ONR Contracts Raytheon to Upgrade Naval Radar Systems
What happened
The Office of Naval Research contracted Raytheon to develop advanced target-detection capabilities for naval radar systems. Under the agreement, Raytheon will develop signal and data-processing algorithms and integrate software upgrades to extend detection range and improve radar efficiency. These enhancements are intended for transition into Raytheon’s SPY-6 family of radars and other future naval radars.

Why it matters
The contract provides Raytheon with significant, long-term government revenue. The enhancements will enable naval operators to detect smaller objects at greater distances and classify targets more quickly, supporting faster decision-making for the fleet.
The Office of Naval Research has previously developed new technology for the Marine Corps and U.S. Navy.
