Lockheed Martin has secured two U.S. Navy contracts worth approximately $3.3 billion combined to support work on the Trident II D5 missile program.
Trident II D5 is a submarine-launched fleet ballistic missile currently aboard the U.S. Navy’s Ohio-class and U.K. navy’s Vanguard-class submarines.
The Department of Defense said Monday the first award valued at about $2.1 billion covers the production and deployed systems support of the Trident II D5 missile and Warhead 93/Mark7 development.
Lockheed’s space business division will perform work under the contract modification in Colorado, Pennsylvania, Florida, Utah, Georgia, Washington, California, North Carolina, Arkansas and Maine, among other locations, through the end of September 2029.
The Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs will obligate $143.5 million in weapons procurement funds for fiscal year 2024.
The second contract worth approximately $1.2 billion calls for Lockheed’s rotary and mission systems business to provide Strategic Weapon System Trident fleet support, Trident II shipboard integration increment eight and navigation subsystem development services.
Work on the hybrid contract will occur in New York, California, Virginia and other locations through Sept. 29, 2031.
The two awards include foreign military sales to the U.K.
