US Navy Orders More Raytheon SPY-6 Radars in $646M Deal
Raytheon hassecured a $646-million contract to produce four more SPY-6(V) radars for the US Navy.
With other agreements already in place, the latest procurement brings the total number of units under contract to 42, with deliveries expected by 2028.
“SPY-6 enables the US 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,” added Borgonovi.
SPY-6 Radar Program
The SPY-6 radar, available in four variants, provides full 360-degree coverage and is designed to counter cruise missiles, air and surface threats, and electronic attacks.
Raytheon manufactures the system at its Radar Development Facility in Andover, Massachusetts, a 30,000-square-foot, vertically integrated site that supports multiple radar programs for the US and allied forces.
The facility is highly automated and supports continuous testing and integration.
Earlier this month, Raytheon received a separate $536-million contract from the US Navy for SPY-6 units.
The agreement includes training, shipboard installation, engineering support, system integration, and software updates to improve radar performance. Deliveries are expected in 2026.
The recent contracts are part of a broader hardware, production, and sustainment deal initiated in 2022, valued at up to $3 billion over five years.
