Countering Aerial, Surface and Ballistic Missile Threats

The latest award builds on the $677 million contract modification from the U.S. Navy in June 2024 for SPY-6 radars. Issued under a potential $3.2 billion contract award in 2022, the modification required the delivery of SPY-6 radar hardware, production and sustainment support services through September 2028 to provide the naval fleet with enhanced detection, electronic warfare protection and air surveillance capabilities.

RTX said at the time that the Navy will integrate the radar into the USS Jack H. Lucas Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, among other surface ships, as part of a plan to equip 65 vessels with the air and missile defense capability over the next decade.
