Raytheon received a $77.4 million foreign military sales contract to produce more than 250 AGM-65D and AGM-65G2 infrared-guided Maverick air-to-surface missiles for Korea and Taiwan.

AGM-65 rose to prominence during Desert Storm, when many of TV's missile-eye views of air strikes came from Mavericks. The missile is produced in 3 versions: TV-guided, imaging infared (IIR) guided, and laser-guided. "Raytheon Restarts Production of Laser Maverick Missiles" has more on the laser-guided variety.
