 Martin Wins $25M Deal to Support CH-53K Aircraft

 Lockheed Martin Corp.’s LMT business unit, Sikorsky, recently secured a modification contract to support maintenance of CH-53K helicopter. The deal was awarded by the Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, MD.

 Valued at $25.1 million, the contract is expected to be completed in August 2024.

This will support all operational, intermediate, and depot level maintenance for the CH-53K helicopter. The majority of the work related to the deal will be executed in Stratford, CT.

The new heavy lifter allows the U.S. Marine Corps and international militaries to move troops and equipment from ship to shore, and to higher altitude terrains more quickly and effectively.
