Lockheed Martin Lands US Air Force Common Ground Architecture Contract Modification

Lockheed Martin has received a $10,071,486 contract modification from the U.S. Air Force to further the service’s common ground architecture implementation work.

Lockheed Martin will assist the Air Force in surveillance tasking and space-based infrared systems refactoring to help extend the capabilities of the Naval Research Laboratory’s Neptune CGA, the Defense Department said Thursday.

The company will perform work in Sunnyvale, California, through Sept. 30, 2018.

Operators use the common ground architecture to handle space vehicle passes and automate operations schedule.
