Space and Airborne
Multidomain Operations enable a way to connect traditionally separate networks, ingest and analyse data from sensors across the globe and in space, then serve it up to operators and commanders in context and with options on what to do next. Raytheon Technologies is leveraging our deep knowledge in areas including secure communications, resilient networks, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The domains of space and airborne is just one part of multi-domain operations, supporting the collation of data and providing our customers with a clear vision and picture of what to do next.
Airborne Solutions
UK Aircraft Modification and integration Hub.
Raytheon UK operates the UK’s only dedicated special mission aircraft centre. Our site in Broughton is the Airborne Solutions’ Centre of Excellence for technology research and development.
We possess expertise in the development, modification and support of our cutting-edge surveillance equipment. We see the future of Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) in the development of multi-mission solutions not dedicated to just single sensors or single capabilities, but which can overlay intelligence from multiple sensors to give a comprehensive overview of the battle space.
Airborne
Special mission aircraft
The Shadow R Mk1 tactical ISTAR solution provides Airborne ISR in support of UK and international operations. Raytheon UK continues to spirally develop the platform through an ongoing capability enhancement programme and provides in-service support. Raytheon UK is now under contract to develop and deliver the RAF’s Next-Generation Tactical ISTAR capability which includes eight Shadow R Mk2 aircraft, a new variant that will transform the capability of the platform. The aircraft is civil-certified by the Civil Aviation Authority and then released to service by the United Kingdom Military Aviation Authority.
Multi-mission aircraft
For Raytheon UK, the future of airborne solutions lies in the development of multi-mission solutions for airborne platforms that are not dedicated to single sensors or single capabilities, but which can overlay intelligence from multiple sensors to give the decision-maker a comprehensive overview of the battlespace.
Space
Space systems
Raytheon Technologies has been involved in spaceflight since the global community set its eyes on the final frontier. It was our guidance computers that steered some of the first space capsules, including Apollo 11, and it was our technology that beamed back Neil Armstrong’s famous transmission, “One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

We pair modern development tools and processes with cutting-edge production and design practices to increase the quality of our capabilities while meeting aggressive delivery timelines that keep customers ahead of the threat. We innovate on the customers’ terms – speed, relevancy and requirements.
Our enterprise approach to customer data needs breaks down data collection, insight sharing and constellation management stovepipes. We build solutions on flexible, extensible, modular platforms that allow for future expansion and the addition of new capabilities and data sources, including third party and commercial solutions.

We provide flexible, survivable and resilient solutions for integrated multi-domain effects. Our multi-domain experience and machine learning and automation technologies combine to create next-generation data-to-decision analytics, battle management command & control (BMC2) and traditional command & control (C2) systems, all of which are protected by our industry-leading layered defence against current and future cyber threats.
We’re experts in building solutions that meet the extraordinary standards required in and around space. Our systems work the first time, every time. Our ability to create and enhance systems with transformative next-generation technologies give our customers the necessary tools to address current and future threats. And we’re making the domain more accessible by integrating commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and open-source tech into our solutions, making space more affordable than ever.
From weather to missile warning to intelligence and beyond, we processe hundreds of terabytes of satellite data every day. Our proven solutions enable critical space situational awareness and collection for fast, informed decisions. Our analytics, machine learning and sense-making technologies are designed to make information actionable, automate next steps and move the human analyst farther up the decision-making chain.
