Raytheon Missile Systems has been awarded a contract modification by the Air Force for work on the Advance Medium Range Air to Air Missile, or AMRAAM, for several foreign militaries. The $62 million contract modification, awarded Friday by the Department of Defense, covers Phase 5 activities for drawings for the form, fit and function refresh of AMRAAM guidance sections under a foreign military sales agreement for Australia, Norway, Japan, Romania and Turkey. Currently, 37 countries have bought AMRAAM missiles, which are integrated into fighter jets such as the F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F-22, Harrier, Gripen, Tornado and Typhoon. The AIM-120 missile has experienced more than 4,200 test shots and 10 air-to-air combat victories, according to Raytheon. Raytheon offers the missiles in two types -- AIM-120C5 and AIM-120C7.

For the new contract, the Air Force has obligated $6.1 million in foreign military sales funds to Raytheon at the time of award. Work will be done in Tucson, Ariz., and is expected to be completed by Dec. 21, 2020.
