The U.S. Navy has awarded Lockheed Martin two contract awards worth $119.4 million for the continued production of advanced naval displays.
The awards are a follow-on to the AN/UYQ-70 Advanced Display Systems program contract initially awarded to Lockheed Martin in 1994. This indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract covers a five-year period and is valued at an estimated $500 million.
Under the original AN/UYQ-70 contract, Lockheed Martin and industry partner DRS Technologies developed and provided ruggedized, COTS-based tactical display and computing systems that support common operating environments in surface, subsurface and airborne platforms. These workstations are installed on board the Aegis-equipped surface combatants, Virginia- and Los Angeles-class attack submarines, E-2C Hawkeye aircraft, aircraft carriers, amphibious ships and ground mobile units.
The use of COTS equipment in place of specialized hardware and software has reduced program costs by more than $1.5 billion over 11 years.
