Navy awards Lockheed Martin contract modification for F-35 ALIS equipment

The Navy last week announced it has awarded a $150.5 million contract modification to Lockheed Martin for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter’s Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS).

According to the contract notice, the modification "provides for Autonomic Logistics Information System hardware and support equipment in support of low rate initial production Lot 11" for the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, as well as foreign military sales and international partners.

The service anticipates Lockheed Martin completing the work in November 2023, the announcement reads.

In June, the Defense Department announced it had achieved a $34 billion "handshake agreement" with Lockheed Martin for Lot 12 of the F-35 program, with options for lots 13 and 14.
