Raytheon Secures SeaRAM Contract for Australia's Frigate Program
Raytheon Technologies has been awarded a contract by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to supply the SeaRAM ship self-defense system for Australia's Sea 3000 general-purpose frigate program. This initiative involves the Royal Australian Navy's plan to acquire 11 Mogami class-derived warships from Mitsubishi. The contract includes the delivery of SeaRAM launchers, blast test vehicles, and technical services to support installation and testing on the first three ships, which are being constructed in Japan. The SeaRAM system is part of Australia's strategy to modernize its naval fleet, replacing the aging Anzac-class frigates with the new Improved Mogami class vessels. These ships will feature advanced weaponry, including the Naval Strike Missile, and are designed to enhance Australia's maritime defense capabilities.
