CAES has won a $200 million follow-on, full-rate hardware production and sustainment award from Raytheon, an RTX business.
Under the contract, CAES will provide fully-tested radar module assemblies for the U.S. Navy’s AN/SPY-6 family of radars.
“SPY-6 is one of the most advanced naval radars in production, and CAES is proud to contribute to the performance and reliability of this system,” said CAES President and CEO Mike Kahn. “We look forward to our continued work with Raytheon to provide our military with this critical capability.”
SPY-6 is the Navy family of radars that performs air and missile defense on six classes of ships. SPY-6 can defend against ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hostile aircraft and surface ships. It provides greater detection range, increased sensitivity and more accurate discrimination over legacy radars.
CAES is a long-term partner to Raytheon on the SPY-6 program, and has begun delivering hardware. This follow-on, multiyear award demonstrates CAES’s capacity to provide the SPY-6 radar with reliable components and meet the Navy fleet’s needs for many years to come, the company said.
