Lockheed Martin‘s (NYSE: LMT) aeronautics business has received a $1.1 billion contract modification from Naval Air Systems Command to carry out lot 15 production of F-35 jets.

This award calls for the company to deliver six units of the fifth-generation aircraft to the U.S. Marine Corps and another 10 to the U.S. Air Force, the Department of Defense said Friday.
