WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) has signed an exclusive teaming agreement with
Major Tool & Machine, Inc. to develop array structures for the
U.S. Navy's SPY-6 radar program when it transitions from low-rate
initial production to hardware production and sustainment.
SPY-6 is a family of next-generation, integrated air and missile
defense radars that is being installed on more than 50 ships
across seven Navy ship classes.
"Major Tool's array structures will literally serve as the
foundation upon which we build the U.S. Navy's most advanced
radars," said Paul Ferraro, vice
president of Raytheon's Seapower Capability Systems business. "Our
team of industry-leading partners is ready to deliver SPY-6's
unmatched, multi-mission capability to the surface fleet."
Since its inception in January
2014, the Raytheon-led SPY-6 program has met all 20
milestones, ahead of or on schedule. The radar has a track record
of performance, demonstrating its multi-mission capabilities
against an array of single and multiple, simultaneous targets
throughout the Navy's extensive testing program.
AN/SPY-6(V) remains on schedule for delivery to the first DDG 51
Flight III, the future USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125). The
first delivery of AN/SPY-6(V)2 to LHA 8, the USS
Bougainville, an America Class Amphibious Assault Ship, is on
plan for 2021.
