The Defense Department said Tuesday the modification covers the provision of 567 modification kits for offboard system hardware and turnaround assets as well as recurring labor for the completion of hardware and software upgrades.

Lockheed will perform work through December 2021 in Texas, New Hampshire, Maryland, California, New York, Florida and Ohio in support of the U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy and international partners.
