Lockheed awarded contract for Trident II production, support by James Laporta Washington (UPI) Mar 20, 2018 Lockheed Martin has been awarded a contract for production and support of the Trident II D5, a submarine-launched ballistic missile. The deal, announced Monday by the Department of Defense, is valued at more than $522.3 million under the terms of a fixed-price-incentive, cost-plus-incentive-fee, and cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, which is a modification to a previous award by the U.S. Navy. The agreement cements options for the Navy to enable Lockheed Martin to produce Trident II D5 missile and provide deployed system support, the Pentagon said.
