Fact check: What is the value of Raytheon's current contracts with the Israeli government?

1. What claim did the question imply and what do the supplied analyses actually say?

The original query asks for the value of Raytheon’s current contracts with the Israeli government, implying Raytheon has such contracts of measurable value. The supplied analyses consistently contradict that implication: none of the three sets of excerpts reports any Raytheon–Israeli government contract. Instead, the sources highlight an Israeli Ministry of Defense award to Elbit Systems worth roughly $40 million and multiple U.S. Department of Defense awards to Raytheon for U.S. programs, such as a $5.04 billion Coyote missile contract ^{[1] [2]}. This means the available material does not support the claim that Raytheon currently has Israeli government contracts.

2. Where the supplied documents point: Israeli MOD deals versus U.S. DoD deals

The documents supplied clearly separate two different threads: Israeli procurement activity and U.S. Department of Defense contracting. The Israeli thread documents an Elbit Systems contract for ISR drones and autonomous systems, around $40 million ^[1]. The Raytheon references relate to U.S. military awards—full-rate production of the MRIC system and a $5.04 billion Coyote missile award—both explicitly tied to U.S. services, not Israel ^{[3] [2]}. The supplied dataset therefore frames Raytheon activity in a U.S. contracting context, not as Israeli government contracts.

3. Dates and currency of the evidence: what’s recent and what matters

All relevant items in the provided analyses are dated in late 2025: the Elbit mention is dated 2025-09-18, the Raytheon MRIC coverage is 2025-09-25, and the Coyote award is 2025-09-29, with a DoD contract search page noted 2025-10-26 ^{[1] [3] [2] [4]}. These dates show the dataset is recent and contemporaneous, and yet none show a Raytheon–Israeli government contract during this window. The recency strengthens the conclusion that, within the supplied documents’ timeframe, no such contract is documented.

4. Contradictions, gaps, and what the sources omit that matters

The most important omission across the provided materials is any direct reference to Raytheon signing or holding contracts with the Israeli government. While the materials document significant U.S. contracts to Raytheon and an Israeli award to Elbit, they do not record procurement channels, offset agreements, or subcontracts that might indirectly involve Raytheon in Israeli projects. The absence of Raytheon–Israel entries in a DoD contracts listing and the explicit identification of the Israeli award to Elbit constitute a substantive gap if the question demands an outright value assessment of Raytheon’s Israeli contracts ^{[4] [1]}.

5. Alternative explanations and plausible supply-chain links the data allow

Given the dataset, plausible alternatives are: Raytheon has no current direct contracts with Israel in this period; Raytheon could be involved as a subcontractor or supplier to Israeli prime contractors like Elbit (not recorded here); or relevant Raytheon–Israel contracts exist but are not included in these supplied documents. The materials permit noting large Raytheon awards to U.S. forces that could later enable equipment transfers or FMS (Foreign Military Sales) pathways—avenues that are not documented in the provided analyses ^{[3] [2]}.

6. Bottom line and recommended next steps to resolve remaining uncertainty

Based solely on the supplied analyses, there is no documented value for Raytheon contracts with the Israeli government; the only Israeli procurement monetary figure in the materials is about $40 million to Elbit Systems, while Raytheon awards referenced are for U.S. contracts totaling hundreds of millions to billions ^{[1] [3] [2]}. To resolve this definitively, consult primary procurement records from the Israeli Ministry of Defense, public Foreign Military Sales disclosures, and Raytheon corporate contract filings or DoD subcontract listings—documents not present in the provided dataset but necessary to find any direct Raytheon–Israel contract values.
