Under the firm-fixed-price contract, Raytheon Network Centric Systems will deliver nine extremely high frequency follow-on terminals to the U.S. Navy. These terminals are a vital element in the Navys SATCOM program and precede the Navy Multiband Terminal, or NMT, awarded to Raytheon last month.
"This award, along with our recent NMT win, recognizes the depth of Raytheons SATCOM expertise," said Jerry Powlen, vice president, Network Centric Systems Integrated Communications Systems. "We continue to improve the reliability and performance of our SATCOM systems while delivering new and innovative solutions across the fleet."
Raytheon will continue to provide Mission Support services as part of an existing Navy SATCOM engineering services contract.
