LogisticsLockheed Martin is collaborating with Advanced Electronics Co. to establish a facility in Saudi Arabia that would offer aircraft targeting pod repair services to that nation’s air force.

The companies will build the Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod repair center through the Saudi Arabian government’s economic offset program, Lockheed said Monday.

“AEC is a strategic partner in the Kingdom, and we look forward to finding additional opportunities to work together,” said John Rogers, F-15SA program manager at Lockheed’s missiles and fire control business.

Lockheed says it will train AEC technicians to maintain Sniper replaceable units, as well as to update Sniper and LANTIRN navigation and targeting pod systems.

Sniper ATPs are used by the U.S. and 16 foreign nations to support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, and designed to operate on aircraft platforms such as the F-15, F-16, F-18, A-10, B-1 and B-52, according to Lockheed.
