L-3 Communications has been competitively awarded a $30 million contract from the U.S. Coast Guard to missionize two Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules aircraft using a next-generation mission system suite.
The total value of the contract, with all options exercised, is approximately $93 million and work will be performed by L-3 Platform Integration in Waco, Texas.
The government-owned mission system was developed jointly by the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy and is operated across multiple platforms.
Under the five-year contract, L-3 will integrate mission systems on two baseline configuration C-130J long-range surveillance aircraft. The contract’s multiple options include performing the same work on three additional baseline configuration aircraft and converting seven HC-130J aircraft.
L-3 will produce, install, test and deliver the mission system on each aircraft. It has performed similar missionization work for theU.S. Navy.
L-3 Platform Integration has delivered hundreds of C-130 aircraft, performing mission and weapon systems integration, avionics modernization, and heavy structural refurbishment for numerous customers, including the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Special Operations Command and numerous international C-130 operators.
