Lockheed Martin Corp., Bethesda, Md., won a 15-month, $35 million component advanced development contract with the Army for the Aerial Common Sensor system, the company announced April 23.
The company's Management and Data Systems unit, based in King of Prussia, Pa., won the contract, which precedes full-scale development of the ACS system.
The system is designed to replace both the Army's Guardrail/Common Sensor and the Airborne Reconnaissance Low Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems.
The new sensor is designed to carry multiple intelligence sensors, thus providing a synergistic system that the Army can deploy rapidly, tailor to specific needs of its soldiers and scale to meet the needs of troop commanders.
The subcontractors for the ACS system are Argon Engineering Inc., Fairfax, Va.; Veridian Corp., Arlington, Va.; and Harris Corp., Melbourne, Fla.
