Raytheon has been awarded a $536 million contract from the U.S. Navy to continue its work on the SPY-6 radar family, the company announced. 

The contract builds on earlier efforts under the Navy’s Integration and Production Support program and covers upgrades to Flight IIA destroyers with the SPY-6(V)4 radar variant.

“SPY-6 is the most advanced radar in the U.S. naval fleet, providing ships a new level of defense against evolving threats,” said Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon. “This contract highlights the essential role of this technology in supporting the Navy’s roadmap for decades to come.”

Under the sole-source contract, Raytheon will also continue supporting the SPY-6 radar family by delivering training, engineering services, shipboard installation, system integration and testing.

The radar is currently active on two Navy ships, with installations on three more scheduled for 2025. Over the next decade, more than 60 vessels are expected to carry the SPY-6, enhancing detection of air, surface, and ballistic threats.

According to Raytheon, work under the contract is expected to be completed by May 2026.
