$72M Navy Contract Awarded for Work on Missile Navigation Subsystem

By Jake Meister | December 16, 2015

Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training has been awarded a $72.4 million Navy contract for Trident II navigation subsystem engineering support services benefitting the United States and United Kingdom, the U.S. Department of Defense announced Wednesday.

If options are exercised, the cost-plus-incentive-fee, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract could be worth up to $147.3 million.

The work involved includes, among other things, strategic weapon training system and training system development for the Ohio-class SSBN-R submarine fleet support, trainer systems and fleet support for the U.S. and U.K., and software modernization.

Nearly all of the labor, 97 percent, will be performed in Mitchell Field, N.Y., with other work taking place in Florida and Virginia. Excluded the exercising of the involved options, the work should be finished on Sept. 30, 2017. If the options are exercised, the work would be expected to continue for one additional year. More than $70 million of the contract funds will expire at the end of the 2016 fiscal year.

Boeing is being awarded a $55.5 million Air Force contract for nearly 2,200 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) tail kits. (The JDAM is used to transform unguided bombs into smart munitions.) The JDAM strap-on inertial guidance kits delivered by Boeing will be built to receive guidance updates from a GPS, which increases the accuracy of the bombs.

The labor under the undefinitized, foreign military sales contract will be performed in St. Louis, and should be finished by Dec. 15, 2017.

Raytheon has been given a $35.8 million modification to an Army contract for software support benefitting the Qatar’s Patriot missile defense program. The labor will be conducted throughout the U.S., and should be finished on Sept. 30, 2020.

BAE Systems will be given a $10.1 million modification to a Navy contract for engineering and technical work benefitting the MK 41 vertical launch system (VLS) for a number of Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers. The work provided by BAE includes design and system engineering support, integration support, and the delivery of ancillary material, such as carbon fiber and resin.

The labor will be conducted throughout the U.S., mostly in Minneapolis, and should be finished by September 2016. None of the funds being awarded with the contract will expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year.

BAE Systems was also awarded a $14.6 million modification to an Army contract for technical support for Bradley Fighting Vehicles. The labor will be conducted in Santa Clara, Calif., and should be finished on July 9, 2020.
