Defense contractor Lockheed Martin secured two Pentagon contracts worth $114 million. The Defense Department said in a May 26 notice that the company will provide one more year of engineering service to sustain and improve all variants of a system for launching rockets. Lockheed will ensure the Multiple Launch Rocket System is properly maintained, safe to operate, reliable and performs as expected for the $14 million the contract is worth, which brings the overall deal to $230 million. The company also secured a contract to supply F-35 aircraft parts. The Pentagon stated in the notice: “This order procures 1,459 brake assembly heat sinks, including 1,075 for the F-35A Lightning II conventional takeoff and landing aircraft and 384 for the F-35B Lightning II short takeoff and vertical landing aircraft in support of depot-level brake repairs. “This effort supports resolution of existing thermal management constraints, ensures the reliability of critical avionics, and supports forecasted fleet requirements for serviceable brakes to sustain warfighter operational requirements for the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, F-35 program partners, and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers.”
