Lockheed Martin has received $431 million for special tooling and test equipment to support the ramp up of F-35 production over the coming years.
The hefty sum was awarded as a modification to the current Lot 8 production contract, and comes as Lockheed and the Pentagon negotiate the purchase of approximately 150 domestic and international aircraft in Lots 9 and 10.
