Lockheed awarded $99M for JASSM life-cycle support to Finland, Poland, Australia

The Air Force has awarded $99 million to Lockheed Martin to provide life-cycle support to the three foreign countries that purchased its long-range, precision standoff missile.

According to an Aug. 13 Defense Department notice, the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract provides Finland, Poland and Australia with assistance for all efforts related to their Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles and any variants. These include system upgrades, integration, production, sustainment, management and logistical support.

Work will be performed in Orlando, FL, and is scheduled to be completed by August 2024.

A 2,000-pound weapon, JASSM can be integrated on Finland's and Australia's F/A-18 Hornets and Poland's F-16 fleet.
