Under the sole source award, Raytheon will provide continued support for the SPY-6 family of radars to the US Navy, including the government of Germany, with the potential for other countries to be added under the Foreign Military Sales program.
“With over a decade of demonstrated success at sea, SPY-6 remains the US Navy’s most advanced maritime radar, providing the fleet with unmatched sensing power and multi-mission readiness to counter evolving threats,” said Barbara Borgonovi, President of Naval Power at Raytheon. “Backed by an $800 million investment to modernize our radar manufacturing facilities, we’re accelerating production and are expecting to double SPY‑6 output by 2028.”
SPY-6 is now aboard two commissioned US Navy ships and is installed on 11 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, enhancing defense against air, surface, ballistic and electronic warfare threats.
SPY-6 is one of several radar programs designed and manufactured at Raytheon’s Radar Development Facility in Andover, Massachusetts, a 30,000-square-foot site supporting the production of diverse types of radars for US and allied forces. This vertically integrated and highly automated site is one of the most advanced in the world, complete with a gallium nitride (GaN) foundry to produce the semiconductors essential for SPY-6 and other Raytheon radars.
