Raytheon says investment of over $800 million supports doubling SPY-6 radar output by 2028

Raytheon plans to double SPY-6 naval radar output by 2028 following more than $800 million of investment in manufacturing capacity at Andover, Massachusetts. The expansion supports production, assembly and testing of a radar family already in full-rate production and expected to equip more than 50 U.S. Navy ships over the next decade. Common Radar Modular Assemblies allow different configurations for new ships and retrofits, while software upgrades support evolving air, missile and electronic threats. Operational testing includes live-fire events aboard USS Jack H. Lucas, with Raytheon targeting completion of 60 firings in 2027.
