Lockheed Martin, SYRACUSE, NY: Lockheed Martin has been awarded $22.8 million in contracts by the Marine Corps Systems Command to upgrade and provide field support for tactical missile defense radar systems used to protect allied soldiers in both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Lockheed Martin received a $13.8 million contract to provide new electronics — including transmitters, receivers and power supplies — for three AN/TPS-59(V)3 radar systems and spares. The Marine Corps also awarded the company a $9 million contract to provide five years of post-production support and Contracted Engineering Technical Services (CETS) for 11 AN/TPS-59(V)3 radars currently deployed around the world. Lockheed Martin technicians have provided in-field support, often in harsh environments and actual combat theaters, for the Marines and their AN/TPS-59s since 1984.
