Lockheed Martin has secured a $67.3 million contract from the U.S. Air Force for the delivery of F-15 sensor suite spare parts for Saudi Arabia’s air force.
Lockheed said Wednesday it will supply spares for the Infrared Search and Track, Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night – Extended Range and Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod systems as part of the agreement.
The company noted that work will commence at its facilities in California and Florida and deliveries will begin in 2018.
Paul Lemmo, vice president of fire control and Special Operations Forces contractor logistics support services at Lockheed’s missiles and fire control business, said the company’s sustainment operations will work to boost the availability, performance and longevity of the Saudi Arabian air force’s IRST, LANTIRN ER and Sniper ATP systems.
