Lockheed Martin wins more work on Aegis Ashore in Poland
Engineering activities to be completed by January 2022
Lockheed Martin has obtained a $14.25 million contract modification from the Missile Defense Agency to conduct more engineering work on the Aegis Ashore installation in Redzikowo, Poland (pictured).
The modification raises the total cumulative value of the contract to $97.79 million if all options are exercised.
Lockheed Martin will configure the Polish integration site and perform test, maintenance and upgrades of the Aegis Combat System ‘prior to final installation within the Aegis Ashore Ballistic Missile Defense System’, the DoD announced on 6 November.
Work will be performed in the US (15%) and Redzikowo (85%), for completion by 26 January 2022.
Aegis Ashore is the land-based version of the USN Aegis combat system.
Since 2016, the US has had an operational Aegis Ashore system in Romania to defend against Iranian ballistic missiles. However, Shephard Defence Insight notes that construction problems mean that the IOC of the Polish installation has been delayed to 2022 at the earliest.
Both sites form part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach to provide ballistic missile defence for NATO countries and US forces deployed in Europe.
