Washington – September 24, 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.
SPY-6 modular architecture drives demand across the surface fleet
SPY-6 is the radar family the Navy is fielding for detection and tracking against air, surface, ballistic missile, and electronic warfare threats. Its modular design uses common building blocks -- including the RMA -- to serve destroyers, carriers, amphibious ships, and frigates, and Raytheon is scaling production to meet rising global demand.
Wedgelock production requires precision manufacturing and steady raw material access
Wedgelock assemblies secure electronic components inside the thermally managed SPY-6 array chassis and help transfer heat away from high-power electronics. Their production demands precision manufacturing, controlled assembly, and consistent access to specific raw materials -- constraints that have historically driven long lead times across the supplier base.
Lyntris builds vertically integrated capacity in California and Nevada
Most of the RMA chassis is already produced within Lyntris' manufacturing footprint in California and Nevada, where precision manufacturing, electronics packaging, and test capabilities operate under one roof for fielded radar and electronic warfare programs. The company says the same processes can be applied to other long-lead components across radar and sensing programs facing similar supply chain constraints.
