Tucson, Arizona – The U.S. Air Force has awarded Raytheon Co. a $573 million contract modification to exercise the option on a previously awarded contract for Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM).
Work will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, and is expected to be complete by February 2019.
AMRAAM is a combat-proven missile that has demonstrated operational flexibility in both air-to-air and surface-launch engagement scenarios and provides enhanced operational capability and future growth options.
Procured by 36 countries, the AMRAAM has been operational on the F-16, F-15, F/A-18, F-22, Typhoon, Gripen, Tornado, Harrier, F-4, and the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. It is also the baseline missile for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System.
