Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) will serve as the prime contractor for the sale that includes 600 TOW 2A radio-frequency missiles, 300 M220A2 TOW launchers and seven TOW 2A RF fly-to-buy lot acceptance missiles, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Wednesday.
The order also covers spare parts, test equipment, missile support tools, technical manuals, government-supplied equipment, logistics support, training and other technical services.
