The modification seeks to exercise an option in a contract awarded in 2013 in support of the service branchâs Air and Missile Defense Radar Program, the Defense Department said Tuesday.
The AMDR system works to help the Navyâs DDG-51 Flight III destroyer detect aerial, surface and ballistic missile threats and is composed of S-band, X-band radars and a radar suite controller.
Raytheon will perform work in Massachusetts through December 2017.
The Naval Sea Systems Command will obligate the full contract amount from fiscal 2017 shipbuilding and conversion funds at the time of award, according to DoD.
