Raytheon Company

Raytheon Company's Missile Defense Business Center Division, doing business as Raytheon Co, is a large, unrestricted defense prime contractor delivering missile defense radar systems, command and control software, systems engineering and integration, and lifecycle sustainment services to the Department of Defense as a systems integrator competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations. The division operates as a child entity of Raytheon Company (parent UEI KLW3ZYL15493), headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, and competes across research and development, manufacturing, and sustainment services under primary NAICS 336414 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC R402 (National Defense R&D Services). With 225 awards spanning sixteen federal agencies, Raytheon's Missile Defense Business Center represents a substantial prime footprint (84% of awards) balanced against recurring subcontractor roles to Boeing and Lockheed Martin on systems integration programs.

Customer concentration is extreme and mission-critical. The Missile Defense Agency funds 166 awards worth $26.77 billion in combined potential value—about 75% of the division's total $35.88 billion portfolio—reflecting Raytheon's role as primary systems integrator for the Ballistic Missile Defense System across multiple major radar platforms including the AN/TPY-2, SBX (Sea-Based X-Band Radar), and UEWR (Upper Tier Early Warning Radar). The Navy's US Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic Fleet) ranks second with 18 awards totaling $157.4 million, primarily focused on Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar (ROTHR) program management and engineering support. The Air Force follows with 12 awards worth $3.18 billion, anchored by the Taiwan Surveillance Radar Program sustainment contracts and the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center multi-domain systems development IDIQ. PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (formerly PEO IEW&S) holds a single $4.2 billion multiple-award IDIQ for Product Director Aerostats production and sustainment awarded March 2025, recently task-ordered at minimal value. The concentration differential between award count and dollars reveals that MDA anchors the portfolio in magnitude while Navy and Air Force task order activity sustains operational tempo.

Raytheon's parent-vehicle posture centers on five indefinite-delivery vehicles with combined potential value exceeding $7.8 billion and 109 active task orders. The Missile Defense System IDIQ (HQ0006-08-D-0003), a single-award Major Defense Acquisition Program vehicle awarded to Raytheon, carries 38 task orders worth $2.02 billion and serves as the primary contracting mechanism for AN/TPY-2, SBX, and BMDS operations-and-sustainment work. The Radar Test Contract (HQ0147-18D-0005), a cost-plus-award-fee IDIQ supporting MDA modeling and simulation, carries 26 task orders valued at $990.5 million. US Fleet Forces Command's Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar Engineering and Program Support contract (single-award IDIQ, $87.5 million ceiling, June 2023 award, August 2027 completion) funds 19 Navy delivery orders and serves as the primary sustainment vehicle for ROTHR operations in Chesapeake, Virginia and subordinate overseas sites. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Architecture and Integration Directorate multiple-award IDIQ ($900 million ceiling, November 2027 expiration) funds development of multi-domain systems capabilities across Air Force platforms, with task orders for ABAD Phase 1 systems development, open architecture standards management, and rapid prototyping. Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex's single-award GLOBUS Sustainment IDIQ ($134.2 million ceiling, May 2031) supports radar system repair and sustainment with three active task orders carrying combined ceilings of approximately $58.7 million through 2027.

Activity has grown sharply over the past two years—eight awards in 2022, twelve in 2023, thirty-four in 2024, and twenty-four in 2025—reflecting increased MDA investment in BMDS modernization and Navy demand for ROTHR sustainment. Nineteen awards with combined potential value $3.93 billion face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across Missile Defense Agency operations-and-sustainment contracts, Taiwan Surveillance Radar Program follow-on sustainment, and ROTHR engineering delivery orders. The division's recent award trajectory shows sustained momentum: a $548.9 million MDA task order (AN/TPY-2 program management and systems engineering, November 2024, October 2030 completion), a $425.6 million Air Force Taiwan Surveillance Radar Program follow-on support contract (January 2023, December 2027), a $110.6 million MDA modeling and simulation task order (January 2025, October 2027), and a $7.567 million Navy delivery order for ROTHR program management and engineering (July 2026, July 2027).

SCI-reportable federal service contract invoicing totaled $859.9 million across fiscal years 2022–2025, with FY2025 invoicing reaching $266.7 million across 218 FTEs, a significant increase from FY2023's $172.6 million across 194 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on Raytheon's self-performed labor run a median $347.20 per hour, with senior rates spanning through $513.92 per hour—a pricing posture consistent with highly technical systems engineering and program management labor in the BMDS domain. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Raytheon self-performs all reported labor with zero subcontractor hours share, reflecting the division's vertically integrated delivery model for core systems integration work. However, the broader prime award footprint incorporates selective subcontracting: recurring vendors include Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company and Dell Federal Systems L.P. for server and computer hardware across multiple MDA and Navy orders, Carahsoft Technology Corp for software licensing and enterprise platforms, Real-Time Innovations Inc. for network software and data distribution services, component manufacturers including Fei-Zyfer Inc. (GPS receivers), Golden Star Technology Inc. (women-owned small business, computer hardware), and cable-assembly vendors including TTM Technologies and Sanmina Corporation on the Taiwan Surveillance Radar program. The subcontractor base also includes a women-owned small business (FCN Inc., software solutions) and HUBZone-certified vendors (Anacapa Micro Products Inc., electrical equipment and subscriptions) on Navy Risk Management Framework delivery orders.

Raytheon's subcontractor posture reflects a feeder role to larger defense primes on systems integration programs. The division supplies systems engineering and integration services to The Boeing Company across at least eleven recent modifications (dating January–January 2026) and to Lockheed Martin Corporation across THAAD missile system sustainment, software build development, training devices, and KSA Phase II programs spanning 2022–2026. These sub awards are technical in nature—program management and worksite engineering and integration labor, software builds, training devices—and suggest that Raytheon's core radar and BMDS technical authority, originally developed under the division's prime systems integrator role, is now being leveraged by Boeing and Lockheed Martin as a specialty subcontractor for detailed engineering on complex defense platforms. The source carries no evidence that Raytheon competes for set-asides; all named prime awards and major IDIQs carry full-and-open designations with no set-aside restrictions.

The division's geographic footprint is distributed across Woburn (administrative and engineering hub for MDA BMDS programs), Chesapeake, Virginia (ROTHR operations and Navy delivery order performance), El Segundo, California (Air Force architecture and systems development), and subordinate performance locations at Clear Space Force Station and Fort Greely, Alaska, and allied overseas sites supporting radar system fielding and test infrastructure. Corporate context reflects Raytheon's legacy as the original developer of the AN/TPY-2 radar and SBX platform—technical data rights and sole-source sustainment authority underscore the division's deep integration into the BMDS acquisition strategy and its quasi-monopoly position on core radar development and operations work.
