UK to procure Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System
The UK has placed an order for the delivery of management and maintenance services for the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System software from Lockheed Martin.
In a Department of Defense (DoD) statement, Lockheed Martin was confirmed to have won the cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract which is worth $88.98 million.
Work on the fulfilment of the contract obligations will occur at Lockheed Martin facilities in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and is expected to be completed by 2024.
The Naval Air Systems Command is the contracting activity and funds will be obligated when individual orders are issued.
