The cost-plus-incentive-fee and cost-plus-fixed-fee contract modification entails the design of the integrated, modernized missile, called the Trident II D5 Life Extension 2, which will be carried by Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines.
The award follows a $2.1 billion contract modification Lockheed received in September 2024 to produce and provide deployed systems support for the Trident II D5 missile and Warhead 93/Mark7 development.
Under the latest sole source award, work will be performed in Denver, Colorado; Cape Canaveral and Titusville, Florida; Magna, Utah and other locations, and is scheduled for completion in Sept. 30, 2030.
“The second life extension of the Trident D5 missile will enable the United States and United Kingdom, through the Polaris Sales Agreement, to maintain credibility deterring evolving threats,” said Jerry Mamrol, vice president of fleet ballistic missiles at Lockheed.
The D5LE2 missile is being developed as part of Lockheed Martin’s Fleet Ballistic Missiles program and will remain credible to continue U.S. sea-based strategic deterrence through 2084.
New Production Facility in Florida
Lockheed is building a 225,000-square-foot facility in Titusville, Florida, which will be one of the sites to manufacture D5LE2 missile components.
Scheduled to begin operations in 2027, the facility is projected to employ about 300 highly-skilled workers and will support the Navy’s production needs for the next 60 years.
