Lockheed Martin has won a $30 million contract option for the Navy's acquisition program that will upgrade its current electronic warfare system.

Lockheed Martin has won a $30 million contract modification to exercise the firm-fixed-price options for the Navy’s surface electronic warfare improvement program.

The Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program Block 2 System is an acquisition program to upgrade the existing AN/SLQ-32(V) Electronic Warfare System, the Defense Department said in a release.

Lockheed had just won a $27.4 million contract modification to exercise the fixed-price-incentive options.

Work will be performed in Syracuse, N.Y., and in Lansdale, Pa., and will be completed by September 2014.

Contract funds will not expire at the end of fiscal 2013.
