Raytheon Co., Tucson, Arizona, is being awarded a $15,500,000 modification to a previously awarded contract (N00024-13-C-5406) to procure spares for the Land-based Phalanx Weapon System configuration of the MK15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon System. The Phalanx CIWS is a fast-reaction terminal defense against low- and high-flying, high-speed maneuvering anti-ship missile threats that have penetrated all other defenses. The CIWS is an integral element of the Fleet Defense In-Depth concept and the Ship Self-Defense Program. Operating either autonomously or integrated with a combat system, it is an automatic terminal defense weapon system designed to detect, track, engage, and destroy anti-ship missile threats penetrating outer defense envelopes. Work will be performed in Williston, Vermont (23.4 percent); Louisville, Kentucky (16.9 percent); Andover, Massachusetts (11.6 percent); Grand Rapids, Michigan (6.2 percent); Phoenix, Arizona (4.5 percent); Tucson, Arizona (3 percent); and other locations under 1 percent (34.4 percent), and is expected to be completed by February 2017. Fiscal 2013 and 2014 other procurement (Army), and fiscal 2014 operations and maintenance (Army) contract funds in the amount of $15,500,000, will be obligated at time of award. Fiscal 2014 operations and maintenance (Army) funds in the amount of $7,233,000 will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, District of Columbia, is the contracting activity.
