OWEGO — Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems in Owego has recently been awarded a nearly $13.2 million modification to an order against a previously issued basic ordering agreement from the U.S. Navy. This modification exercises an option to provide 105 mission-computer retrofit kits (101 for the Navy, three for the government of Australia, and one for the government of Denmark); 28 flight-computer retrofit kits (22 for the Navy, three for Australia, one for Denmark, and two for the government of Saudi Arabia); and 100 Lynx and 55 Redhat software licenses for the Navy — all in support of the H-60 aircraft. That’s according to an April 5 contract announcement from the U.S. Department of Defense. Work will be performed at the Lockheed Martin plant in Owego, and is expected to be completed in November 2026, per the contract announcement. Fiscal 2024 aircraft procurement (Navy) of more than $12.4 million and foreign-military sales customer funds totaling $767,672 will be obligated at the time of award — none of which will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Maryland is the contracting authority.
