Raytheon, Nightwing Group to pay $8.4M to resolve false claims act allegations

Raytheon, RTX (RTX) Corporation, and Nightwing Group, and Nightwing Intelligence Solutions, have agreed to pay $8.4M to resolve allegations that Raytheon violated the False Claims Act by failing to comply with cybersecurity requirements in contracts or subcontracts involving the Department of Defense, the DOJ announced. Raytheon is a subsidiary of Arlington, Virginia-based defense contractor RTX Corporation, formerly known as Raytheon Technologies Corporation. In March 2024, RTX Corporation sold its Cybersecurity, Intelligence, and Services business, which since became part of Dulles, Virginia-based Nightwing. The settlement resolves conduct that allegedly occurred between 2015 and 2021, prior to Nightwing’s acquisition of the business, the DOJ stated.
