The U.S. Navy has approved Raytheon’s StormBreaker smart weapon for operational use on the F/A-18-E/F Super Hornet strike fighter. Raytheon is an RTX (RTX) business. StormBreaker is the only operational smart weapon that can engage moving and stationary targets in both fair and adverse weather conditions, at land or at sea. Its compact size allows a single aircraft to engage more surface targets than previously possible. The weapon can also fly to strike mobile targets, reducing the amount of time that aircrews spend in harm’s way.
