Raytheon to continue SPY-6 production for US Navy under $646M contract option

Raytheon, an RTX business, has been awarded a $646 million contract to continue producing AN/SPY-6(V) radars for the U.S. Navy. 

This is the fourth option exercised from the March 2022 hardware, production, and sustainment contract that is valued at up to $3 billion over five years.

Under this contract, the U.S. Navy will receive four additional radars, increasing the total amount of radars under contract for procurement to 42.

SPY-6 is one of several radar programs designed and manufactured at Raytheon’s Radar Development Facility in Andover, Massachusetts. The majority of the work under this contract will take place at the Andover facility through 2028.

“SPY-6 enables the U.S. Navy to see further than they’ve ever seen before, providing sailors with more time to respond to detected threats,” said Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon.

“This latest contract builds on our decades of experience and technical expertise in developing modular, scalable, and highly maintainable radars.”
