Lockheed Martin continues COMBATSS-21 sustainment
COMBATSS-21 is a modular, scalable and open-architecture combat management system aboard USN Littoral Combat Ships
The latest contract modification for Lockheed includes hardware and provisioned items for the combat management system aboard LCS.
Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems is providing hardware and provisioned items to support the Littoral Combat Ship Component Based Total Ship System – 21st Century (COMBATSS-21) and associated combat management system elements for the USN.
The company will perform work under the latest $72.18 million contract modification in Jarfalla, Sweden (84%) and Syracuse, New York (16%), for completion by May 2022.
COMBATSS-21 is not only in operation with LCS vessels. In August 2016, Lockheed Martin was awarded a five-year, $79 million contract to equip USN frigates with the open architecture system.
It has also been selected for the Constellation-class FFG(X) programme, according to Shephard Defence Insight.
