The contract, from the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, is valued $90 million under the terms of an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, which is part of a foreign military sale of digital radar warning receiver systems to the government of Japan, the Pentagon announced on Tuesday.
The Raytheon-produced AN/ALR‐69A digital radar warning receiver system provides aircraft with enhanced protection and detection of enemy air defenses at a lower cost.
The system is currently being tested on multiple U.S. aircraft such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon and C-130 Hercules, according to Raytheon.
The contract from the Defense Department will specifically provide for the "fabrication, integration, testing and delivery of line replaceable units and shop replaceable units," the Pentagon said.
Work on the contract will occur in California and Mississippi with an estimated completion date of May 2023.
More than $51.4 million will be obligated to Raytheon from Japanese foreign military sale funds.
