In the early 90s Raytheon was found liable for inflating the cost of missile test equipment, Patriot missiles, and a US$72m radar contract, to the US government. They were ordered by court to pay US$2.5, US$3.7m and US$4m respectively.

[T]he contract is seen as only the first step in what could become Raytheon's largest nondefense program by the end of the decade.
