Raytheon awarded $175 million contract

The Missile Defense Agency has awarded Raytheon Company a $175 million
development contract, the defense company said Monday.

Under the contract, Raytheon will work with partners in Japan on the cooperative
engineering and development efforts for the SM-3 Block IIA missile through the
preliminary design process. The contract also includes an option for future
studies totaling $9.8 million.

Raytheon and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, under contract to the MDA and Japan's
Ministry of Defense, are developing the next-generation SM-3 Block IIA missile,
scheduled to begin flight testing in 2014. The company says the new missile will
include larger second- and third-stage rocket motors and a larger kinetic
warhead to provide a greater area of defense against sophisticated threats.
