RTX has announced an investment of 26.5 million USD destined for its production facility in Largo, Florida.
The expansion will be used to generate 100 high paying jobs, and was agreed upon to accelerate the production of radars for the United States’ new air traffic control system.
With its new production area expected to become operational by late 2026; the facility will produce the Condor Mk3 radar, which aims to enhance communication with aircraft transponders, as well as the ASR-XM radar, which detects aircraft using reflected signals.
RTX currently employs over 7,000 across eight major facilities, and has been producing radars, satellite and secure communications components from its Largo facility for forty years.
Nate Boelkins, president of Avionics at Collins Aerospace, said:As global airspace becomes more congested and contested, customers need secure, interoperable systems for seamless coordination. This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver critical capabilities that keep airline passengers safe and military operators mission-ready, faster.
RTX has made significant investments in its people and operations across Florida, and we value our partnership with the state as we continue to grow.
