The UN Navy has confirmed a major contract modification with Raytheon Missiles and Defence for the production of 350 Block V Tactical Tomahawk cruise missiles, taking the overall contract value to $785.2 million.
The award, published in a Pentagon notice, covers missiles and associated hardware for the US Navy, Army and Marine Corps, along with two Foreign Military Sales customers. It raises the total quantity procured under the contract to date from 131 to 350 and secures deliveries through to January 2029.
The contract lists Glenrothes at 2.9 percent of activity, continuing the site’s role in supporting missile electronics and guidance components. Raytheon’s Scottish presence has been a consistent contributor to UK and US precision weapons programmes, including Tomahawk, Paveway and the Spear family. The Block V upgrade introduces improved navigation, communications and survivability features, forming the baseline for future variants such as the Block Va Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST).
Funding for the latest order spans multiple services and fiscal years. US Navy procurement accounts for $47.7 million, the Army contributes more than $120 million across FY24 and FY25 missile accounts, and the Marine Corps allocates $82.3 million. Foreign customers are expected to finance nearly $500 million of the package.
