Lyntris Completes Two-Year Wedgelock Qualification for Navy's SPY-6 Radar

Washington – September 25, 2026 -- Lyntris Inc. (NYSE: LYNX) has completed qualification of a wedgelock assembly critical to Raytheon's SPY-6 radar family, closing a supply chain gap identified during the U.S. Navy program's shift to full-rate production.

Two-year effort converts a long-lead bottleneck into an in-house capability

The qualification followed nearly two years of joint work between Lyntris and Raytheon, an RTX business, after a supply chain review flagged the wedgelock -- a sub-assembly within the Radar Modular Assembly (RMA) chassis -- as a risk to build-rate targets. Lyntris established manufacturing processes, validated performance, and secured qualification as a scalable production source meeting U.S. Navy requirements.
