Raytheon (RTX) is a critical Navy munitions supplier (Standard Missiles, torpedoes, TLAMs). The company has moved to multiple shifts, is now unconstrained by solid rocket motor supply bottlenecks after the space was opened to three suppliers, and is heavily investing. Production output is expected to increase nonlinearly—a 'knee in the curve'—with a high-order ramp rather than linear growth, signaling strong business momentum and improved Navy inventory.
