Raytheon is currently finalising the production of NGJ-MB lot 5 while working with the US Navy on contract requirements over multiple years.

The US Navy (USN) Next-Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) programme is close to reaching full-rate production (FRP) after the service declared its initial operating capability (IOC) in December 2024.

An official spokesperson for RTX Raytheon (NGJ-MB supplier) told Shephard that the company was currently working with the USN to “finalise the NGJ-MB lot 5 production contract”.
