Lockheed said Monday the funds add to the $79 million advanced procurement budget that Congress granted in March for the Freedom-variant LCS 23.
The company’s partners in the team are Fincantieri Marinette Marine and Gibbs & Cox.
Joe North, vice president of littoral ships and systems at Lockheed’s mission systems and training, noted they have already delivered three Freedom-variant LCS vessels to the Navy.
The service branch commissioned USS Milwaukee (LCS 5) into active service last month.
