Lockheed Martin is a Bethesda, Maryland–based defense contractor, with upstate New York manufacturing plants in Salina and Owego.
The firm’s employees in Salina will perform most of the work on this contract, while Lockheed workers in Lansdale, Pennsylvania will handle about 20 percent of the work, per the DOD website. The Navy expects the defense contractor to finish work on the contract by April 2022.
