Raytheon Technologies, Tucson, Arizona, is awarded a $80,181,964 cost-plus-incentive-fee, cost-plus-fixed-fee modification (P00044) to a previously awarded contract (N0001919C0079). This modification adds scope to support the continued development and qualification of seeker processor hardware and integration assets for the Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) program, procuring 8 Ultra 1.1+ units and provides updated Ultra 1.1+ processor stacks, hardware-in-the-loop environments, and test equipment upgrades to enable integration and qualification of the MST seeker system. Work includes procurement and assembly of Ultra 1.1+ material for both U.S. government and Raytheon integration test assets, updates to simulation and lab facilities such as the signal processor-in-the-loop and air vehicle system integration laboratory, and qualification testing focused on electromagnetic interference and vulnerability. These activities directly support MST initial operational capability fielding efforts by ensuring the seeker maintains performance in operational environments while reducing risk ahead of low-rate production and fleet deployment.
