Bethesda (Map, News) - Bethesda-based Lockheed Martin on Tuesday announced it has been awarded a $40 million contract from the U.S. Army to install low-frequency radar systems into unmanned Predator drones.

Work on the contract is expected to take place at Lockheed facilities in Arizona over the course of a 32-month period. The new radar is expected to provide images to ground troops in all weather and lighting conditions and allow information to be downloaded to ground stations. Lockheed also expects to upgrade ground equipment to receive information from the drones.

 Examiner Reader said:
HR 1873 does not require immediate recertification of companies registered as a small business. This goes directly against the spirit of the Small Business Act of 1953. HR 1873 has absolutely no provisions of any kind that would stop Hundred's of Fortune 1000 firms and international firms that have received federal small business contracts from continuing to receive billions in federal small business contracts until 2012.
