RTX subsidiary wins $213.39M Navy contract modification

The U.S. Navy has awarded Raytheon, a subsidiary of Arlington County-based Fortune 500 aerospace and defense contractor RTX, a $213.39 million contract modification to continue work on the Navy’s Zumwalt-class destroyers.

According to RTX, the Zumwalt-class destroyer is a highly automated, all-electric warship in which a single encrypted network controls all shipboard computing applications, from lighting and machinery to radars and weapon systems. The design reduces crew size and supports advanced sensors and long-range strike capabilities.

The Department of Defense‘s Monday notice said that Raytheon’s work will include combat system installation, integration, development, testing, correction, maintenance and modernization of Zumwalt-class mission systems and equipment.

Work will be performed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, California and Indiana, and is expected to be completed by April 2027. Naval Sea Systems Command, based in Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity.

The initial contract, valued at $482.7 million, was awarded in 2022 and included options that could bring the total value to $1.68 billion.

RTX employs more than 185,000 people worldwide and reported $88.6 billion in sales in 2025, up 10% from 2024. The company is the second-highest-ranked Virginia-based company on the 2025 Fortune 500.
