Under the program, Lockheed received a $113.6 million contract modification in August 2024 for full-rate production of SEWIP AN/SLQ-32(V)6 and AN/SLQ-32C(V)6 systems, following a potential $812.1 million follow-on contract awarded in 2020 to produce new variants of the shipboard EW system. In addition, the Naval Sea Systems Command issued a request for proposals in February for a potential $7.13 billion multiple-award contract to further support AN/SLQ-32 modernization efforts under SEWIP.
