The U.S. Defense Department has awarded Raytheon, a subsidiary of RTX, a contract potentially worth $20.7 billion for the production of the Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM). This multi-year contract spans five years with options for two additional years and includes orders for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and 16 international customers.
This contract is significant as it aims to replenish munitions depleted by ongoing conflicts, particularly in Ukraine and the Middle East. Pentagon acquisition chief Michael Duffey emphasized that this award enhances the capability of the Joint Force and allied nations, ensuring a decisive advantage for warfighters. The contract is expected to nearly double AMRAAM production rates, with a target of 1,900 units annually.
Looking ahead, the contract was issued as an undefinitized contract action, allowing work to commence while final details are finalized. The Pentagon is seeking continued congressional support for multiyear procurement authority to ensure sustained production and stability for the industrial base. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
