RTX (RTX) recently broke ground on a $53M, 23,000 square-foot expansion of its Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor Production Facility in Andover, Massachusetts. The Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor, or LTAMDS, is a radar designed to defeat advanced threats, including hypersonic weapons. Raytheon is adding several capacity enhancements to accelerate delivery of next-generation capabilities at the Andover facility. The LTAMDS Production Facility is the final integration point of the radar for U.S. and international customers. The factory currently handles Patriot testing. Expansion construction is scheduled to conclude in late 2026.
