Overview
Range Generation Next LLC (RGNext) is an American joint venture operations company owned by Raytheon Company and General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT). It delivers range services and specialized technical support to government and defense customers, with a workforce described by the company as world-class and numbering around 400 employees. Its capabilities span technical services, engineering, communications, systems operations, maintenance and sustainment, ballistic missile and guided weapon testing, cybersecurity, information technology, and logistics. RGNext positions itself as a cost-conscious, quality-driven service provider. According to its corporate materials, the company is committed to providing customers with unparalleled service, meeting quality assurance objectives, and reducing costs, while requiring continuous improvement and promoting efficient practices so that each employee is empowered to support the customer's missions. This positioning reflects the joint venture's role as a long-term operator of mission-critical range and test infrastructure rather than a product manufacturer. The company's portfolio includes space launch and range services, space situational awareness, ballistic missile and guided weapon tests, and cyber and software solutions. Its operations and specialized technical services are conducted at multiple locations, including Huntsville, Alabama, which serves as a principal site. Leadership is provided by President and CEO Katie Boyle, a Raytheon veteran of more than two decades who has overseen the joint venture's diverse portfolio and workforce. As a joint venture, RGNext is not publicly listed; it is a privately held limited liability company whose parents are major U.S. defense and IT contractors. Its work is closely tied to U.S. national security space and missile defense activities, and it competes in the government services and range operations market. The company maintains a public web presence at rgnext.com and recruits through its parent organizations.
