Lockheed Martin Awards Contract to Kitron for F-35 Work
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(2016-10-25) Kitron has received a multimillion dollar contract from Lockheed
Martin (NYSE: LMT) for production of Integrated Backplane Assembly (IBA) for the
F-35 Low Rate Initial Production program, LRIP 11. Deliveries start this year
and end in 2018.
The IBA is an advanced and complex high-level assembly.
"After years of supplying for the earlier stages of the low rate initial
production program, it is good to see the volume increase to the quantities
expected for full rate production," said Hans Petter Thomassen, Managing
Director of Kitron Norway.
Norway is one of the international partner countries participating in the F-35
program. Under the manufacturing license agreement between Kitron and Lockheed
Martin, Kitron will manufacture, test, maintain and repair the IBA in the F-35.
The F-35 Lightning II is a next generation fighter, combining advanced stealth
with fighter speed and agility, advanced mission systems, fully fused sensor
information, network-enabled operations and cutting-edge sustainment. Three
distinct variants of the F-35 will replace various aircraft for the U.S. Air
Force, Marine Corps and Navy, and 11 international countries.
