RTX's Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor showcases 360-degree protection in latest test
RTX (NYSE: RTX) has successfully completed another milestone in its Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) program, demonstrating 360-degree protection capabilities in its latest test at White Sands Missile Range. The radar system, which recently received Milestone C designation, successfully tracked and intercepted a complex threat target using its secondary arrays.
The test validated LTAMDS' integration with the new Large Tactical Power Source (LTPS), enabling the system to reach its full battlespace potential. Having completed nine successful flight tests, LTAMDS is designed to counter massive, coordinated attacks including drones, advanced aircraft, and various missile types. Following Poland's adoption in 2024 as the first international customer, several other countries are considering acquiring the system.
RTX (NYSE: RTX) ha raggiunto un altro traguardo nel programma Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS), dimostrando capacit脿 di protezione a 360 gradi nell'ultimo test condotto a White Sands Missile Range. Il sistema radar, che ha recentemente ottenuto la designazione Milestone C, ha seguito e intercettato con successo un bersaglio minaccioso complesso utilizzando le sue antenne secondarie.
La prova ha confermato l'integrazione di LTAMDS con la nuova Large Tactical Power Source (LTPS), permettendo al sistema di esprimere pienamente il suo potenziale operativo. Con nove test di volo riusciti, LTAMDS 猫 progettato per contrastare attacchi coordinati di grande entit脿, inclusi droni, velivoli avanzati e diversi tipi di missili.

Insights
RTX's LTAMDS radar advances to production phase with demonstrated 360掳 protection capabilities, gaining international traction and addressing modern battlefield threats.
RTX has achieved a significant milestone with its Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS), successfully completing another 360-degree flight test that demonstrated the radar's ability to track and intercept complex threats using its secondary arrays. This achievement coincides with the system reaching Milestone C designation, which officially transitions the program from prototype to production and deployment鈥攁 critical phase in defense procurement.
The latest test successfully integrated LTAMDS with the Large Tactical Power Source (LTPS) and demonstrated interoperability with the Integrated Battle Command System and PAC-3 MSE missile. This integration is technically significant as the increased power enables the radar to reach its full battlespace potential鈥攅ssentially maximizing its range and capabilities.
What sets LTAMDS apart is its three-array design providing comprehensive 360-degree coverage, specifically engineered to counter modern battlefield threats including coordinated attacks from multiple vectors simultaneously鈥攄rones, advanced aircraft, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and hypersonic weapons. This represents a substantial tactical advantage over legacy systems that typically have more limited field-of-view capabilities.
The program's commercial prospects appear strong, with Poland becoming the first international customer in 2024, and according to RTX, several other countries actively planning to acquire the system. This international expansion, coupled with the U.S. Army's official program of record designation in April 2025, suggests a stable, long-term revenue opportunity. RTX is responding to this demand with capital investments to expand production capacity, indicating confidence in the market potential for this defense system.
With nine successful flight tests completed, each of increasing complexity, LTAMDS has demonstrated consistent technical progress, addressing a critical capability gap in air and missile defense at a time when advanced missile threats are proliferating globally.
Full coverage counters massive, coordinated attacks
WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M., Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an聽RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, successfully completed another 360-degree flight test for the聽, or LTAMDS, using one of the radar's secondary arrays to track and intercept a complex, threat representative target. This follows the radar's recent Milestone C designation, initiating the transition from prototype to production and deployment.
In this test, LTAMDS, supported an Integrated Battle Command System and a PAC-3 MSE missile intercept of a threat representative target. The test objective was to demonstrate LTAMDS' successful integration with the recently delivered Large Tactical Power Source (LTPS). The increased power provided by LTPS enables LTAMDS to reach its full battlespace potential.
The high capacity, full coverage provided by LTAMDS three radar arrays enable the defeat of massive, coordinated attacks that include a mix of threats such as drones, advanced aircraft, as well as ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles. LTAMDS has now completed nine successful flight tests of increasing complexity to prove its capabilities against real-world threats.
"LTAMDS' 360-degree full-sector sensing capabilities specifically address massive, coordinated attacks from adversaries," said Tom Laliberty, president of Land & Air Defense Systems at Raytheon. "As international demand grows, Raytheon continues to invest in our production capacity to quickly deliver this critical capability to customers."
