Por lo que tengo ententido no se va a modernizar el radar SPY en si, es decir la antena, sino los procesadores de los equipos

Officials of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington announced a $65.3 million contract Thursday to the Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems segment in Moorestown, N.J., to build Aegis Multi-Mission Signal Processor (MMSP) equipment sets for Navy and allied warships.
The contract also asks Lockheed Martin to provide Aegis Combat System support equipment; electronic equipment fluid coolers and kill assessment system 5.1 equipment; and MK 6 Mod 0 equipment for Japan and Spain.

The Aegis surface warship MMSP provides AAW and BMD capability for cruiser and destroyer Aegis systems. MMSP modifies transmitters of the SPY-1D radar to enable dual-beam operation for reduced frame times and better reaction time, and provides stability for all D(V) waveforms.
Este contrato tenía fecha de finalización en noviembre de 2024. Aparentemente
parece cubrir hasta la F-104 (originalmente equipaban el Command & Decission BS5 y Aegis Display System 6).

El de ahora podría ser algo parecido, en línea con los contratos que se están viendo del programa AMOD (Aegis Modernization). Por ejemplo, este se podría aplicar a la F-105 (BS8.0): https://sam.gov/opp/de918953c6094dd6b315d988d70d6360/view
