Tucson-based Raytheon Missile Systems will vie with rival Lockheed Martin to develop a new long-range, hypersonic anti-ship missile for the Navy.
David Wichner Tucson-based Raytheon Missiles & Defense and rival Lockheed Martin have been awarded Navy contracts for initial development of a new long-range, hypersonic anti-ship missile.
The Navy wants to field the HALO missile by 2029 to address advanced maritime threats and allow the Navy to operate in and control contested battle space. “As threat capability continues to advance, additional range, warfare capability and capacity is required to address the more demanding threat environment,” Capt. Richard Gensley, Precision Strike Weapons program manager at NAVAIR, said in prepared remarks.
Raytheon has been involved in several hypersonic weapon development programs, and in September the company and partner Northrop Grumman were awarded a contract worth nearly $1 billion to develop the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile for the Air Force.
