Defense Watch: LMT LUSV, Air Force Budget, NRO Launch

摘要

LMT LUSV. Lockheed Martin said Sept. 17 it is partnering with Vigor on its bid for the Navy’s Large Unmanned Surface Vessel (LUSV) competition. Lockheed Martin, along with five other companies, won a $7 million contract on Sept. 4 for studies on the LUSV ahead of a future detailed design and construction contract decision. If they win, Lockheed Martin said it would act as prime contractor to manage the program as well as deliver platform integration, systems engineering, combat management, automation and cyber solutions. Vigor would build the LUSVs themselves.
