Raytheon, an RTX business, received Missile Defense Agency contract modifications totaling $966.7 million for AN/TPY-2 radar work — $773.5M as a noncompetitive modification to a previously awarded indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity radar development contract, plus $193.2M as a noncompetitive hybrid task order for spares replenishment and continued AN/TPY-2 development support. Performance March 27, 2026 through October 31, 2030. Coverage from ClearanceJobs, Virginia Business, and GovCon Wire.
What AN/TPY-2 does
AN/TPY-2 — formally the Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control Model 2 — is a high-resolution X-band missile-defense radar used to detect, track, and discriminate ballistic threats across multiple flight phases. A Gallium Nitride (GaN) variant was delivered in 2025 with improved sensitivity, surveillance capacity, and operational range.
Why this is a $966M moment
- $773M of R&D inside one set of modifications signals continued GaN-variant maturation and likely software-defined upgrades
- $193M for spares is the production-tail signal — fielded radars are getting heavier use
- AN/TPY-2 is forward-deployed (Israel, Japan, GCC states) — international logistics demand grows in tandem
What to do
- RF/microwave specialty firms: GaN refresh is the single biggest tier-2 opportunity in MDA right now
- Field-service / depot subs: spares ramp implies more depot throughput
