Lockheed Martin‘s (NYSE: LMT) aeronautics segment will develop a common reprogramming tool for the F-35 program under a $111.1 million contract modification awarded by the U.S. Navy.
The business will establish network connections to create the CRT and select a service-oriented architecture to modernize software and hardware for use by aircraft reprogramming facilities, the Department of Defense said Friday.
The Navy and the U.S. Air Force will obligate a combined $8.4 million on the award while non-DOD partners will allocate $1.6 million in initial funds.
Work will occur in Fort Worth, Texas, through October 2024.
Lockheed is helping the Navy to modernize a joint U.K. and Australian F-35 data center located at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida under a five-year, $213.3 million contract awarded in July.
