SALINA, N.Y. — The U.S. Navy wants nearly $42 million in sonar systems from Lockheed Martin’s (NYSE: LMT) location in the town of Salina.
The $41.9 million order is a modification to a previously awarded contract, exercising options for the production of TB-37 multi-function towed array, according to the website of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
The contract calls for production units, accessories, and shipping products, and the performance of engineering services.
Besides the U.S. Navy purchase, the contract also includes foreign military sales to Japan.
