Contract work will be performed at Lockheed Martinâs Maritime Systems and Sensors unit in Moorestown, N.J.; Northropâs Electronic Systems unit in Linthicum, Md.; and Raytheonâs Integrated Defense Systems in Sudbury, Mass.
The work involves the Air and Missile Defense Radar System, which contains an S-band system, an X-band system and a control system. The companies are being asked to provide concept studies for the S-band and control systems.
Based on their concept studies, the Navy likely will choose one of the three companies to build the system, said Kenneth Ross, a spokesman for Lockheed Martin MS2.
