Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT - Free Report) has secured a U.S. Navy contract for support services of the Advanced Electronic Guidance and Instrumentation System (AEGIS) program. The contract is slated to be completed by Nov 2019.
This is a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract that covers in-service combat systems engineering, computer program maintenance, annual inspection, regular overhaul execution support, in-country support and staging. Lockheed Martin will also replace Japan’s legacy cathode ray tube character readout devices and provide logistics depot support for Norway’s unique line replaceable units.
This defense contract involves foreign military sales (“FMS”) to support the naval forces of Japan, South Korea, Norway, Australia and Spain through AEGIS implementation studies for future FMS shipbuilding programs.
This contract has a base value of $357 million and includes options which, if exercised, would bring the total contract value to $421 million.
Work under the contract will be carried out in California, New Jersey and Washington D.C., as well as in Adelaide, Australia; Changwon and Busan, South Korea; Tokyo, Nagasaki, Maizuru, Yokosuka and Yokohama in Japan; Bergen, Norway; and Sydney, Australia.
Lockheed Martin is the largest U.S. defense contractor, with a platform-centric focus that guarantees a steady inflow of follow-on orders from a leveraged presence in the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and IT programs. The company’s diverse product offerings allow it to enjoy a consistent stream of orders from the U.S. and allied partners.
Recently, it won a contract from the U.S. Army for work on Sensor Systems – Aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“SS-AISR”). With an initial term of one year, the contract offers two one-year options and has been valued at $733 million.
Earlier this month, Lockheed Martin received a $331.8 million contract from the U.S. Army for the Lot 11 Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (“GMLRS”) rockets for domestic as well as international customers.
Lockheed Martin currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
