The space business of Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) will produce submarine-launched fleet ballistic missiles and support deployed systems for both the U.S. and U.K. navies under a potential $1.2 billion contract modification.

The system is currently aboard submarines in the U.S. Ohio and British Vanguard classes.
