The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded Lockheed Martin a $3.2 billion contract involving foreign military sales of joint air-to-surface standoff missiles and long-range anti-ship missiles to Japan, the Netherlands, Finland and Poland.
Lockheed will work on the firm-fixed-price, undefinitized contract in Orlando, Florida, and completion is expected in July 2032.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida is the contracting activity, DOD said Friday.
Fiscal year 2024 funds obligated at the time of award include $1.5 billion from the U.S. Air Force’s missile budget, $176.3 million under the U.S. Navy’s weapon procurement allocation, and $2.1 million from USAF’s operations and maintenance budget. FMS funds amounting to $751.7 million are also being obligated at the time of award.
Japan, the Netherlands, Poland and Finland have secured U.S. State Department approval for the proposed purchase of extended-range JASSMs.
The Japanese administration sought to acquire 50 missiles for an estimated $104 million to match its upgraded F-15J interceptors, while the Dutch government requested 120 extended-range JASSMs and related products and services valued at $908 million. Poland ordered 821 Lockheed JASSM-ERs and an additional 745 RTX advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles worth $735 million, its third JASSM acquisition to date.
In May, Finland’s Defence Minister Antti Hakkanen approved the additional procurement of JASSMs for integration into the Finnish Air Force’s F-35 multirole jet fighters.
