Raytheon received a $113 million contract to perform engineering and technical services for several Standard Missile variants used by the U.S. Navy. In addition to the Navy, the contract supports procurement for other government agencies and foreign military sales to undisclosed customers. It also covers engineering work for the Standard Missile 2, 3 and 6. Raytheon's tasks for the contract will include research and development efforts, component improvement, shipboard integration and evaluation services.

The missiles are integrated with the AEGIS Weapon System used on many of the Navy's destroyers, and launched using a Mark 41 vertical launcher system. The SM-6 is an extended-range variant of the missile, and is used to combat threats over-the-horizon. The missiles have been procured by 15 allied naval forces.
