Voyager Space secures Raytheon contract for SM-3 missile propulsion and DACS supply
A Raytheon (RTX) contract award to Voyager Space covers throttleable propulsion systems and Divert and Attitude Control Systems for the SM-3 missile family, placing the private company inside Raytheon's SM-3 supply chain as a dedicated hardware provider. The deal names Voyager Space as the source for both system types. A government contract award notice or RTX quarterly disclosure is the next point where dollar terms could enter the public record.
Key takeaways
- Raytheon (RTX) has awarded Voyager Space a contract to supply throttleable propulsion systems and Divert and Attitude Control Systems (DACS) for the SM-3 missile family.
- The award places Voyager Space inside Raytheon's SM-3 supply chain as a dedicated hardware provider for both system types.
- No dollar value is attached to the announcement, and specific SM-3 variants covered are not identified in the available disclosure.
- It is not resolved whether the arrangement covers a development phase or ongoing production.
- A formal government contract award notice or an RTX quarterly disclosure is the next point where dollar terms could enter the public record.

What the contract covers
Two hardware categories define the scope. Throttleable propulsion systems regulate thrust output during flight, with the throttleable function allowing power to be adjusted rather than held to a fixed burn level. Divert and Attitude Control Systems, abbreviated DACS, manage a missile's directional movement and angular orientation through its flight path.
Raytheon, the contracting party trading under RTX, will receive both system types from Voyager Space for use in the SM-3 missile family. The SM-3 designation covers a family of missiles; the specific variants or configurations addressed by this supply agreement are not identified in the available disclosure.
Setup for RTX
The contract adds Voyager Space to Raytheon's SM-3 supplier base. No dollar value attaches to the announcement. Whether the arrangement covers a development phase or ongoing production would determine how the Voyager Space relationship factors into Raytheon's SM-3 program costs on a repeating basis. That distinction is not resolved in the available disclosure.
What to watch
A formal government contract award notice or RTX quarterly reference that attaches a dollar figure to this agreement is the next confirmable data point. A follow-on production order from Raytheon to Voyager Space would confirm the supply relationship extends beyond this initial contract.
