The U.S. Navy has awarded Raytheon a $25.1M contract to supply spares of a medium-range, surface-to-air weapon system built to defend naval vessels against anti-ship missiles.
The company will provide life-of-type-buy and assembly-level components for the Navy’s Block I Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile through June 2021 under the firm-fixed-price contract, the Defense Department said Friday.
The Naval Sea Systems Command will obligate the full contract amount at the time of award and $12.1M of the obligated funds will expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
The service collaborated with nine NATO SEASPARROW Consortium members to develop ESSM, which is an upgraded version of the RIM-7 Seasparrow Missile platform.
