The Defense Departmentsaid Tuesday Lockheed will develop one LCS and Austal USA will construct two ships under the fixed-price-incentive modifications awarded by Naval Sea Systems Command.
Work will primarily occur in Marinette, Wis. and Mobile, Ala., through September 2024.
œThe Navy may release a competitive solicitation(s) for additional LCS class ships in fiscal 2019, and therefore the specific contract award amount for this ship is considered source selection sensitive information, according to the DoD notice.
