Raytheon Awarded $39M Contract for Air Base Air Defense

The U.S. Air Force has awarded Raytheon, an RTX business, a $39 million contract to develop and integrate Battle Management Command and Control software into a prototype for air base air defense. The contract will last for an undisclosed period of time.

Under this contract, Raytheon will develop the command-and-control foundation to counter airborne threats and defend U.S. air bases around the world. Paul Ferraro, President of Air Power at Raytheon, said “We'll bring our unique decision aids along with many partner components to allow for increased efficiency and effectiveness in a complex attack while decreasing the manpower burden to operate the system."

Raytheon first showcased an Air Base Air Defense solution in Andoya, Norway in partnership with the Air Force Research Lab in 2022. This prototype will build on the lessons learned from that experiment. For more information on Raytheon's solutions for Air Base Air Defense, please visit their website.

Contracts will become available on HigherGov within 30 to 90 days once the contract is formally awarded by the government.
