Raytheon has been awarded a contract for radars aboard two Navy ships.

Under the four-year Mobile Sensors indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, which is valued at up to $128 million, Raytheon will operate and maintain the Cobra King radar aboard the USNS Howard O. Lorenzen and the Gray Star radar aboard the USNS Invincible.

“The two shipboard radars are forward deployed supporting U.S. Pacific Command and U.S. Central Command,” according to a Raytheon news release. “Raytheon personnel deploy aboard the ships to operate and maintain the radars and their subsystems. Raytheon also provides engineering and logistics support.”
