Lockheed Martin wins contract for engineering by U.S.

Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Sensors (LM MS2), Moorestown, N.J., is being awarded a sole-source cost-plus-fixed-fee letter contract. LM MS2 will serve as the Aegis Ashore Engineering Agent providing the engineering and necessary material to support the design of the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex; the deployment sites; the integration of the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System (AAMDS) into the removable deckhouse; the installation, test and checkout of the AAMDS at these sites; and initial site maintenance and logistics support during site transfer to the lead service. This undefinitized contract action will allow LM MS2 to assist in the development of the AA Combat System (AACS) requirements, to include supporting program planning, element capability specification, and concept of operations development. LM MS2 will begin the AACS adaptation, design efforts associated with the configuration of the AAMDS in the removable structure and designing the enclosures for transport. LM MS2 will begin those activities associated with validation and verification of the deckhouse requirements and will facilitate system requirements review in September 2010 and system design review in January 2011 in accordance with the AA Program of Record while the remaining CLINs are evaluated, negotiated, and awarded for the first two years of performance.
