RTX scouts German suppliers, aims to build more than 1,000 Tomahawk missiles a year
Raytheon is scouting German suppliers as parent company RTX seeks to raise annual production of BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles to more than 1,000. The company has identified Germany as a promising source of industrial partners but has not named prospective suppliers. The talks coincide with Berlin’s consideration of up to 400 Tomahawks and an initial three Typhon ground launchers following a letter of intent with Washington. Germany is targeting deliveries in 2029, while Raytheon is already ramping up output under existing contracts and delivered three times as many Tomahawks in the first half of 2026 as a year earlier.
