But turns out they\u2019re also going to put them on all the future frigates,\u201d Kennedy said.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe think we\u2019re in a very good position there,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe have a system that requires minimum development. Some small changes we\u2019ll make, but we can go into production very quickly, which is something the United States Navy needs. We are anticipating an award here in Q2 with significant more funds placed against it in the fiscal year 2019 budget to move forward with that program.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/breaking-news\/2017\/07\/10\/frigate-competition-wide-open-navy-specs-reveal-major-design-shift\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635684249329326951-lcs08-140805-01hjpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Frigate competition wide open: Navy specs reveal major design shift<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Labeling the ship the FFG(X), the ship will be expected to keep up with the full carrier strike group and operate independently in high-end threat environments. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bidding for the over-the-horizon missile has been fraught with hurdles, with two major competitors dropping from the process leaving Raytheon and Kongsberg\u2019s Naval Strike Missile as the team to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boeing\u2019s Harpoon missile and Lockheed Martin\u2019s Long-range Anti-Surface Missile both were pulled from the competition. The companies felt the competition was skewed towards the Raytheon\/Kongsberg offering, Defense News reported in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Naval Strike Missile has a range of more than 100 nautical miles and has target-recognition capabilities that in some cases limit the need for another ship or aircraft to hold a track on the target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>FFG(X)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the Navy is indeed planning to add the over-the-horizon missile to the FFG(X), it gives some insight into how the ship\u2019s concept is coming together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Naval Strike Missile is launched from canisters on deck similar to the Navy\u2019s current anti-surface weapon, the Harpoon missile. That frees up the planned vertical launch cells for other missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next summer will see a major milestone in the Navy\u2019s new frigate competition as the Navy looks to accept proposals due in June 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy awarded $15 million contracts to Huntington Ingalls, Lockheed Martin, Austal USA, General Dynamics Bath Iron Works, and Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri to gin up<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2017\/07\/11\/exclusive-interview-the-navy-s-surface-warfare-director-talks-frigate-requirements\/\"> mature designs<\/a> before the Navy drops down to a single detailed design and construction contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the contracts contain options that could grow the value to between $22 million and $23 million, according to the contract announcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Austal and Lockheed Martin are competing amped up versions of their littoral combat ships. Huntington Ingalls is likely offering a version of the Coast Guard\u2019s National Security Cutter. Fincantieri is offering its FREMM design. General Dynamics is offering a patrnership with Spanish shipbuilding Navantia, for its F100 frigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/naval\/2017\/07\/28\/experts-question-the-navys-ideas-for-a-new-frigate\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Coronado.JPG_b6d80e.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Experts question the US Navy\u2019s ideas for a new frigate<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Analysts question whether the Navy actually knows what it wants from its littoral combat ship replacement.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Navy is looking to add its new over-the-horizon missile to its FFG(X), Raytheon&#8217;s top executive said last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":29238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":16,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[160,12,16,36],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3361],"class_list":["post-24116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-industry","category-naval","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"TEKF4R7DHFCHVBTDRQ2YDPKIDE","arc_canonical_url":"\/naval\/2018\/05\/01\/us-navy-wants-future-ship-killing-missile-for-its-new-frigate-raytheon\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US Navy wants future ship-killing missile for its new frigate, Raytheon says - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Navy is looking to add its new over-the-horizon missile to its FFG(X), Raytheon&#039;s top executive said last week.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US Navy wants future ship-killing missile for its new frigate, Raytheon says\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Navy is looking to add its new over-the-horizon missile to its FFG(X), Raytheon&#039;s top executive said last week.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/naval\/2018\/05\/01\/us-navy-wants-future-ship-killing-missile-for-its-new-frigate-raytheon\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-05-01T19:07:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T22:04:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"David B.
