RTX (NYSE: RTX) will continue manufacturing and supplying terrain-following/terrain-avoidance radars and spare components under a five-year, $321.27 million contract from Special Operations Command.
Work on Silent Knight Radar systems will be conducted in McKinney, Texas; and Forest, Mississippi, through Dec. 31, 2028, the Department of Defense said Monday.
SOCOM will use $27.5 million in Foreign Military Sales funding for the sole-source award.
In December 2020, the then Raytheon Technologies company was awarded a multiyear, $235.6 million contract for Silent Knight radar production and delivery.
The multimode radar technology is developed to lessen the probability of military aircraft being detected by adversarial forces. It works to mask terrain for aircraft and crew protection.
