🇺🇸🇮🇱🇯🇵 The Department of Defense has awarded Raytheon a $900 million modification providing for a 2 year extension to an existing IDIQ contract for the operations & sustainment support of the Sea-based, X-band Radar and the 13 AN/TPY-2 radars, both in CONUS & OCONUS.

SBX-1 is one of the sensors for the Missile Defense Agency's Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), which protects North America from ICBMs.

AN/TPY-2 is the radar for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), and is also deployed as a stand alone sensor in various locations (including a permanent installation in Israel and two in Japan).

This brings the cumulative ceiling of the contract to $2.6 billion, and extends the duration to Oct 31 2026, for an overall total of 9 years.

The MDA has also just released a new RFI for a future 5 year (2026-2031) sustainment contract for THAAD (both for the US Army and FMS Customers: 🇸🇦🇦🇪). Lockheed Martin is the overall prime contractor for THAAD.

RT @USAmbKyiv: Every single night, Russia launches drones and missiles at Ukraine, often striking civilian targets. Tonight, as a result of Russia’s attack, a residential high-rise building in Kyiv is on fire. Russia must be held to account.
