The US Navy awarded defense manufacturer Lockheed Martin a $208.7 million contract to produce three Aegis Weapon Systems.
These Aegis Weapon Systems will equip the three Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and will provide the Navy with an adaptable open-architecture weapons system that can be upgraded as technology evolves or threats change.
Aegis is currently deployed on 68 US Navy cruisers and destroyers stationed around the world, with 18 more ships currently planned. Aegis is also the primary weapon system on the Japanese Kongo-class destroyers, the Spanish F-100 and the Norwegian New Frigate. The Republic of Korea is now building three Aegis-equipped destroyers, and Australia selected the Aegis Weapon System for its Air Warfare Destroyer program.
Lockheed Martin employs about 130,000 people worldwide.
