The Department of Defense announced Friday that Raytheon has been awarded a $1 billion foreign military sales contract to provide an early warning radar system for Qatar. The contract is a result of a sole-source acquisition and will be managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Hanscom AFB, Mass. The work will be performed at Woburn, Mass., and is expected to be completed by June 30, 2021.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
