Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) will manufacture additional Hellfire air-to-ground missile systems for the U.S. Army under a $702.9M contract modification.
The military service obligated $702.7M at the time of award, the Department of Defense said Wednesday. DoD expects work to conclude by Sept. 30, 2023.
