Target: Raytheon Technologies, now RTX Corporation Research date: 25 October 2026 Scope: Commercial, financial, ownership, manufacturing and supply-chain relationships involving Israel and internationally recognised occupied territories.
Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships
Direct supplier relationships
RTX’s 2024 Form 10-K stated that its commercial manufacturing facilities in Israel remained open and operational and continued exporting products and importing critical items and raw materials, while its defence programmes continued receiving components from Israel without material disruption.1
The filing establishes Israeli manufacturing and component-supply relationships within RTX’s business but does not identify every supplier, component, importer or contractual counterparty.1
RTX’s 2025 Form 10-K identifies Raytheon, Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney as its three operating segments and records a $1.2 billion booking for Iron Dome Tamir production for an international customer.2
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems
Raytheon maintains a manufacturing and development relationship with Israeli defence manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems through the Iron Dome and David’s Sling programmes.3
Raytheon-Rafael Protection Systems (R2S), the companies’ US joint venture, received a $1.25 billion direct commercial sales contract announced on 21 November 2025 to supply Israel with Tamir surface-to-air missiles, missile kits and test equipment.4
The companies invested approximately $33 million in an East Camden, Arkansas, production facility that opened in November 2025 to manufacture Tamir and SkyHunter interceptors.4
On 8 October 2026, the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced that the facility had delivered its first fully US-manufactured Tamir interceptor to the Israel Missile Defense Organization.5
A report published on 9 October 2026 confirmed the first deliveries and described the facility as scaling production to meet continued Israeli and US demand.6
Iron Dome supply-chain structure
The Israeli Ministry of Defense’s January 2025 announcement identified Rafael as prime contractor for Iron Dome and named ELTA Systems, an Israel Aerospace Industries division, and mPrest as collaborators.7
The Ministry’s November 2025 announcement again identified Rafael as prime contractor and described a production-expansion agreement involving Israeli government defence organisations.8
The Congressional Research Service identifies RTX as Rafael’s US partner in Iron Dome co-production and describes a history of US manufacturing workshare and Israeli assembly.9
The October 2026 reporting establishes that complete Tamir interceptors were subsequently being produced at the joint venture’s US facility.6
David’s Sling and Stunner
RTX identifies David’s Sling as a missile-defence system co-developed with Rafael and operational since 2017.3
RTX states that it manufactures David’s Sling missile firing units and participates in development and production associated with its Stunner interceptor.3
RTX also identifies SkyCeptor as a derivative of the Stunner interceptor technology.3
Collins Aerospace and Elbit Systems
Elbit Systems identifies the F-35 helmet-mounted display as supplied through RCEVS, a joint venture involving Elbit Systems and Rockwell Collins, now part of RTX’s Collins Aerospace business.10
The commercial relationship concerns military aviation display technology and must be distinguished from RTX ownership of Elbit Systems itself.10
Pratt & Whitney and Israeli aerospace manufacturing
Pratt & Whitney controlled Blades Technology Ltd. (BTL), an Israeli manufacturer of compressor and turbine blades in Nahariya.11
In December 2022, reporting on an internal management letter described plans to phase out production and close the manufacturing operation.12
On 16 June 2026, Globes reported that Pratt & Whitney had decided to shut down the facility, with approximately 600 workers facing job losses and another 300 expected to transfer to its Tefen production operation.11
Importer-of-record structure
No public evidence identified establishing the name, customs registration or legal structure of a dedicated RTX importer of record for Israeli-origin goods.
RTX’s 2024 filing confirms that its Israeli facilities imported raw materials and exported manufactured products, but does not identify the importer-of-record entities.1
Agricultural suppliers
No public evidence identified of commercial relationships between RTX and Mehadrin, Hadiklaim, Galilee Export or Agrexco successors.
Seasonal sourcing
No public evidence identified of recurring Israeli agricultural procurement or December–April fresh-produce sourcing by RTX.
Third-party distributors and white-label arrangements
No public evidence identified of Israeli agricultural goods reaching RTX through resellers, white-label arrangements or retail distribution.
Historical military supply
AFSC Investigate identifies RTX as a supplier of missiles, aircraft components and other military equipment used by Israel and discusses historical transfers involving Paveway, Maverick, AMRAAM, Sidewinder and other weapons.13
Those historical programme references are attributed to AFSC; the reviewed evidence does not independently verify every individual shipment, value or end-use described in its company profile.13
The Israeli Ministry of Defense’s primary announcement, “First Iron Dome Tamir Interceptor Fully Produced in the U.S. Delivered to Israel”, displays the publication date 8/10/2026, meaning 8 October 2026. Its official press-room listing independently repeats 8/10/2026. The announcement confirms delivery of the first Tamir interceptor manufactured and assembled entirely in the United States at the R2S facility in East Camden, Arkansas, to the Israel Missile Defense Organization. This confirms the existing Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships statement beginning “On 8 October 2026, the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced…” and the existing Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure chronology identifying Israeli government and RTX announcements on 8–9 October 2026. The alternative date of 10 October 2026 is not supported as the Ministry’s publication date by its primary announcement or press-room listing.5, 14
Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance
Settlement-origin agricultural products
No public evidence identified of RTX purchasing, importing, distributing or selling agricultural produce originating in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem or Golan Heights.
Country-of-origin labelling
No public evidence identified of government enforcement action against RTX involving agricultural country-of-origin labelling or the mislabelling of settlement-produced goods.
Corporate labelling policy
No public evidence identified of an RTX policy addressing the retail labelling of products originating in Israeli settlements.
Industrial product origin
RTX’s 2024 SEC filing identifies active manufacturing operations in Israel, including exports and imports of raw materials, but does not supply product-level country-of-origin classifications or customs declarations for those shipments.1
RTX’s November 2025 announcement identifies East Camden, Arkansas, as the location of a US production facility established for Tamir and SkyHunter interceptors.4
The Israeli Ministry of Defense confirmed in October 2026 that the facility delivered the first Tamir interceptor manufactured and assembled entirely in the United States.5
These disclosures establish the manufacturing origin of the specific Arkansas production activity and a distinction between US-based production and historical Israeli production arrangements.5
Export-control and regulatory framework
RTX’s 2025 annual filing identifies government export approvals, international regulations and foreign-government permissions as relevant to its aerospace and defence operations.2
No public evidence identified of a specific settlement-origin customs-labelling violation by RTX.
Geographic settlement nexus
No public evidence identified of RTX-operated product listings, settlement-based retail facilities, warehouses or agricultural supply operations in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem or Golan Heights.
Historical status
RTX and Rafael’s development cooperation on David’s Sling predates 2020, with RTX identifying the system as operational since 2017; the relationship remained publicly documented on RTX’s product website in 2026.3
The underlying pre-2020 development history is classified [pre-2020], with the commercial relationship confirmed as continuing in later disclosures.3
Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure
Foreign direct investment - Israeli manufacturing
RTX’s subsidiary Pratt & Whitney held an operating manufacturing business through Blades Technology Ltd. in Nahariya, Israel.11
The facility manufactured compressor and turbine blades for aerospace engines and formed part of Pratt & Whitney’s industrial production network.11
Pratt & Whitney began the closure process by June 2026, according to contemporaneous reporting.11
The December 2022 report recorded management’s decision to end production because of sustained financial losses, with manufacturing initially expected to be phased out between 2024 and 2025.12
The exact original acquisition date, acquisition price, direct ownership percentage, remaining asset value and completed closure date were not established.
Acquired Israeli operating companies
Blades Technology Ltd. is an identifiable Israeli manufacturing company controlled by Pratt & Whitney and therefore within RTX’s operating group.11
The company operated in Nahariya and reportedly had approximately 600 employees facing job losses when the June 2026 closure decision was described, with another 300 expected to transfer to Tefen.11
The site had operated for decades before the 2026 restructuring; the June 2026 report describes it as a manufacturing facility formerly owned by the Wertheimer family.11
No public evidence identified establishing the precise acquisition consideration, acquisition completion date, Israeli revenue or total capital invested in BTL.
No additional Israeli operating company was conclusively established as having been acquired and controlled by RTX in the reviewed sources.
Rafael relationship - joint venture
R2S is a US-based manufacturing joint venture formed by RTX and Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.15
The venture describes its business as integrating Israeli air-defence technology with US manufacturing capacity for Iron Dome and SkyHunter interceptors.15
The November 2025 $33 million production-facility investment was associated with this joint venture and located in Arkansas rather than Israel.4
No public evidence identified establishing the precise capital contribution, ownership percentage or profit-distribution arrangements of each R2S shareholder.
Elbit relationship - joint venture
Elbit Systems identifies the F-35 helmet-mounted display programme as a joint undertaking involving Elbit and Rockwell Collins.10
This establishes a commercial and technology relationship with an Israeli defence manufacturer, but the cited disclosure does not establish RTX ownership of Elbit Systems.10
No public evidence identified establishing the current direct ownership percentages or the complete legal structure of the Collins/Elbit venture.
Research and development
RTX states that David’s Sling was jointly developed with Rafael and that RTX contributes missile firing units and interceptor-related technology.3
The company identifies the Stunner interceptor and its SkyCeptor derivative as products connected to this development relationship.3
The cited RTX disclosures establish research and development cooperation with an Israeli manufacturer but do not identify a separately owned RTX research laboratory physically located in Israel.3
No public evidence identified establishing a specific RTX-operated Israeli accelerator programme.
Parent company and beneficial ownership
RTX Corporation is the publicly traded parent operating through Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon.2
The 2026 proxy statement identifies the following institutional shareholders as of 31 December 2025: Vanguard Group, 9.3%; BlackRock, 7.8%; State Street Corporation, 6.8%; and Capital Research Global Investors, 5.7%.16
These percentages represent disclosed institutional shareholdings and do not establish that those managers exercise unified control or hold their portfolios for a single beneficial owner.16
No public evidence identified of an Israeli shareholder holding a disclosed controlling interest in RTX.
Portfolio and fund exposure
No public evidence identified of RTX holding a material proprietary portfolio of Israeli sovereign bonds, Israeli-domiciled equities or Israel-focused investment funds.
BlackRock and State Street appear in RTX’s shareholder and benefit-plan disclosures, including investment-management or trustee relationships, but their independently managed holdings are distinct from RTX-owned corporate investments.16
Financing the Israeli state
No public evidence identified of RTX directly underwriting Israeli sovereign bonds, acting as lead arranger of Israeli government debt or distributing Development Corporation for Israel bonds.
No public evidence identified of RTX acting as an insurer of Israeli state, military or settlement operations.
No public evidence identified of RTX providing direct lending facilities to Israeli banks or settlement companies.
Controlling principals
Christopher T. Calio is RTX’s chairman and chief executive officer.17
The 2026 proxy statement describes the company’s board structure and reports beneficial shareholdings of its directors and executives.16
No public evidence identified of material personal or family-office investments by Calio, former chairman Gregory Hayes or other RTX directors in Israeli companies or settlement-related enterprises.
Constructive-notice chronology
On 16 January 2025, Israel’s Ministry of Defense announced a contract with Rafael to expand Iron Dome interceptor production.7
On 21 November 2025, Raytheon announced the R2S contract worth $1.25 billion to supply Israel with Tamir interceptors and related equipment.4
On 8–9 October 2026, Israeli government and contemporaneous reporting confirmed the first delivery from the new American manufacturing line.5, 6
The recorded 2025–2026 activity occurred after both 19 July 2024 and November 2024, the dates specified for temporal review in this audit.4, 5
Operational Presence & Market Activity
Physical footprint in Israel
RTX’s 2024 Form 10-K expressly reported that its commercial manufacturing facilities in Israel remained operational, including continuing exports of manufactured products and imports of critical inputs.1
The disclosure establishes an operating manufacturing presence but does not enumerate all Israeli locations, subsidiaries or employees.1
Pratt & Whitney’s Blades Technology Ltd. facility in Nahariya is one specifically identified manufacturing location.11
The June 2026 report establishes that closure of the Nahariya manufacturing operation was underway.11
RTX’s September 2026 Form 10-Q states that the company has employees, facilities and operations in the Middle East and monitors impacts relating to Israel and regional instability.18
The filing further states that RTX and its suppliers had not experienced material regional operational impacts at that reporting date.18
Employment
The December 2022 reporting on the Nahariya factory initially placed approximately 900 jobs at risk from the planned manufacturing shutdown.12
The June 2026 report described approximately 600 employees facing job losses as the closure process commenced, while another 300 were expected to transfer to Tefen.11
These figures describe different stages of the same restructuring and should not be added together.11, 12
No public evidence identified establishing RTX’s total employment in Israel as of October 2026.
Tax and regulatory registration
The ownership and operation of the Nahariya manufacturing business establish a historical Israeli operating presence through Pratt & Whitney.11
No public evidence identified establishing the company’s Israeli corporate tax identification number, tax payments, Preferred Technology Enterprise designation or current tax-residency status.
Defence market activity
RTX identifies David’s Sling as part of Israel’s missile-defence architecture and confirms that it participated in the system’s development with Rafael.3
R2S manufactures Tamir interceptors associated with Israel’s Iron Dome system and the SkyHunter variant developed for US applications.15
The 2025 R2S contract names Israel as the recipient of the missile supply agreement.4
The Israeli government confirmed the first delivery of US-manufactured interceptors from the joint-venture facility in October 2026.5
Aerospace market activity
Pratt & Whitney received an August 2025 contract action worth $2.8 billion for Lot 18 F135 engines supporting the F-35 programme and its US and international customers.19
The announcement identifies Pratt & Whitney as manufacturer of engines for all three F-35 variants but does not allocate the contract value by foreign customer, including Israel.19
Elbit Systems identifies its joint venture with Rockwell Collins as supplier of the F-35 helmet-mounted display system.10
AFSC Investigate separately identifies Pratt & Whitney engines and other RTX technologies among equipment incorporated into Israeli military aircraft.13
Market positioning
RTX’s disclosures identify defence programmes and joint ventures involving Israeli customers and manufacturers.2, 3
The company’s annual filing reports significant Tamir-related bookings, while the November 2025 announcement identifies Israel as the recipient of the corresponding R2S supply contract.2, 4
No public evidence identified of RTX publishing a formal classification of Israel as a minor export market, strategic growth market or regional headquarters.
Settlement operations
No public evidence identified of RTX operating an office, factory, warehouse, retail location or support centre within an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem or Golan Heights.
No public evidence identified of a named RTX-authorised distributor operating a settlement branch.
Reservist leave and charitable matching
No public evidence identified of an RTX-specific Israeli military-reservist salary subsidy or military-leave policy.
No public evidence identified establishing the eligibility of specific Israeli defence or settlement-related organisations under RTX employee charitable-matching programmes.
Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties
Corporate formation
Raytheon Technologies was formed on 3 April 2020 through the merger involving Raytheon Company and United Technologies Corporation, with the surviving corporate group subsequently operating under the RTX name.1
The company’s operating structure comprises Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon.2
Headquarters and domicile
RTX is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, United States.20
The company’s corporate governance disclosures identify Christopher T. Calio as chairman and chief executive officer.21
No public evidence identified that RTX Corporation was founded in Israel or maintains its corporate headquarters or principal management office there.
Israeli-Nexus factors
Founded in Israel: The corporate formation and headquarters disclosures identify a United States corporate origin.1, 20
Headquarters or principal management in Israel: RTX identifies Arlington, Virginia, as its headquarters.20
Israeli corporate tax residency or PTE status of the parent: no public evidence identified.
Israeli controlling capital: The 2026 proxy identifies major institutional investors, but no Israeli controlling shareholder is established by the reviewed ownership disclosures.16
Israeli operating-company ownership: Pratt & Whitney controlled the Nahariya-based Blades Technology manufacturing operation.11
Israeli defence and industrial relationships: The Rafael and Elbit partnerships are documented through company disclosures and programme descriptions.3, 10
Israeli subsidiaries and acquired identity
Blades Technology Ltd. was an Israeli operating manufacturing business within the Pratt & Whitney group.11
The June 2026 reporting describes a shutdown decision affecting approximately 600 employees facing job losses, with another 300 expected to transfer to Tefen.11
The manufacturing operation’s final legal and operational disposition was not established.
No public evidence identified of further Israeli incorporated operating companies conclusively acquired and controlled by RTX.
Joint-venture boundaries
R2S identifies itself as a company formed by RTX and Rafael to manufacture Iron Dome and SkyHunter equipment in the United States.15
Elbit identifies RCEVS as a venture involving itself and Rockwell Collins in the F-35 helmet-mounted display programme.10
These partnerships establish shared commercial interests and technology arrangements but do not establish that RTX acquired Rafael or Elbit.15, 10
Israeli government linkages
Israel’s Ministry of Defense identifies the Israel Missile Defense Organization as the government body responsible for the Iron Dome programme and Rafael as its principal industrial contractor.7
The October 2026 Israeli government announcement identifies the R2S facility’s delivery of a completed Tamir interceptor to that organisation.5
RTX identifies David’s Sling as a system developed jointly with Rafael for Israel’s defence architecture.3
The disclosed relationships establish defence procurement and industrial cooperation involving Israeli government organisations.4, 5
No public evidence identified of Israeli state equity ownership in RTX Corporation.
Board composition
RTX identifies Christopher Calio as its chairman and chief executive officer.17
The company’s 2026 proxy describes the governance structure, director responsibilities and principal institutional shareholders.16
No public evidence identified establishing Israeli government-appointed directors, Israeli state golden shares or governance restrictions requiring RTX to pursue Israeli government policy objectives.
Historical and continuing relationships
[pre-2020] David’s Sling entered operational service in 2017, according to RTX’s product description; RTX’s continuing product disclosures identify the Rafael partnership in 2026.3
[pre-2020] The Collins/Elbit helmet-display collaboration originated before RTX’s 2020 corporate formation, and Elbit’s current product disclosures continue to identify the joint-venture relationship.10
The R2S joint venture was established in 2020 and remained active through its 2025 contract and October 2026 deliveries.15, 4, 6
Primary corporate announcements establish a naming inconsistency concerning the Raytheon–Rafael joint venture (R2S). Raytheon’s original announcement dated 3 August 2020 identifies the newly established partnership as “Raytheon RAFAEL Area Protection Systems”. Its 26 October 2023 announcement again uses “Raytheon-Rafael Area Protection Systems”, and the joint venture’s own website identifies itself by that same name. However, Raytheon’s 21 November 2025 contract announcement calls it “Raytheon-Rafael Protection Systems”, omitting “Area”. The Israeli Ministry of Defense’s 8 October 2026 announcement subsequently uses “Raytheon-Rafael Area Protection Systems”. The weight of primary evidence therefore supports “Raytheon-Rafael Area Protection Systems” as the established and continuing corporate name, while confirming that the shorter variant appeared in the November 2025 contract announcement. This confirms the existing audit’s identification of the 2020 joint venture and its official website under the longer name, and qualifies the existing Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships statement describing “Raytheon-Rafael Protection Systems (R2S)” as the joint venture’s name: that shorter wording accurately reflects the November 2025 announcement but should not be treated as evidence of a formal corporate renaming.22, 23, 15, 4, 5
Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution
Consolidated revenue
RTX publishes consolidated financial information and segment reporting for Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon.2
The 2025 Form 10-K reports a $1.2 billion Iron Dome Tamir production booking for an international customer within Raytheon’s defence bookings.2
The November 2025 corporate announcement separately identifies a $1.25 billion R2S contract to supply Israel with Tamir missiles, missile kits and test equipment.4
The two disclosed amounts refer to reported bookings and contract value; neither establishes cash received, revenue recognised during 2025 or profit attributable to the Israeli government contract.2, 4
No public evidence identified of a complete country-level revenue figure for RTX’s Israeli customers or Israeli subsidiaries.
Profit flows from Israeli operations
Pratt & Whitney’s ownership of the Nahariya manufacturing operation establishes a historical relationship between an Israeli operating business and a foreign parent.11
The December 2022 closure announcement attributed the decision to sustained manufacturing losses.12
No public evidence identified establishing the amount of dividends, royalties, management fees, intercompany charges or other profit distributions from that Israeli operation to Pratt & Whitney or RTX.
Joint-venture cash flows
R2S’s 2025 contract establishes a material supply relationship involving Israel and a jointly owned US manufacturing business.4
The facility was established in Arkansas using approximately $33 million in capital investment.4
No public evidence identified establishing how contract receipts, manufacturing margins, royalties or dividends are allocated between RTX and Rafael.
Economic contribution through employment and manufacturing
Pratt & Whitney’s Nahariya manufacturing operation contributed to Israeli aerospace production and employment before the 2026 closure process.11
Approximately 600 jobs were expected to be lost under the June 2026 shutdown decision.11
RTX’s 2024 filing confirmed continued exports from Israeli commercial manufacturing facilities and imports of required production inputs.1
No public evidence identified quantifying the operation’s Israeli payroll, corporate taxes, supplier purchases or export revenue.
Economic contribution through defence cooperation
RTX and Rafael’s David’s Sling collaboration involves missile and launcher technology developed for Israel’s layered missile-defence system.3
The Iron Dome production relationship involves Israeli technology, US manufacturing capacity and supply contracts with Israeli defence authorities.15, 4
The Israeli Ministry of Defense’s November 2025 announcement describes the Iron Dome industrial programme as involving joint production between Israel and the United States.8
The October 2026 delivery confirms continuing industrial cooperation between the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Rafael and the US-based RTX joint venture.5
Industry position
RTX’s Rafael partnership contributes manufacturing capacity to the Israeli Iron Dome supply programme, including the production of Tamir interceptors for Israeli procurement.4, 5
The Israeli Ministry of Defense identifies Rafael as Iron Dome’s principal contractor and RTX’s R2S partnership as a participant in the US manufacturing programme.8, 5
No public evidence identified quantifying RTX’s share of the Israeli defence market, its share of Israeli aerospace manufacturing employment, or its total contribution to Israeli GDP.
Occupied-territory economic flows
No public evidence identified establishing settlement-specific RTX revenue, profit repatriation, tax payments, land holdings or direct investment in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem or Golan Heights.
Israeli sovereign financing
No public evidence identified of RTX acting as an Israeli sovereign-bond underwriter, Israel Bonds distributor, settlement-project lender or state insurance underwriter.
Temporal continuity
The November 2025 supply contract and October 2026 interceptor delivery establish continuing commercial activity involving Israeli defence procurement after the two reference dates of 19 July 2024 and November 2024.4, 5
