Raytheon scores $50.6M contract for air traffic control systems

Raytheon Co. has won a $50.6 million contract to provide the U.S. Air Force with 19 D-RAPCON air traffic control systems.

The D-RAPCON system is a deployable air traffic control surveillance system that provides a supportable, adaptable, persistent, expeditionary terminal approach and enroute surveillance and control capability for joint, coalition and civil aircraft worldwide, the Defense Department said in a release.

Work under the fixed-price-incentive, firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement contract will be performed in Massachusetts, and is expected to be completed in December 2016.

Funds in the amount of $24.5 million will be obligated at the time of the award.

Raytheon beat out one other bidder on this contract, the Defense Department said.
