Lockheed Martin has received a $61.9 million contract option to produce C-130J Super Hercules aircraft for the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Defense Department said Thursday Lockheed will build the military transport aircraft at a company facility in Marietta, Georgia, through April 30, 2020.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is the contracting activity and will obligate the full modification amount at the time of award from the Coast Guard’s fiscal 2017 aircraft procurement funds.
C-130J is a tactical airlifter designed to resupply troops during combat, search and rescue, humanitarian, special operations, aerial refueling and firefighting missions.
