华盛顿,9月28日——五角大楼向RTX旗下的雷神公司授予了一份为期多年的临时合同,价值207亿美元,旨在加速AMRAAM导弹的生产。此举是为了补充因中东和乌克兰冲突而减少的武器库存。
WASHINGTON, Sept 28 - The Pentagon awarded RTX's Raytheon business a provisional multiyear contract worth $20.7 billion to accelerate production of AMRAAM missiles, as the military pushes to replenish stockpiles depleted by conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine.
美国向盟友提供了大量武器,同时也在自身对伊朗的军事行动中使用了这些弹药,这引发了人们对关键防空和精确制导武器库存的担忧。
The US has supplied large quantities of weapons to allies while also using munitions in its own military operations in Iran, raising concerns about inventories of key air defense and precision-guided weapons.
AMRAAM导弹用于空对空战斗,同时也被纳入国家先进地对空导弹系统(NASAMS)中,该系统用于保护华盛顿地区,并被包括乌克兰、阿曼和卡塔尔在内的十几个国家使用。
The AMRAAM is used in air-to-air jet fighter combat as well as in the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS), which is used to defend the Washington area and is used by more than a dozen other countries, including Ukraine, Oman and Qatar.
此次AMRAAM导弹合同的签订,是五角大楼今年推动承包商加快生产速度的一系列大型武器合同中的最新一例。
The prospective AMRAAM deal is the latest in a series of large munitions contracts the Pentagon has pursued this year to pressure contractors into ramping output up faster. The award follows a similar pattern to a $58.6 billion Patriot interceptor deal awarded to Lockheed Martin in July, a seven-year procurement plan running through fiscal 2032.
与7月份授予洛克希德·马丁公司586亿美元爱国者拦截器合同类似,这份合同也是一项为期七年的采购计划,持续到2032财年。

行业高管警告称,国会尚未拨款支持这一多年承诺,这意味着在立法者采取行动之前,承包商可能无法大规模投资于零部件和设施。
As with that contract, industry executives have cautioned that Congress has not yet appropriated the funding needed to support the full multiyear commitment, meaning contractors may be unable to invest at scale in components and facilities until lawmakers act.
这些生产协议旨在激励承包商加快生产速度,这是特朗普政府优先考虑武器生产而非股东回报的更广泛举措的一部分。
The production agreements are designed to entice contractors to move faster on increasing output, part of a broader push by the Trump administration to prioritize weapons production over shareholder returns.
如果国会最终拨款,该合同将使RTX能够继续投资于其劳动力、供应链和设施,以满足美国不断增长的需求。
The contract, if Congress ultimately appropriates the funds, would let RTX continue to invest in its workforce, supply chain and facilities as US demand surges.
该公司表示,2025年的AMRAAM导弹产量几乎比前一年翻了一番。这笔合同将是五角大楼‘自由军火库’计划的一部分。
The company said it nearly doubled AMRAAM production in 2025, compared with the prior year.
RTX今年早些时候表示,其目标是将AMRAAM导弹的年产量至少提高到1900枚。
The deal would be part of the Pentagon's "Arsenal of Freedom" initiative. RTX said earlier this year it would set an annual production goal of at least 1,900 AMRAAM missiles.
