Lockheed Martin has received a $90.6 million Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract from the U.S. Army for sustainment of the
Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (M-TADS/PNVS) system.
The firm, fixed price contract provides a comprehensive sustainment solution that enables mission readiness, reduces operation and support costs, and drives reliability and maintainability improvements. This is the first of three options under the $111 million PBL contract awarded in 2012. The total four-year contract value is $375 million.
M-TADS/PNVS is the advanced electro-optical fire controlsystem that Apache helicopter pilots use for safe flight in day, night or bad weather missions. It provides Apache pilots with long-range, electro-optical precision engagement and flying capabilities.
PBL is a strategy for system product support that allows Apache aircrews to depend on the situational awareness and targeting accuracy provided by M-TADS/PNVS.
