Missile Component Testing Dispute
The United States Department of the Army and Raytheon Company agreed to settle a dispute over testing on a component used in the Patriot Missile. The Army’s Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) alleged that Raytheon provided the Army’s Aviation and Missile Command with a component part – an internal thread ring – that did not meet all the contractual testing requirements for structural and mechanical properties of the component. The thread rings were manufactured from about 1999 through 2002. The government did not identify any performance or field failures connected to the thread rings in the Patriot Missile and claimed no deficiencies in the missile’s performance. As part of the settlement, Raytheon paid the government $212,915.
