RTX's Raytheon awarded U.S. Navy contract for Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band Expansion
Raytheon, an RTX business, has secured a $192 million contract from the U.S. Navy to develop the Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band Expansion (NGJ-MBX). This upgrade to the current NGJ-MB system will extend its frequency range to counter additional threats and improve operational effectiveness. The NGJ-MB, including MBX, is a cooperative program with the Royal Australian Air Force and is employed on the EA-18G GROWLER® to target advanced electronic warfare threats.
Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon, emphasized the importance of Offensive Electronic Attack in supporting strike packages and kinetic weapons across various missions. The contract work will be carried out in Dallas, Forest (Michigan), El Segundo (California), and Fort Wayne (Indiana) through 2027.

Insights
This
Key points to consider:
- The contract strengthens RTX's position in the naval electronic warfare market.
- Collaboration with the Royal Australian Air Force adds international value and potential for future exports.
- The timeline through 2027 suggests a steady revenue stream for this project.
- Enhanced capabilities could lead to additional contracts or upgrades for existing systems.
While the contract value is relatively modest compared to RTX's
This contract award is a positive development for RTX, albeit with a modest financial impact given the company's size. The
Financial considerations:
- Revenue recognition likely spread over the contract duration until 2027, providing steady but incremental top-line growth.
- Potential for follow-on contracts or international sales could amplify the long-term financial impact.
- Margins on defense contracts are typically stable, contributing to predictable profitability.
- Investment in R&D for this project may lead to spin-off technologies applicable to other product lines.
While not a game-changer for RTX's financials, this contract reinforces the company's strong position in defense electronics and contributes to a robust order backlog. Investors should view this as a positive indicator of RTX's competitive edge in high-tech defense systems.
Capability upgrade will counter new adversary threats
This modification will extend the frequency range of the NGJ-MB system to counter additional threats. MBX provides additional capabilities to improve operational effectiveness.
"Offensive Electronic Attack provides a tremendous combat capability supporting strike packages and kinetic weapons across a broad range of missions," said Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon. "With this upgrade, we'll ensure our naval aviators in all theaters are better prepared to counter new adversary threats and provide greater combat power throughout their missions."
NGJ-MB, to include MBX, is a cooperative development and production program with the Royal Australian Air Force. It is an airborne electronic attack system consisting of two pods containing active electronically scanned arrays that radiate in the mid-band frequency range.
