In Arlington, Virginia, RTX Ventures, the venture capital arm of RTX, has recently invested in laser fusion company Xcimer Energy Corporation (XEC) in a minority capacity. The investment aims to assist XEC in its efforts to develop scalable pulsed-laser technologies capable of generating multi-kilojoule output. Alongside the investment, RTX and XEC have entered into a teaming agreement to investigate incorporating and packaging XEC's pulsed-laser technologies into RTX's defense systems. This collaboration offers the U.S. military the potential for enhanced capabilities in the defense sector.
