The U.S. Navy has issued a series of major high-value contract awards to strengthen fleet capabilities, highlighted by a $511.5 million modification to Raytheon for the production and hardware spares of the AN/SPY-6(V) radar family. This critical radar technology serves as the technological backbone for modern surface combatants, ensuring advanced air and missile defense integration across the fleet through late 2031.

Additionally, BAE Systems Land & Armaments secured a $230.1 million firm-fixed-price modification to manufacture 32 full-rate production Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) recovery mission variants for the U.S. Marine Corps. This award reinforces ongoing modernization efforts to replace aging armored vehicle fleets with highly capable, amphibious-ready platforms.

Other notable awards in this defense funding tranche include a $232.8 million combined ceiling for multi-disciplinary naval engineering and business management support, alongside specialized weapon mount and tactical system procurements. These contracts underscore sustained global investment in maritime superiority, radar modernization, and amphibious warfare readiness.
