The Naval
Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division, has awarded Lockheed Martin
[NYSE: LMT] $150 million in follow-on production contracts to provide the U.S.
Marine Corps with the Target Sight System (TSS) for the AH-1Z “Viper” attack
helicopter.
Under the
contracts, Lockheed Martin will produce TSS Lot 13 and Lot 14. The award also
contains options for TSS Lots 15 and 16, which would bring the total in
follow-on production contracts to $284.6 million with all options exercised.
Work will be completed in Orlando and Ocala, Florida.
“The advanced
capabilities and proven reliability of TSS provide the U.S. Marine Corps with a
technological combat edge,” said Paul Lemmo, vice president of Fire Control/SOF
CLSS at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “Its long-range precision
strike capability significantly enhances the helicopter’s lethality and aircrew
survivability.”
Since 2008,
Lockheed Martin has provided the U.S. Marine Corps with more than 100 TSS
units. Production and sustainment efforts for TSS are ongoing through 2026.
