SALINA, N.Y. — The U.S. Navy wants nearly $42 million in sonar systems from Lockheed Martin’s (NYSE: LMT) location in the town of Salina.
The $41.9 million order is a modification to a previously awarded contract, exercising options for the production of TB-37 multi-function towed array, according to the website of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
The contract calls for production units, accessories, and shipping products, and the performance of engineering services.
Besides the U.S. Navy purchase, the contract also includes foreign military sales to Japan.

Besides the Salina plant, Lockheed Martin workers in Millersville, Maryland and Marion, Massachusetts will also contribute to the work, which should be complete by September 2019, according to the DOD website.
The sonar-contract award comes just over two months after the U.S. Army awarded the Salina plant of Lockheed Martin a nearly $1.6 billion contract for the AN/TP-Q-53 radar system, or, Q-53.
The Bethesda, Maryland–based defense contractor said the award represented the “largest contract in Lockheed Martin Syracuse history.”
