RTX business Raytheon has received a U.S. Navy contract modification worth about $216.4 million for the development and procurement of special tooling and special test equipment to boost the Standard Missile-6 all-up round production capacity.
The Department of Defense said Thursday Naval Sea Systems Command obligated $136.1 million in fiscal 2024 weapons procurement funds at the time of award.
Work will occur in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Georgia, Tennessee and other locations through September 2029.
The Navy awarded the modification under a potential $1 billion multiyear procurement contract awarded in 2019 for SM-6 full-rate production requirements, round design agent and spares.
