Raytheon has secured a deal from the U.S. Navy to manufacture Medium Range Intercept Capability, or MRIC, a surface-to-air missile system to detect and defeat airborne threats.
The RTX business secured a $380 million modification to a previously awarded contract for the full-rate production scope of the MRIC, the Department of Defense said. It is a follow-up to a $32.5 million undefinitized contract action that Raytheon received from the Navy in July for the purchase of 44 sets of long lead items, or LLIs, for the full rate production of the MRIC.
The total value of the effort is $412.1 million.
Work will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, until August 2028. The Marine Corps Systems Command in Quantico, Virginia, serves as the contracting activity.
What is the MRIC?
Developed by Raytheon, the MRIC can detect, track, identify and neutralize cruise missiles, manned and unmanned aircraft, and other aerial threats. It is designed to protect near fixed and semi-fixed critical assets.
Lt. Col. Matthew Beck, a product manager at the U.S. Marine Corps, said in a previous interview that MRIC can shield warfighters from potential threats while giving them the freedom to carry out their mission within an enemy’s weapon engagement zone.
