LONGBOW International, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, received a $96 million contract in 2013 from AgustaWestland to support LONGBOW Fire Control Radars on U.K. Apache AH Mk.1 aircraft.
The five-year contract includes engineering services, integrated logistics support and an in-country repair capability. The effort is part of the overall Integrated Operational Support solution for the U.K. Apache helicopter fleet provided by AgustaWestland to the U.K. Ministry of Defence. Support services under this contract will continue through March 2019.
For over a decade, the LONGBOW radar system has provided Apache aircrews with automatic target detection, location, classification and prioritization and enabled rapid, multi-target engagement in all weather, over multiple terrains and through battlefield obscurants.
Work will be performed at the U.K. Wattisham Airfield Special Repair Activity Depot; Northrop Grumman's Baltimore, Md., facility; Lockheed Martin facilities in Ocala and Orlando, Fla.; and LMUK Ampthill in the U.K.
