Lockheed to Help Update Defense Communications
Patience Wait writes in The Washington Post:
In less than a week, Lockheed Martin Corp. won two key contracts for improving and expanding space-based communications systems for the military.
On Jan. 27, the Air Force picked the Bethesda contractor to carry out the Mission Operations System contract for its space communications program. The contract is for 10 years and has an anticipated value of $2.1 billion.
On Thursday, the Air Force awarded the company a contract, worth $491 million, to build a third spacecraft for the Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite system. The company already holds contracts for the initial two satellites.
