BETHESDA (dpa-AFX) - The U.S. Missile Defense Agency has awarded Lockheed
Martin an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, with a maximum
ceiling amount of about $4.1 billion. The ordering period spans from May 1,
2024, through April 30, 2029, with an option to extend through April 30, 2034.

The contract is aimed at accelerating innovation and sustaining Lockheed
Martin's leadership in developing the Command and Control, Battle Management,
and Communications (C2BMC) system, the company said.

Under the new C2BMC-Next scope, the system will undergo significant upgrades,
incorporating the latest 21st Century Security technology. These enhancements
are designed to enable faster, multi-domain coordinated responses to emerging
threats. The Lockheed Martin team will primarily conduct this work at a new
facility in Huntsville, Alabama, along with locations in Colorado Springs,
Colorado.
