RTX will present an integrated portfolio of military and commercial aviation technologies at Dubai Airshow 2025, taking place from November 17 to 21. The company will demonstrate how its three core divisions — Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon — work together to build a sustainable aerospace ecosystem while strengthening regional defense capabilities. RTX will display its latest innovations in integrated air and missile defense, counter-drone systems, air warfare solutions, tactical communications, and precision navigation under interference. It will also unveil next-generation engines for both military and commercial aircraft, as well as advanced maintenance and aftersales solutions.
Fahad Mohammed Al Mheiri, Managing Director of Raytheon Emirates (a subsidiary of RTX), described the company’s participation as a commitment to advancing both defense and commercial innovation in the UAE and the wider region. “We are delivering next-generation capabilities and driving technological excellence while supporting local growth,” he said.
RTX strengthens its partnership with the UAE through local production and education
The company continues its long-term partnership with the Emirates through industrial cooperation, local manufacturing initiatives, and STEM education programs that help build a highly skilled Emirati workforce.
Dubai property market news updates often highlight how large-scale industrial projects and international partnerships contribute to urban development. The presence of global firms like RTX fuels investor interest in industrial and technology zones where manufacturing sites and offices are based. Such projects are seen as indicators of long-term economic stability and growth potential.
RTX will also sponsor the 12th Dubai International Air Chiefs’ Conference (DIACC), hosted by the UAE Air Force and Air Defense. The conference theme, “Hypersonic Advantage and the Future of Air Power,” will bring together air force leaders from over 80 countries, along with top executives, policymakers, and technology innovators. Discussions will focus on new opportunities, strategic collaboration, and the future of aerial dominance in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

For expats living in the UAE and working in the aerospace or defense sectors, understanding the legal framework for long-term residency and asset management is essential. The inheritance law in UAE for expats governs the transfer of property and assets, a necessary consideration for professionals owning real estate or business shares in the Emirates. Proper documentation ensures family protection and simplifies the process of transferring ownership.
RTX operates across three primary business segments. Collins Aerospace focuses on aviation systems and components, Pratt & Whitney develops and manufactures aircraft engines, and Raytheon specializes in defense systems and military solutions. Together, they provide comprehensive capabilities covering the full spectrum of aerospace technology.
