Raytheon, an RTX business, has been awarded a $536 million contract from the U.S. Navy for the SPY-6 family of radars. The contract 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 U.S. 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 U.S. Navy ships, enhancing defense against air, surface, and ballistic threats.

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