TEWKSBURY, Mass., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has contracted Raytheon to provide its Ship Self-Defense System along with upgrade management and engineering services.
Under the $23 million contract, U.S. company Raytheon will become the Ship Self-Defense System's platform systems engineering agent. As part of the deal, Raytheon will support upgrades for the Ship Self-Defense System on various Navy ships and also the integration of the system into the new Tarawa-class and Whidbey Island-class ships, among others.
