Raytheon Company of Tucson, Arizona, has received a contract valued at up to $760 million to continue work on the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), the U.S. Department of Defense/War announced.
The cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity agreement is intended to mitigate obsolescence issues while covering production, sustainment, and development of the missile system. According to the Pentagon, work will take place in Tucson and is scheduled to run through 7 September 2030.
The award involves extensive Foreign Military Sales, with customers including Canada, Taiwan, Sweden, Czech Republic, South Korea, Kuwait, Japan, Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Norway, Belgium, Australia, Turkey, Spain, and Lithuania.
Funding at the time of award totals $1.55 million. This includes $1,058,951 in Fiscal Year 2025 Air Force missile procurement funds, $144,402 in Navy weapons procurement funds, and $346,685 in FMS funding.
The Department of Defense noted that the award was the result of a sole-source acquisition, with one solicitation issued and one offer received. The Weapons Superiority Contracting Branch at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, is managing the contract under reference FA8556-25-D-B001.
AMRAAM remains one of the most widely used beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles in service, with integration across a wide range of U.S. and allied aircraft. The Pentagon highlighted that this latest award ensures continued sustainment and development of the missile to maintain interoperability and effectiveness across allied air forces.
