Lockheed Martin Awarded $1B For F-35 Training Device Production

Lockheed Martin Corp. has been awarded a $1 billion modification from U.S. Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, against a previously awarded contract. The modification exercises options and increases the ceiling for Lockheed to provide site activation and hardware requirements, to include site activation events and training devices, as well as contract management, planning and readiness reviews and associated non-recurring introduction to service activities.

Additionally, the modification allows for production readiness requirements and production engineering for training device production lines in support of F-35A, F-35B and F-35C aircraft initial sustainment activities for the U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, non-Department of Defense participants, and Foreign Military Sales customers.

Work will be performed in Orlando, Florida;  Fort Worth, Texas; and Owego, New York, and is expected to be completed in December 2028.
