# Missile Defense Agency Extends Raytheon Radar Contract

In October 2026, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded Raytheon a noncompetitive, two-year extension to maintain AN/TPY-2 radar systems through 2028. The extension is valued at up to $394 million, with $112.3 million reported as already obligated. This is a million-dollar-scale incumbent award—not the nearly $400 billion deal alleged in one post. The award followed Raytheon’s 2024 resolution of federal fraud allegations involving earlier contracts; the Navy determined the company remained eligible for federal work, and MDA cited a critical mission requirement.

- The extension provides no new open solicitation for this work, reinforcing Raytheon’s incumbent position for radar maintenance during the extension period.
- For competitors, the award highlights the role of mission urgency, incumbent capability, and agency contractor-responsibility determinations in noncompetitive procurements.
- Companies pursuing related radar-support work can use the award as a signal to assess their relevant technical capabilities and contractor-responsibility records, and to identify future requirements beyond the extension.
