Under the deal, Lockheed Martin will deliver JAGM and Hellfire missiles to meet urgent operational needs of the Army, Navy and allied partners. The contract includes Foreign Military Sales (FMS), among them 160 JAGMs for the United Kingdom and Hellfire orders for NATO allies Poland, Spain, Czech Republic and Italy, as well as new customer Canada.
“This contract is a significant milestone in our ongoing partnership with the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and our international allies, and we’re proud to continue playing a vital role in their defense strategies,” said Casey Walsh, program management director of Multi-Domain Missile Systems at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “As we continue to evolve our deterrence capabilities, we remain committed to supporting the military’s critical missions and helping to protect those who serve, both at home and abroad.”
The contract also highlights the importance of international cooperation, including the Poland Hellfire order that supports the U.S. government’s recent FMS agreement for AH-64E Apache helicopters for the Polish Air Force. Lockheed Martin stated that as global security challenges evolve, it remains focused on delivering innovative solutions to meet the changing needs of its customers.
Both JAGM and Hellfire systems are designed and developed in Orlando, Florida, with manufacturing carried out across Lockheed Martin facilities in Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania and Alabama. With more than 145,000 missiles produced, the systems remain the weapon of choice in precision engagement missions.
