The Missile Defense Agency contract was announced on Tuesday by the Defense Department and enables Lockheed Martin to provide "materials necessary to support Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense 6.0 modeling and simulation." The contract is valued at more than $12.8 million under the terms of a cost-plus-incentive-fee modification to a previous Pentagon award.
