by RTX and the Israeli-based Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to build the Iron Dome system's interceptor and the SkyHunter Interceptor (US variant) in the United States." Its stated mission is "Producing and integrating combat-proven and low-cost Israeli air defense capabilities with the agile power of United States manufacturing".

The Palestinian-led BDS movement lists "RTX (formerly Raytheon)" under military-security companies, "including those implicated in arming Israel's Gaza genocide", alongside BAE Systems, Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. The page describes the list as non-exhaustive and dynamic, and directs institutions to the AFSC, UN, Who Profits and Don't Buy Into Occupation databases for divestment screening.

Records that the Committee on Governance and Public Policy "Oversees RTX's positions on significant public policy issues"; Robert O. Work chaired it through 2025 and George R. Oliver was to join and chair it from 30 April 2026. Fredric G. Reynolds is Independent Lead Director. The Code of Conduct is described as emphasising "the responsibility to conduct our business with integrity, to respect and protect human rights". Records that RTX "eliminated the non-financial component of our AIP design (the 'Corporate Responsibility Scorecard')", allocating 100% of annual incentive weighting to financial performance from 2025. Gives the corporate secretary's address and corpsec@rtx.com. Three proposals reached the 2026 agenda, all of them management's.

Records 2025 net sales of $88,603 million, sales to the US government of $33,279 million (38%, excluding foreign military sales) and international sales of $41,312 million (47%). Approximately 180,000 employees in 52 countries, 69% in the United States. Among 2025 defence bookings it lists "$1.2 billion for Iron Dome Tamir production for an international customer"; the customer is not named in the filing. Names "potential human rights issues associated with the use of our defense products" among the risks attaching to its sales, and states that RTX continues to monitor potential impacts to its "business, customers, suppliers, employees, and operations in Israel".

RTX is among the 104 businesses screened. The report identifies 1,115 European financial institutions with financial relationships to those businesses, $310 billion in loans and underwriting between January 2023 and August 2025, and $1,503 billion in shares and bonds held at 31 August 2025. Research by Profundo; foreword by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory.

RTX's own announcement: "The Raytheon-Rafael Protection Systems (R2S) joint venture was awarded a $1.25 billion contract to supply Israel with Tamir surface-to-air missiles." It records that this is a direct commercial sales contract covering "missiles, missile kits and test equipment", that the $33 million East Camden factory opened earlier that month, and that the site "was established to support the Israel Missile Defense Organization's (IMDO), operating within the Israeli MOD's Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D), initiative to accelerate serial production of Iron Dome interceptors". R2S chief executive Jonathan Casey calls it "the first production contract for the R2S joint venture". The single strongest document on this profile.

The Commission of Inquiry, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, concluded that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, finding that four of the five acts of genocide defined in the Genocide Convention were committed. The finding is confined to Gaza.

The University of San Francisco confirmed that its endowment would sell direct holdings in Palantir, L3Harris, GE Aerospace and RTX by 1 June 2025, following an 18-month campaign by Students for Justice in Palestine. Alia Sky, the law student who helped lead the effort, said the four were "the most problematic in their portfolio of direct holdings". The decision was taken in February 2025 but only relayed to students after they occupied the library atrium and renamed it for Hossam Shabat, a young Palestinian journalist from Gaza killed by Israeli forces. USF also rewrote its investment policy statement to say that "ethical, moral and social considerations will be incorporated as part of the investment process".

Published by the initiative of over thirty Palestinian trade unions and professional associations that issued a joint call to end all complicity and stop arming Israel. It records that "Iron Dome interceptors are called Tamir and are co-produced by RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies) and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and assembled in Israel", names Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona as a production site for Sidewinder missiles and JDAM tail kits, and names Collins Aerospace as maker of the F-35's weapons bay actuators. The Palestinian unions' demand is to halt arms production and disrupt the supply of military goods to Israel.

The Court issued arrest warrants for crimes against humanity and war crimes including starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, murder, persecution and other inhumane acts.

The International Court of Justice held that Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful, that it must end it as rapidly as possible, and that all States are under an obligation not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation.

"On 3 July 2024, the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited RTX Corporation to respond to the call by the UN Expert to cease the transfer of arms to Israel. The company did not respond." The same exercise records non-responses from Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Honeywell and Rheinmetall, and responses from BAE Systems, Maersk and thyssenkrupp.

UN human rights experts called on states and arms manufacturers to halt transfers of weapons, parts and ammunition to Israel, warning that continuing to transfer them risks responsibility for human rights violations and complicity in international crimes. Business & Human Rights Resource Centre records RTX among the companies it invited to answer the call.

The International Court of Justice found a real and imminent risk to the right of Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from acts of genocide, and ordered Israel to prevent them. The legal framework on which export licensing, procurement and institutional exclusion decisions rest.

Announced three weeks into Israel's assault on Gaza. Raytheon and Rafael commit $33 million to an East Camden plant to produce "the Tamir missile for the Iron Dome Weapon System and its U.S. variant, SkyHunter", described as "the first all-up-round production facility in the U.S." for the type. Ground was to be broken before the end of 2023, with production intended to begin in 2025.

The product-level record, marked "On the BDS Divestment Shortlist" and tagged Gaza Genocide and Weapons and Military Equipment. Records that Pratt & Whitney supplies the F100 engines for Israel's F-15 and F-16 fleets and will provide repair management and other services for them through 2030; that Pratt & Whitney makes engines for Israel Aerospace Industries' Eitan and Shoval drones, which the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights documented killing nearly 2,000 Palestinians between 2004 and 2014; that Raytheon's Phalanx system arms the Sa'ar ships enforcing the naval blockade of Gaza; and, citing the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, that Raytheon supplied Israel with at least 8,188 TOW, 4,842 Sidewinder, 1,360 Maverick and 154 AMRAAM missiles, 1,200 Paveway bombs and 150 GBU-28 bombs. Page valid as of 29 October 2022.

The formation of the joint venture. Raytheon Missiles & Defense and "RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., an Israeli-based defense technology company, have signed a joint venture" called Raytheon RAFAEL Area Protection Systems, to build the Iron Dome Weapon System's Tamir interceptor and the US derivative SkyHunter. The release states that the two companies "have teamed for over a decade on Iron Dome", and describes Rafael as supplying "the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli defense establishment".

Human Rights Watch researchers "found numerous Hellfire and TOW missiles and their parts" inside Gaza during Israel's 2008–09 assault, and observed Cobra helicopters carrying TOW missiles at the armistice line. For the six drone strikes it investigated, it found the impact marks and fragments consistent with the Israeli-made Spike missile and "inconsistent with either the anti-tank versions of the Hellfire or TOW missiles". The report names no manufacturer for the TOW remnants it recovered.

Amnesty delegates in Gaza after Israel's 2008–09 assault found munition fragments "all over Gaza — on the streets, in school playgrounds, in hospitals and in people's homes". Of one: "Fragments from one 500lb bomb contained the inscription 'For use on MK-82 fin guided bomb' and the markings 96214 ASSY 837760-4. The cage code 96214 indicates that this fin was produced by the US company Raytheon." Amnesty matched the part number to a 2001 US government solicitation listing AFG Fin, Raytheon part number 837760-4. The named-source recovery in Gaza that attributes a component to this manufacturer.
