RTX fined $200m for release of classified military aircraft data to Russia and China
US defence giant RTX has agreed to a $200 million fine from regulators in Washington DC related to the unauthorised disclosure of sensitive information from nearly two dozen military aircraft.
Some of that information found its way to the USA’s primary geopolitical adversaries, including Russia, China and Iran.
The US Department of State announced the settlement on 30 August, saying the aerospace conglomerate committed 750 violations of the USA’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) between 2017 and 2023. Those rules restrict the export of sensitive military-related technologies, including both physical materials and information.
In addition to the $200 million penalty, RTX must submit to a three-year consent agreement with the government that requires at least one external audit of the company’s ITAR compliance programme and the implementation of remedial compliance measures.
The state department says it has agreed to suspend $100 million of the fine, on the condition those funds are used to implement the prescribed corrective measures and “strengthen RTX’s compliance programme”.

In one 2019 incident, an RTX employee brought a company laptop containing information on the F-22 stealth fighter to St Petersburg, Russia while on personal travel
RTX voluntarily disclosed the violations to regulators, who say the ITAR breaches included unauthorised exports of classified defence articles and failure to establish proper jurisdiction and classification over sensitive materials.
“The majority of violations resulting from jurisdiction and classification errors, in particular, reflect a clear pattern of historical systemic compliance failures in multiple of [RTX’s] operating divisions,” the state department says. “In some instances, these operating divisions failed to fully remediate these failures.”
RTX is the parent company for munitions and radar manufacturer Raytheon, engine-maker Pratt & Whitney and aviation systems supplier Collins Aerospace.
The specific nature of the security violations varies from case to case. While some instances saw unauthorised disclosures to friendly nations like Australia, Germany and Norway, other examples resulted in sensitive information falling into the hands of adversaries such as Russia, China and Iran.
Several specific incidents are outlined in a charging letter released by authorities in Washington.
In one instance, controlled technical data was improperly sent to Chinese suppliers by RTX’s aviation systems subsidiary Collins Aerospace. That data was used to procure printed wiring boards from unauthorised subcontractors in China.
Those components were subsequently provided to both the Pentagon and other US defence contractors for use in nearly two dozen military aircraft, including the Boeing VC-25 presidential transport aircraft, Boeing B-1B heavy-bomber, Lockheed Martin U-2 reconnaissance jet, Boeing B-52 strategic bomber, Lockheed Martin F-16 fighter, Boeing F-15 fighter, Fairchild Republic A-10 ground-attack jet and the Boeing F/A-18 fighter.
Numerous rotorcraft, fixed-wing transports, aerial refuellers and uncrewed aerial vehicles were also impacted.
Another improper release at Collins saw a Chinese national receive technical data related to the Boeing E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft and the Embraer KC-390 medium transport jet.

Another incident saw an employee travel to Iran carrying a company laptop containing technical data on the Northrop Grumman B-2 stealth bomber, although cybersecurity protocols remotely froze access to the laptop’s hard drive
In a separate incident from 2021, an RTX employee used a company-issued laptop containing sensitive technical data while on a personal trip to Russia. Internal cybersecurity measures flagged the issue, but the location alert was ignored as a false positive.
The laptop contained technical data on the Lockheed F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters, as well as the U-2. That employee had travelled to Russia on four prior occasions, bringing the laptop on at least one those earlier trips, according to the state department.
Another incident in 2019 saw an employee travel to Iran while carrying a company laptop containing technical data on the Northrop B-2 stealth bomber and F-22 fighter. In that case, cybersecurity protocols remotely froze access to the laptop’s hard drive.
According to the charging letter, the majority of violations occurred within Collins Aerospace, back when the division was an independent firm called Rockwell Collins.
The chain of events is complicated by RTX’s tangled corporate history of mergers and acquisitions. Rockwell Collins was acquired by defence contractor United Technologies Corporation (UTC) in 2018. UTC and Raytheon subsequently combined in 2020, with the result being called Raytheon Technologies Corporation.
The conglomerate re-branded to the current RTX name in 2023. FlightGlobal was awaiting comment from RTX at the time of publication.
A similar charging letter was sent by the state department to airframer Boeing earlier in the year, outlining 199 ITAR violations on programmes including Boeing’s E-7 airborne early warning and control jet, CH-47F Chinook rotorcraft and AH-64 attack helicopter. Some of the violations occurred at Boeing subsidiaries in India and Australia.
An associated court order from February indicates Boeing will be fined $51 million for the infractions, with $24 million of that to be suspended and directed toward compliance costs associated with addressing the security lapses.

Laptop aziendale su cui c'era anche materiale riservato o con restrizioni di divulgazione..
Se ci hai a che fare quotidianamente dopo un po' diventa "normale" maneggiare certe informazioni e non pensi più a come e se puoi portarlo all'estero per un viaggio di lavoro..
La routine ammazza i matrimoni ma anche le procedure di sicurezza..

La routine ammazza i matrimoni ma anche le procedure di sicurezza..
Vai a sapere cosa cosa fossero effettivamente i dati "non esportabili"..
Ops.. comunque cambia poco, tanta gente si porta il PC aziendale in ferie..
Se si fosse trattato di un caso di spionaggio conclamato credo che il tono dell'articolo sarebbe stato diverso..
si, anche io me lo son portato, al mare a Fregene; ma fammi capire, tu lavori per la difesa USA e te ne vai in Russia, Cina e Iran con il laptop aziendalein vacanza?!?!?
Manco Fantozzi. Se questa e' la media della gente che lavora alla difesa USA e con gli aerei militari si capiscono tante cose...
Per alcune posizioni di contractors del DoD non puoi viaggiare all'estero se non con previa autorizzazione, mi chiedo come gli sia stata concessa vista la destinazione...

Corporate stupidity e' la risposta, IMHO.
Sono giorni che lo vedo impegnato nel pattugliamento di quest’area; qualcuno sa dirmi cosa fa di preciso questo nostro Gulfstream, intendo mediante evidenti sistemi di controllo sofisticati ? E perché ogni volta deve far ritorno e ripartire da Pratica di Mare anziché essere basato in prossimità presso base NATO ?
Italian G550 CAEW Aircraft Carried Out First Surveillance Mission Over Eastern Europe Today
One of the two Italian Air Force G550 CAEW (Conformal Airborne Early Warning) aircraft flew a mission over Eastern Romania near the border with Moldova
theaviationist.com
Per il momento ci sono solo due G550 CAEW operativi, gli altri sono in fase di allestimento e' avranno capacita' piu' ampie. Con cosi pochi aerei non puoi pensare di basarli permanentemente in Romania limitando in tal modo altre operazioni da altre parti. Se lo fai ti devi portare appresso anche tutto il resto, i tecnici, gli specialisti e gli equipaggi di volo, piloti e operatori di sistemi, anche apparati e pezzi di ricambio. Questo personale specializzato e' molto pregiato non c'e in grandi numeri e poi si devono anche dare il cambio. A prima vista potrebbe apparire uno spreco andare avanti e indietro da Pratica, ma considerando anche tutto il resto, probabilmente conviene.
Russia senza aerei chiede aiuto al Kazakistan
Le sanzioni occidentali e la chiusura dello spazio aereo in gran parte dell’Europa stanno avendo ripercussioni pesanti sul traffico aereo e sull’aviazione russa. Le compagnie aeree del Paese hanno visto scendere il numero di passeggeri del 14% e Mosca prevede di fornire ai vettori sino a mille velivoli di produzione nazionale entro il 2030, ma il lancio viene costantemente posticipato.
Il problema riguarda anche i voli interni, dal momento che Mosca è a corto di aerei civili. Si è quindi rivolta ai vettori dell’Asia centrale, in particolare al vicino Kazakistan, per riuscire a mantenere i colelgamenti nazionali. Il ministero dei trasporti russo, come spiega Italia Oggi, è in trattativa per far sì che le compagnie aeree kazake operino voli interni russi. Una circostanza senza precedenti, dato che storicamente è sempre stato permesso solo alle compagnie aeree nazionali di effettuare i voli in Russia.
Prima della guerra in Ucraina i vettori russi avevano a disposizione 850 velivoli e un anno dopo, nel 2023, la flotta era scesa a 730 velivoli. Se il trend proseguisse così la Russia potrebbe arrivare a perdere, entro il 2026, circa la metà della flotta rimanente.

Una grande potenza come la Russia ha dei problemi? Costruiva aerei, satellii, razzi faceva a gara con gli Stati Uniti per la gara dello spazio e adesso... bho.
dall'esito delle sanzioni dopo 3 anni direi che possono anche farsi un aereo...gli arriva merce dal mondo intero via altri paesi
Evidentemente no..
Cos'ha fatto l'industria aeronautica russa dal 1991 ad oggi? Quali innovazioni ha sviluppato, quanti nuovi modelli ha messo sul mercato?
Negli ultimi trent'anni ha sostanzialmente tirato a campare grazie alle eredità sovietiche, le uniche novità sono il Sukhoi Superjet ed il Tupolev 204 (che però è nato cittadino URSS)..
In campo spaziale va pure peggio..
Semplicemente non ne avevano bisogno, bastava chiamare Airbus o Boeing e gli aerei e i pezzi sono sempre arrivati, fino a tre anni fa almeno.
Ora la necessità e lo stato delle cose sono diversi, non solo possono ristabilire una produzione autonoma (ci vuol tempo, ovvio) ma possono anche e soprattutto fare contratti di leasing con i loro amici cinesi o tramite i paesi BRICS

In una frase, i manager hanno rubato il rubabile.
Dall'industria ex sovietica è nato anche l'Antonov 148, che è stato tutto fuorché un successo ed è stato ritirato per vari problemi da più compagnie (e che è presente nella mia profile picture
). Antonov però è un'azienda ucraina e, anche se vari esemplari sono stati prodotti prodotti in Russia, ora per ovvi motivi non li producono più lì.
