Mitsubishi Electric, Raytheon partner on SPY-6 radar for US Navy

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has engaged with Raytheon, an RTX business, to supply components of the SPY-6(V) radar for U.S. Navy vessels.

This contract with Raytheon will enable Mitsubishi Electric to begin preparations for producing SPY-6(V) components to be supplied to the U.S. Navy.

Furthermore, the company will participate in the U.S. Navy’s defense-equipment supply chain business in the future.

Mitsubishi Electric has developed a variety of successful business partnerships with Raytheon.

The company will contribute to strengthening its partnership with Raytheon and increasing its presence in the U.S. defense equipment supply chain. 

“Through its supply and maintenance of defense equipment, Mitsubishi Electric is committed to strengthening Japan-U.S. security cooperation based on the Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology set out by the Japanese government in 2014,” the firm stated.

In June this year, Raytheon was awarded a $677 million contract to continue to produce AN/SPY-6(V) radars for the U.S. Navy.
