The U.S. Navy has awarded Raytheon Co. a $243,478,659 contract for procurement of 89 Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) Block I all up rounds, spares, containers, and services. The contract was awarded in Raytheon's third quarter.
The SM-6 provides U.S. Navy sailors and their vessels extended range protection against fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles as part of the Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA) mission area.
SM-6 delivers over-the-horizon air defense capability by combining the Standard Missile's airframe and propulsion with the Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile's signal processing and guidance control capabilities.
