Overview
- Raytheon Missiles and Defense received a $515.8 million contract modification under N00024-25-C-5501 to continue integration and production support for the AN/SPY-6(V), with work scheduled to finish by May 2027 and the change announced Wednesday.
- The AN/SPY-6(V) is a ground-up radar built on gallium nitride modules that gives much greater sensitivity and multi-target tracking than the legacy AN/SPY-1 and serves as the sensing backbone for the Flight III Arleigh Burke destroyer.
- Contract work is spread across ten U.S. states, with 54 percent at Raytheon’s Marlborough, Massachusetts site and significant shares in Pascagoula (14 percent), Moorestown (9 percent), Newport News, and Kauai, reflecting the program’s need for shipyard fitting, software engineering, and range testing.
- Funding for the modification draws on layered Navy appropriations from fiscal years 2017 through 2026 and includes $17.5 million in FY2026 operations and maintenance funds that must be obligated before the fiscal year ends.
- The deal locks in near-term production and integration work that supports fleet sensor readiness, gives Germany a roughly 26 percent share through FMS, and makes shipyard integration schedules and the FY2026 O&M obligation the near-term items to watch.
