The Pentagon awarded RTX's Raytheon a significant contract to accelerate the production of AMRAAM missiles. This comes amid concerns over existing stockpiles.
The Pentagon has awarded RTX's Raytheon a contract valued at $20.7 billion to accelerate the production of Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM). This five-year agreement, with potential for two additional years, aims to bolster the United States' missile stockpiles.
The substantial contract comes amid concerns about existing missile inventories, particularly relevant for air combat and integrated air defense systems. The AMRAAM's role in modern air forces underscores the strategic importance of maintaining a robust supply of such munitions.
