Introduction:

The U.S. Government has awarded Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) a $328.5 million Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract for the production of IRST21® Legion-ES® sensor systems.

Features:

This award marks an important milestone as Taiwan becomes the first international partner to receive the Legion-ES IRST21 configuration, said Cristin Stengel, programme director, Lockheed Martin IRST21.

The system will deliver advanced passive sensing capability to improve situational awareness, accelerate decision-making and support allied air forces.

The Legion-ES is an embedded and fully integrated infrared search and track (IRST) system that provides critical technology to detect and track airborne threats with high accuracy, increasing pilot reaction time and improving survivability for the U.S. and its allies.

The contract supports the recent Foreign Military Sales agreement between the U.S. Government and the Taiwan Air Force.
