The company operates nine major facilities across engineering, research, manufacturing, maintenance and customer support. RTX said its employees represent 28% of Poland’s aerospace and defense workforce.
The footprint gives RTX a role in several of Poland’s main aviation and defense programs. Its local work ranges from commercial aircraft systems and engine components to missiles, radar and integrated air defense.
Raytheon is working with 10 Polish companies on the Wisła program, which established Patriot as the backbone of Poland’s air and missile defense network. Polish suppliers produced and delivered components during the program’s first phase.
The second Wisła phase extends local industry participation to the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor, or LTAMDS. Poland is the system’s first international customer, and Polish companies are the first foreign suppliers to provide LTAMDS components.
Raytheon has also supplied Poland with AMRAAM and AIM-9X missiles for fourth- and fifth-generation fighters. The country uses PhantomStrike radar systems and plans to employ Stinger missiles with its Apache helicopters.
Pratt & Whitney’s plants in Rzeszów, Kalisz and Niepołomice produce and maintain components for military and commercial aircraft engines. Their work includes parts for the F100 and F135 engines, as well as the PT6, PW100 and GTF programs.
The Polish operation manufactures, assembles and maintains the GTF engine’s fan drive gear system. It also conducts research and development and provides maintenance services for auxiliary power units.
Collins Aerospace operates a maintenance, repair and overhaul center in Wrocław serving customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The site supports flight controls, safety equipment, cabin systems, cargo-handling components and aircraft power systems.
RTX said its Polish operations combine local engineering and production with long-term relationships across the national supply chain. That structure supports Poland’s defense modernization while giving the company an industrial base for military and commercial programs in Europe.
