The Air Force has awarded Raytheon $355 million to modify AGM-88B missiles for sales to Qatar, Taiwan and Bahrain.

The Pentagon announced a firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with Raytheon on Thursday. Funding supports replacement for the High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles Control Section Modification, refurbishment of live HARMs and conversion into Captive Air Training Missiles.

The HCSM upgrades the anti-radar missiles with a GPS receiver and an enhanced inertial measurement unit for more precise navigation.

According to the announcement, $76 million in fiscal year 2019 foreign military sale funding is being obligated at the time of award, and additional countries may be added later.
