Lockheed Martin has won a $11.5 million modification contract from the US Navy to supply navigation subsystem for Trident II (D5) Strategic Weapon System.

"Lockheed Martin is awarded $11.5 million for new scope under previously awarded contract to provide US Trident II (D5) Strategic Weapon System efforts for the navigation subsystem," the US Department of Defense said in a statement Wednesday.
