Lockheed Martin has been awarded an $8.2 million Air Force contract to develop a seeker that functions when GPS isn’t available.
The contract calls for development of a “low SWaP-C (size-weight-power and cost) seeker prototype capable of providing day and night navigation and precision terminal homing to a weapon platform which may engage moving, locatable and stationary targets in a contested environment where the Global Positioning System may not be reliably available,” according to the Department of Defense contract announcement.
There were 17 offers from contractors to develop the technology for the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Munitions Directorate.
