Raytheon Technologies fears it could find itself at a competitive disadvantage if rival Lockheed Martin is permitted to buy propulsion provider Aerojet Rocketdyne, a Raytheon official said on 17 February.

Raytheon worries that Lockheed Martin could make it difficult for its competitors to buy Aerojet Rocketdyne products. Most of Raytheon’s missiles, including the Standard Missile family, the workhorse Tomahawk cruise missile, and the proposed Next-Generation Interceptor, use Aerojet Rocketdyne propulsion.

“We, obviously, have some concerns about that acquisition,” Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes told the Barclays Industrial Select Conference. “We’re going to make our concerns known to US anti-trust regulators, and the US Department of Defense,” he added.

Lockheed Martin announced in December that it plans to buy Aerojet Rocketdyne for USD4.4 billion. The US government, led by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), is reviewing the proposed transaction.
