Raytheon won a contract extension worth $1.8 billion with the U.S. Navy for its SPY-6 radar systems, building on the original hardware production and sustainment contract signed in March 2022. The Raytheon announcement notes that the AESA [active electronically scanned array] SPY-6 3D radar is now aboard two commissioned U.S. Navy ships and is installed on 11 others, all of which are in various stages of testing. Over the next decade, SPY-6 is expected to be deployed on more than 50 U.S. Navy ships. The Navy contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value to $3.3 billion.
