LCS COMBATSS-21 to be sustained by Lockheed
Lockheed Martin has won a $98.64 million sole-source contract for sustainment of the Littoral Combat Ship Component Based Total Ship System 21st Century (LCS COMBATSS-21) combat management system (CMS).
The support contract was announced on 20 March. Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington D.C. is the contracting authority.
Lockheed Martin will maintain the CMS, while also developing, integrating, testing and delivering future upgrades.
LCS COMBATSS-21 is not only in operation with USN Littoral Combat Ships. In August 2016, Lockheed Martin was awarded a five-year, $79 million contract to equip USN frigates with the system as well.
