Raytheon, an RTX business, announced that it received a $1.8 billion contract extension for SPY-6 radars for the U.S. Navy, building on the initial hardware production and sustainment contract awarded in March 2022. The contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value to $3.3 billion.
Raytheon developed the SPY-6 radar family over more than a decade of design, testing and manufacturing experience. Additionally, the company has invested more than $800 million to modernize its radar manufacturing facilities and expand production capacity, positioning it to double SPY-6 output by 2028. This includes expanding its engineering workforce in Andover, Massachusetts.
SPY-6 is now aboard two commissioned U.S. Navy ships and installed on 11 others, all of which are undergoing various stages of testing. Over the next decade, the Navy expects to deploy the radars on more than 50 vessels.
