Press Release, Andover MA, 21 July 2026: Raytheon, an RTX business, was awarded a $1.8 billion contract extension for SPY-6 radars for the US Navy, building on the initial hardware production and sustainment contract awarded in March 2022. The contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value to $3.3 billion.
“This contract extension reflects the Navy’s confidence in our ability to deliver advanced, reliable and scalable radar solutions,” said Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon. “Our continued investment and commitment to ramping production will ensure the fleet has the sensing advantage to stay ahead of evolving threats for decades to come.”
SPY-6 is now aboard two commissioned US Navy ships and is installed on eleven others, all of which are undergoing various stages of testing. Over the next decade, SPY-6 is expected to be deployed on more than 50 US Navy ships, giving the fleet unmatched sensing capability and multi-mission readiness to stay ahead of evolving threats.
Raytheon’s SPY-6 family of radars are built on more than a decade of design, testing and manufacturing experience and have been validated by successful performance at sea. The company has invested more than $800 million to modernise its radar manufacturing facilities and expand production capacity. With these upgrades, Raytheon is positioned to double SPY-6 output by 2028, helping ensure long-term availability and lowering cost for the Navy.
Raytheon is significantly expanding its engineering workforce in Andover to support this critical programme.
