RTX business Raytheon has been awarded a $155.7 million task order to supply a total of 53 Joint Standoff Weapon Air-To-Ground Missiles to the U.S. Navy and the government of Bahrain.
The Department of Defense announced Friday that it ordered six units to replace missiles for use by the U.S. Navy as well as 47 missiles for the armed forces of Bahrain.
