The U.S. Navy's Naval Air Systems Command has awarded Raytheon an $18.9 million firm-fixed-price contract to produce LAU-115D/A and LAU-116B/A missile launchers.
The launchers are used on Navy F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G aircraft. They provide the structural and electrical interfaces that allow the aircraft to carry and launch missiles such as the Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) and AIM-9X Sidewinder.
The launchers will be built at the Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC facility in Indianapolis, Ind. Work on this contract is expected to be completed in September 2012.
