Lockheed Martin has won a $7 million contract for engineering services required to complete component requalification, safety testing, and initial operational test and evaluation support analyses and telemetry development tasks for the Long Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP) program.
The LRLAP is the only munition capable for use with the MK 51 gun weapon system aboard the DDG 1000 destroyer. LRLAP provides the naval surface fire support and land attack warfare mission capability, the US Department of Defense said in a statement Wednesday.
Work is expected to be completed by May 2017.
