Lockheed Martin AcuLight Corp has been engaged in the Other Transaction Authority agreement with a ceiling of US$220,842,090 for the US Army, according to a contact announcement made on 19 July.
Prototype weapon systems developed under the US Army’s Indirect Fire Protection Capability program are expected to protect high-value military sites against enemy cruise missile, unmanned aerial system, rocket, artillery, and mortar attacks.
The systems are expected to be mobile and ground-based with the capability to bridge the gap between current defence systems.
Work will be performed in Washington, New Jersey, New York, Florida, California, and Alabama with an estimated completion date of 18 October 2025.
