 Tucson AZ (SPX) Mar 27, 2023
 The U.S. Air Force awarded Raytheon Technologies a $320 million contract to produce and deliver 1500 StormBreaker smart weapons, which are air-to-surface, network enabled weapons that can engage moving targets in all weather conditions using its multi-effects warhead and tri-mode seeker.

"Having StormBreaker in the warfighter's arsenal provides unprecedented capability against moving targets, regardless of conditions," said Paul Ferraro, president of Air Power at Raytheon Missiles and Defense. "It also expands our production line and reinforces our commitment of ensuring the warfighter has the next-level munitions they need to safely and successfully accomplish the mission."

StormBreaker is fielded on the F-15E Strike Eagle with testing underway on the F-35B and F/A-18; between the three platforms, StormBreaker has had hundreds of successful operational test shots to date.
