Lockheed Unit Lands $226M IDIQ to Continue Air Force Targeting Pod Sustainment Work

A Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) business has received a seven-year, $225.8 million contract to help the U.S. Air Force maintain an electro-optical targeting system used by military aircraft.

The Sniper Comprehensive Advanced Targeting Pod sustainment program covers support services to manage system availability and reliability between maintenance periods, the Department of Defense said Tuesday.

Lockheed’s missiles and fire control segment will engineer, integrate, configure and test the system as part of the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.

The Sniper is designed with sensors that work to help airmen detect air-to-air and air-to-surface targets as well as to collect intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data.

According to CATP solicitation documents, the follow-on award comprises a basic and four one-year ordering periods and a pair of one-year options.
