Raytheon Technologies — now RTX — is named in congressional testimony alongside SAIC, Lockheed, and Boeing as one of the “keepers of secrets” in the UAP contractor network. Its public portfolio spans directed energy weapons, space-based sensors, submarine combat systems, and missile defence. Every one of those domains intersects directly with documented UAP research and retrieval programs.
Directed Energy Weapons — The Eskridge Connection
RTX’s Raytheon division publicly operates a 50-kilowatt High Energy Laser (HEL) system mounted on a US Army Stryker vehicle — the DE-MSHORAD program. Directed energy weapons capable of producing burn injuries from a distance are not hypothetical Raytheon technology. They are in production.
This matters directly to our active case file. Amy Eskridge (Case 1 — died June 11, 2022) reported in podcasts in 2020-2021 that she had been struck by a directed energy weapon, leaving burn marks across her entire body. She was the co-founder of the Institute for Exotic Science, was planning public UAP/ET technology disclosure, and had documented escalating harassment before her death. British retired intelligence officer Franc Milburn investigated and concluded her death was not suicide. The technology she described as being used against her is precisely what Raytheon builds and sells.
Space Force Missile Warning Sensor — April 2026
On April 28, 2026, RTX’s Raytheon delivered its second missile-warning sensor to the US Space Force. Space-based sensors designed to detect and track fast-moving objects — including hypersonic threats — are the same sensor architecture that would detect and track UAP in space and upper atmosphere. The SPY-6 radar and LTAMDS systems Raytheon produces are the exact platforms involved in UAP detection events.
Raytheon Australia — Collins Class and Woomera
Raytheon Australia has been the Collins Class Submarine Combat System Manager for over 20 years — responsible for all in-service submarines and their combat system acquisition, sustainment and enhancement. Australia’s submarine capability, its external communications sonar, and optics upgrades all run through Raytheon Australia.
In the context of NURO’s documented underwater UAP operations, a contractor with 20 years of deep submarine combat system knowledge is not peripheral to the program architecture. It is central to it.
Raytheon Australia also operates maintenance and engineering support at the Woomera Test Range — the world’s largest overland test facility at 122,000 square kilometres in South Australia. Used by the ADF, allied forces, and foreign military partners for weapons testing in a remote classified environment. Australia’s equivalent of White Sands.
Electronic Warfare and Space Situational Awareness
Raytheon Australia’s Joint Adversarial Training and Testing Systems (JATTS) delivers advanced electronic warfare and targeting capabilities to the Australian Defence Force. Its Space and Mission Systems division handles tactical and strategic satellite communications, space situational awareness, and cyber security for ADF critical facilities. Tracking objects in orbit — including those that don’t match catalogued satellites — is a direct UAP-detection capability.
