RTX business, Raytheon, has secured a $92 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from the U.S. Air Force to upgrade processors for the Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile program.
The upgrades will support the integration of the Air Intercept Missile-120C-8 and AIM-120D-3 variants, the Department of Defense said Tuesday.
The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center awarded the contract using foreign military sales funds. The presolicitation notice for the contract was published on SAM.gov in July 2023.
Raytheon will work in Tucson, Arizona, with completion expected by August 6, 2027.
