Oct. 31 (UPI) — Lockheed Martin’s Rotary and Mission Systems have received a contract from the U.S. Navy to build and integrate combat systems into South Korean naval warships.
Under the terms of the $366 million cost-plus-incentive-fee contract, the companies will install, test and delivery of the Aegis Combat System K2 baselines for three KDX-III destroyers.
The KDX destroyers have another combat system, the Samsung Thales Naval Shield Integrated Combat Management System, which allows the ships to connect with any non-U.S. weapons systems.
Rotary and Mission Systems will also deliver program management, system engineering and computer program development support, along with ship integration and testing; technical manuals and planned maintenance system documentation.
