Raytheon receives order for 120 SharpSight radars from Blue Raven
Raytheon, a business unit of RTX (NYSE: RTX), has received a contract from Blue Raven to produce 120 SharpSight radars, according to a company statement. The order represents the largest single contract for the surveillance radar system to date.
Under the agreement, Raytheon will manufacture and maintain the radar systems while Blue Raven handles global distribution and resale. Blue Raven was previously known as Crestwood Technology Group.
SharpSight is designed as a multi-domain surveillance radar system that can operate on both manned and unmanned platforms. The system supports missions including anti-surface warfare, border protection, coastal monitoring, search and rescue, and long-range surveillance.
"This contract is a clear signal of strong global demand for SharpSight and the advanced surveillance capabilities it brings to the fight," said Dan Theisen, president of Advanced Products and Solutions at Raytheon.
To meet anticipated demand, Raytheon plans to increase production capacity and build radar systems in bulk to enable higher monthly output and reduce delivery timelines.
"We're excited to partner with Raytheon on SharpSight, to grow its market across a broader range of platforms, fleets and mission profiles," said Paul Elefonte, Chief Growth Officer at Blue Raven.
RTX reported 2025 sales of more than $88 billion and employs more than 180,000 people globally. The company is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
