Lockheed Martin has received three contracts worth $3.1 billion combined from the Missile Defense Agency and U.S. Navy to provide continued support for the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense weapon system.
Aegis BMD Combat Systems Engineering Agent Award
The Department of Defense said Tuesday Lockheed’s rotary and mission systems business will continue to serve as the Combat Systems Engineering Agent, or CSEA, for the Aegis BMD system to maintain operational relevancy of the missile defense system under a potential 10-year, $2.97 billion follow-on contract with MDA.
The sole-source, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract covers design, development, integration and sustainment support for Aegis cruisers, guided-missile destroyers, Aegis ashore variants, Aegis Guam System and Glide Phase Intercept.
The company will also execute future studies and provide computer program development support to achieve capability improvements across all phases of the fire control loop in compliance with government-provided interface requirements.
Contract work will occur in Moorestown, New Jersey, through June 2035.
To execute the proposed work scope, MDA will obligate research, development, test and evaluation; defensewide procurement; and operations and maintenance funds.
Aegis BMD Weapon Systems CSEA Contract Extension
MDA awarded Lockheed a $41.2 million contract modification to continue CSEA work on the Aegis BMD weapon system.
The sole-source contract modification will extend current contract line-item numbers and cover design and development support for Aegis cruisers, destroyers and Aegis Ashore variants.
Lockheed will perform work in New Jersey through June 2026.
The MDA contract action increases the Aegis BMD CSEA program’s ceiling value to $1.46 billion, up from $1.42 billion.
Navy Contract Modification for In-Service Aegis Sustainment
Lockheed secured a $92.2 million contract modification from the U.S. Navy for in-service Aegis sustainment, capability package development and fielding support.
The cost-plus-incentive-fee modification also includes BL10 system integration, fielding and product documentation support for the Aegis combat system’s current configurations.
Work will occur through December 2025.
Naval Sea Systems Command will finance the contract action using research, development, test and evaluation funds for fiscal years 2024 and 2024 and other procurement funds for FY 2025.
Aegis BMD is designed to intercept ballistic missiles in mid-course phase. It is composed of sensors, interceptors and command and control systems.
