Raytheon Co. announced Tuesday that they have received a $184 million U.S. Navy contract to provide radar equipment for the Royal Australian Navy's Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) and the Spanish Navy's F-105 Frigate.
Under the Foreign Military Sales contract, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) will manufacture, integrate and test AN/SPY-1 D(V) system transmitters and MK99 Fire Control Systems for the AWD and F-105 programs.
