The Raytheon-Rafael Protection Systems joint venture was awarded a $1.25B contract to supply Israel with Tamir surface-to-air missiles. Raytheon is an RTX (RTX) business. The direct commercial sales contract includes missiles, missile kits and test equipment. The companies used a $33M capital investment to establish the new facility, which opened earlier this month in East Camden, Arkansas. The facility was established to support the Israel Missile Defense Organization’s operating within the Israeli MOD’s Directorate of Defense Research and Development initiative to accelerate serial production of Iron Dome interceptors. The new site will produce the Tamir missiles for the Iron Dome Weapon System and its U.S. variant, SkyHunter for the Marine Corps’ Medium-Range Intercept Capability program.
