Huntsville will help build missiles for key US allies as Raytheon lands $401 million contract
A share of the work on a new $401 million missile contract to arm both U.S. forces and allies will be done in Huntsville.
Raytheon Co. will produce 131 Tomahawk missiles under the fixed-price, undefinitized contract, according to the Defense Department. The order includes 26 of the long-range cruise missiles for the U.S. Army and 16 for the Marine Corps, along with 11 for Australia and 78 for Japan.
About $31.7 million of the contract, which is set to be completed in March 2028, was immediately obligated. That includes $21.5 million of foreign military sales funds.
