The U.S. Department of Defense awarded three separate contract modifications to Lockheed Martin totaling more than $150 million. [^1]

The U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin Space $90.2 million to continue design and development work on the second life extension of the Trident II D5 missile. [^2]

Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems in Moorestown, New Jersey, secured a $40.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-only modification for engineering integration, technical support, and depot operations for the MK 41 Vertical Launching System electronic systems and computer programs, with work primarily in Moorestown (60%), Ventura, California (16%), San Diego, California (10%), and other locations, and completion expected by December 2027. [^3]

Lockheed Martin Rotary Mission Systems in Stratford, Connecticut, received a $20.3 million modification for HH-60W repairs, bringing the total cumulative value of the original contract to $6.5 billion from $6.4 billion, with completion expected by April 30, 2027. [^4]

The contract modification covers work the Navy calls 'SSP Alteration Advanced Design and Development,' tied to the missile's ongoing upgrade program known as D5LE2. [^5]

The D5LE2 upgrade is intended to keep the missile credible into the 2040s and beyond, and it will eventually be carried aboard the Navy's incoming Columbia-class submarines and the U.K.'s planned Dreadnought-class boats. [^6]

Trident II D5 missiles have been deployed since 1990 aboard U.S. Ohio-class and U.K. Vanguard-class submarines and completed an earlier life extension program in 2017. [^7]
