Lockheed Martin's $174.9 million contract with the U.S. Navy calls for updating components of the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile system. The contract, announced by the Defense Department on Wednesday, is an order relating to a previously issued basic ordering agreement. It specifies engineering, testing, product support and ancillary support to update the current LRASM components and systems. The system involves a long-range, precision-guided anti-ship missile. Armed with a penetrator and blast fragmentation warhead, it employs precision routing and guidance, in all weather conditions. It includes a multimodal sensor suite, weapon data link and enhanced digital anti-jam GPS to detect and destroy specific targets within a group of numerous ships at sea. Integration efforts onto F/A-18E/F fighter planes have begun. The contract with Lockheed Martin is part of a planned Quick Reaction Assessment of the Navy's Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare Increment 1 program for use of weapons on the F/A-18E/F aircraft, planned for Fiscal Year 2019.

The Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River, Md., is the contracting agent.
