Missile Defense Agency Selects Raytheon To Provide New Missile Defense Radar

Missile Defense Agency Selects Raytheon To Provide New Missile Defense Radar: "The Missile Defense Agency has awarded Raytheon a $190 million fixed price incentive fee contract to construct, integrate and test a new Army/Navy Transportable Radar Surveillance (AN/TPY-2) radar. The AN/TPY-2 is the most capable and reliable radar currently deployed to defend against the ballistic missile threat.
'The AN/TPY-2 provides a critical Ballistic Missile Defense capability for the warfighter,' said David Gulla, vice president, National and Theater Security Programs for Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems.
'We continue to partner with MDA to drive more affordability across our programs and enable a more rapid delivery of solutions into theater. We will continue to partner with our customer community and identify opportunities for increased cost savings and efficiencies.'"
