Lockheed Martin was awarded a new military contract to modernize sight-pilot night vision sensors on AH-64 Apache helicopters.

Bethesda (Map, News) - Lockheed Martin, a Bethesda-based researcher, designer, developer and manufacturer of advanced technology, announced the signing of a $380 million contract with the U.S. military.

A four-year deal, the performance-based logistics contract is for Lockheed to support the Target Acquisition Designation Sight-Pilot Night Vision Sensor and to modernize the same system on the AH-64 Apache helicopter.

The first year of the deal is valued at about $123 million.

“This ... program will reduce the length of the supply pipeline, enabling the U.S. Army to receive spare parts more quickly,” Dave Bevlin, a Lockheed product support manager, said in a statement. “More efficient supply management will reduce operation and support cost burdens, providing funds for continuing system modernization and reliability improvements.”

As of Monday, shares of Lockheed were trading at $99.02, up 18 cents, or 0.18 percent.

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.
