Raytheon Gets $23B Navy Contract to Boost Tomahawk Missile Production
RTX said the seven-year deal will help lift Tomahawk output above 1,000 missiles a year as the Pentagon rebuilds weapons stocks.
- On Monday, the U.S. military awarded Raytheon, an RTX unit, a $22.9 billion contract to increase annual Tomahawk missile production from about 60 to more than 1,000 missiles per year.
- The war with Iran has placed "unprecedented strain on inventories," prompting the Pentagon to rebuild stocks through the "Arsenal of Freedom" strategy under the Acquisition Transformation Strategy.
- Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said the deal will accelerate production at "unprecedented speed" to meet operational demands, with RTX collaborating with hundreds of small and mid-sized suppliers nationwide.
- President Donald Trump is brokering multi-year deals with major contractors, discussing ways to involve General Motors and Ford in defense manufacturing to expand production capacity.
- While the agreement formalizes a framework signed in February, production cycles can take 18 to 24 months, ensuring warfighters maintain lethal firepower despite current operational demands.
