Raytheon has secured a $1.02 billion contract modification from the US Department of Defense for the production of LTAMDS radars for the US Army. The award builds on a $2.1 billion base contract signed in 2024.
Including a further $1.7 billion order announced in September 2025, the total value of the LTAMDS program has now reached approximately $3.8 billion. Manufacturing associated with the latest contract action will take place at Raytheon’s Andover, Massachusetts site and is scheduled to conclude by March 2030.
The effort will be managed in close coordination with the US Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The LTAMDS is designed to replace aging Patriot radar systems that form part of the US Army’s air and missile defense architecture, as well as those operated by allied forces.
Capable of addressing both current and future threats, the radar can detect and track targets moving at speeds of up to Mach 5. It also offers 360-degree situational awareness and the ability to engage multiple targets simultaneously. In January, Raytheon announced a partnership with TTM Technologies, which could receive up to $200 million over three years to supply radio frequency assemblies, circuit boards, and other key electronic components for the program.
