Pentagon Awards $20.7B Multiyear Contract for AMRAAM Missiles to RTX

The Pentagon has awarded a $20.7 billion multiyear contract to RTX to nearly double production of AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, a major investment in a core combat capability.

In a related development, the Navy’s Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Northwest awarded a separate $9 billion multiple-award construction contract on Sept. 30, 2026, the largest single procurement action in that command’s history. That contract, which covers a one-year base period, two two-year options, and one three-year option period, spans up to 96 months through September 2034 and will support military installation revitalization across Washington State.
