HOHENFELS, Germany, April 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) won a contract valued at up to $159 million to support large-scale, live training exercises at the U.S. Army's Joint Multinational Readiness Center located in Hohenfels, Germany, and virtually connected to forces across Europe.
