Raytheon has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Navy for services in support of the Air and Missile Defense Radar Program. The deal, announced by the Department of Defense, is valued at more than $136.5 million under the terms of a fixed-price-incentive, firm target contract, which is a modification of a previous contract.

Work on the contract will occur in Marlborough, Mass., and is expected to be complete by April 2021. The total amount of the contract will be obligated to Raytheon from Navy fiscal 2018 shipbuilding and conversion funds at time of award.
