Raytheon nets $536 million deal from US Navy for SPY-6 radars

Raytheon, an RTX business, has been awarded a $536 million contract from the US Navy for the SPY-6 family of radars. 

As informed, the deal is a follow-on to the previously awarded Integration and Production Support contract and includes upgrading Flight IIA destroyers with the SPY-6(V)4 variant.

Under the sole source award, Raytheon will provide continued support for the SPY-6 family of radars through training, engineering services, ship installation, integration, and testing, as well as software upgrades to enhance radar capabilities.

“SPY-6 is the most advanced radar in the U.S. naval fleet, providing ships a new level of defense against evolving threats,” said Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon.

“This contract highlights the essential role of this technology in supporting the U.S. Navy’s technology roadmap for several decades to come.”

SPY-6 is now installed on two new US Navy ships, with three additional ships slated for installation and undergoing various stages of testing in 2025.

Over the next decade, SPY-6 is expected to be deployed on more than 60 US Navy ships, enhancing defense against air, surface, and ballistic threats.

Work on this contract is expected to be completed by May 2026.

Recently, Raytheon revealed that it secured a contract from the US Navy to produce AIM-9X Block II missiles.
