About this program
The AGM-88E Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The program develops and produces medium-range air-to-ground missiles designed to engage relocatable integrated air defense targets and other shutdown-capable threats. This Category IC acquisition program represents a significant advancement in anti-radiation missile capabilities for the U.S. military and allied forces.
The contract awards associated with this program primarily consist of firm-fixed-price definitive contracts and delivery orders for missile production, repairs, and engineering services, ranging from small repair orders of less than $100,000 to major production contracts exceeding $350 million with durations spanning 2-4 years. Primary contractors include Alliant Techsystems Operations LLC (a Northrop Grumman subsidiary) and Raytheon Company, with key subcontractors such as Clearplan LLC, Honeywell International, and CAES Systems Holdings providing specialized components and services. The majority of contracts are awarded by NAVAIR and the Defense Contract Management Agency, with work primarily performed in Tucson, Arizona. Notable deliverables include All-Up-Round (AUR) missiles, Captive Air Training Missiles (CATMs), guidance section repairs, control section repairs, and software upgrades. The program generally does not utilize set-aside designations, indicating full and open competition for most requirements.
