Lockheed Martin awarded US Army contract for ATACMS missiles

Lockheed Martin announced a $364 million production contract for Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles for the U.S. Army and a Foreign Military Sales customer. The program will allow the military services to upgrade their existing Block 1 missiles with new technology and double the range, while extending the missiles' shelf life by more than 10 years and providing warfighters the latest surface-to-surface missile capability.
