Raytheon defense manufacturing and supply chain expansion

Overview

Raytheon is expanding its manufacturing capacity and supply chain to support various international defense requirements. In Mississippi, the company completed a $50 million expansion of a facility in Forest to increase production of electronic warfare and radar systems, specifically targeting Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band pods for the U.S. Navy and the Australian government.

Further expansion efforts are focused on meeting European demand for air and missile defense. This includes multi-billion dollar contracts to supply Patriot system interceptors and radars to Ukraine, Poland, and the Netherlands. To facilitate these deliveries, production for Ukraine will involve a facility in Germany operated by the COMLOG joint venture. Additionally, Raytheon is working to mitigate production constraints for the U.S. Navy’s SPY-6 radar by qualifying new domestic sources for critical mechanical components.
