lockheed martinLockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has received a potential three-year, $882 million contract modification from the Missile Defense Agency to build 20 additional lot 8 interceptors for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense platform.

The THAAD battery is composed of a launcher, interceptors, AN/TPY-2 X-band radar and a fire control tool that works to connect THAAD to BMDS and external-based command-and-control elements.

Contract work will occur in Texas, Alabama and Arkansas through Sept. 30, 2019, according to DoD.

MDA will obligate $198.7 million from fiscal 2016 procurement funds at the time of award.
