U.S. Navy Awards $75.6M to Lockheed Martin for Combat Systems Integration
The U.S. Navy has awarded Lockheed Martin a contract modification worth $75.6 million for systems engineering and software integration to enhance combat systems across the Navy and Coast Guard fleets. This effort aims to unify combat system software and improve interoperability among various naval platforms through the Integrated Combat System architecture.
Lockheed Martin has received a $75.6 million contract modification to support the Navy's Integrated Combat System (ICS) architecture. This contract, modifying N00024-23-C-5117, focuses on systems engineering, integration, and testing activities expected to continue until September 2026.
The ICS framework is designed to streamline software updates for surface combatants, aircraft carriers, and amphibious ships. The program emphasizes improving interoperability and rapid deployment of new mission capabilities across various ship types, including Aegis destroyers and cruisers.
The project also integrates advanced technologies such as AI and digital engineering methodologies. Major work locations include Moorestown, NJ, and Columbia, MD, among others.
