Lockheed Wins Navy Weapons Contract

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has won a $160 million follow-on contract from the U.S. Navy for technical and engineering support of its land-based test facility for the Aegis Ballistic Defense (BMD) Weapon System.

Called the “the Cruiser in the Cornfield” for its ship-like exterior appearance, the Navy’s Vice Admiral James H. Doyle Combat Systems Engineering Development Site (CSEDS) develops, integrates and delivers sophisticated computer software that allows the Aegis Weapon System to constantly evolve to meet the world’s emerging threats.  CSEDS incorporates highly-integrated, classified, real-time networks that connect numerous contractor and U.S. government facilities.

In addition to ongoing support for CSEDS, the new contract calls for Lockheed Martin to support, operate and maintain the Naval Systems Computing Center (NSCC) and the SPY-1A naval radar test suite located near CSEDS.  The NSCC and SPY-1A test suite provide critical capability for early computer program development and element testing, prior to system level integration and test at CSEDS
