Raytheon Company was awarded a $92,069,954 cost-plus-incentive-fee contract on Friday by the U.S. Navy for the development of the Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR).
Raytheon’s EASR consists of two configuration variants – a rotating phased array configuration and a three-face fixed-phased array configuration. Raytheon is charged with building, testing and integrating an EASR engineering development model (EDM). The base contract covers design work and preliminary design review and ends with system acceptance of the EDM at the end of testing. If all contract options are exercised, the cumulative value of the contract would be $723,063,945.
FY2016 research, development, testing and evaluation funding valued at $11 million will be obligated at the time of award and will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
Work will be spread out over a variety of areas, the majority of which will take place in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Additional work will take place in Fairfax, Virginia; Andover, Massachusetts; Stafford Springs, Connecticut; East Syracuse, New York; High Ridge, Missouri; Flemington, New Jersey; Indianapolis, Indiana; Lawrenceville, Georgia; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; and Big Lake, Minnesota.
Work on the project is expected to conclude in Feb. 2020.
