Raytheon Wins $106 Million $106 Million Navy Contract
JSOW is a line of air-to-ground weapons that employs an integrated GPS and inertial navigation system that guides the weapon to the target. The JSOW C-1 model adds moving maritime target capability and a two-way data link to the combat-proven JSOW.
The contract includes funding for fixed-price production of more than 350 weapons, container cables and test units. The award also includes $17.2 million to transition the factory from producing the JSOW C to the JSOW C-1. Production will begin in October, and all-up round delivery to the U.S. Navy and select coalition partners is expected to begin in March 2010.
