Hi, I'm Doug Stevenson. I'm with
0:47
Raytheon, part of the RTX group of
0:49
companies. I'm the Vice President of
0:51
Europe and NATO for Raytheon.
0:54
And we're excited to be here at Bedek. I
0:56
represent Raytheon, one of the three
0:58
companies of RTX, Collins, Pratt &
1:01
Whitney, and Raytheon. We're presenting
1:03
today at Bedek our air defense solutions
1:08
Also our air weapons including air
1:11
effects like MALD, Stormbreaker, and
1:14
AMRAAM. The sectors in Europe that are
1:16
most interesting to us right now, of
1:17
course, are air defense, which is
1:19
getting a lot of traction and many much
1:22
demand across NATO and our European
1:25
allies. We have significant demand
1:27
growing across the the European market
1:30
for our air defense solutions,
1:32
predominantly Patriot, and also our
1:34
partnership with Kongsberg on the NASAMS
1:37
system for medium-range air defense.
1:39
The NASAMS system uses the AMRAAM
1:41
effector from Raytheon, which is also
1:45
air dominant effector for air-to-air
1:47
engagements. We have significant
1:50
customers across NATO and Europe.
1:52
[music] Of course, Germany is one of our
1:53
largest customers. Belgium is now
1:55
emerging as one of our newest larger
1:58
customers. Belgium, in fact, ordered and
2:01
orders for three of our major air
2:03
dominance effectors in December, AMRAAM,
2:07
AIM-9X, and Stormbreaker. Stormbreaker
2:15
it's a gravity-fed bomb which is using
2:18
an all-weather seeker and can work
2:20
within the European climate all weather
2:23
round to support engagements on
2:26
high-precision strikes on ground
2:30
So, Raytheon predominantly focuses on
2:32
the high-end weapon systems that are
2:38
the most predominant threats in the
2:40
European region, many of which we see in
2:44
So, we are principally focused on those
2:48
advanced threats that really require
2:51
precision capability and some of the
2:54
let's say advanced technologies are
2:56
coming out of the US.
2:58
Right now we we we have customers across
3:01
Europe and we have also a presence in
3:03
Europe across RTX in many regions. We
3:05
have locations in 65 different areas in
3:09
Europe, 21,000 employees across RTX,
3:13
and you know, customers
3:16
NATO and Europe. Poland alone, we have
3:20
>> in in the RTX group. So, we have a
3:22
significant presence across Europe.
3:28
you know, work [music] and
3:30
customers across the region.
3:32
I would say there's a tremendous amount
3:34
of interest on the Eastern European side
3:38
demand, but also here in Belgium,
3:41
Netherlands, there's increasing demand
3:44
for our products. Really dominated
3:46
within the NATO community. Bedek as a
3:49
first-time show this year was really a
3:50
great success. RTX was very proud to be
3:53
a prime sponsor here of the event this
3:55
year. I think they did a great job first
3:58
year for the event. And I think we're
4:00
going to see a lot of growth for Bedek
