Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has been awarded a $515 million contract from the U.S. Navy for continued support of the SPY-6 family of radars.
The contract is a follow-on to the Integration and Production Support contract awarded in June 2025 and includes upgrading Flight IIA destroyers with the SPY-6(V)4 variant.
Under the sole source award, Raytheon will provide ongoing support for the SPY-6 radar family to the U.S. Navy, including the government of Germany.
The contract also carries the potential for additional countries to be incorporated under the Foreign Military Sales program.
Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon, commented on the milestone, saying: “With over a decade of demonstrated success at sea, SPY-6 remains the U.S. Navy’s most advanced maritime radar, providing the fleet with unmatched sensing power and multi-mission readiness to counter evolving threats.”
Borgonovi added: “Backed by an $800 million investment to modernize our radar manufacturing facilities, we’re accelerating production and are expecting to double SPY-6 output by 2028.”
SPY-6 is currently 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, SPY-6 is expected to be deployed on more than 50 U.S. Navy ships, strengthening defense against air, surface, ballistic, and electronic warfare threats.
The radar system is among several programs designed and manufactured at Raytheon’s Radar Development Facility in Andover, Massachusetts, a 30,000-square-foot site supporting production for U.S. and allied forces.
The facility features a gallium nitride foundry that produces semiconductors essential to SPY-6 and other Raytheon radar systems, and is described as one of the most advanced vertically integrated manufacturing sites in the world.
Raytheon is actively recruiting engineers across multiple disciplines to support the SPY-6 program as production accelerates toward the 2028 output target.
RTX, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, employs more than 180,000 people globally and reported 2025 sales of more than $88 billion.
