Lockheed Martin has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Navy for flight test software on the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter aircraft. The deal, announced Tuesday by the Department of Defense, is valued at more than $10.8 million under the terms of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, which modifies a previous Pentagon award. The modified contract from Naval Air Systems Command provides additional funding resources to enable Lockheed Martin to support sustainment efforts on flight test software tailored for the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter, a fifth-generation aircraft, the Pentagon said. Lockheed Martin's services will benefit F-35 programs within the U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy and non-Department of Defense participants.

The funds will be allocated from fiscal 2018 operations and maintenance funds for the three U.S. military services and from non-Defense Department participants. The contract announcements said that more than $8.7 million of the obligated funds will expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
