Lockheed Martin has received a $218 million contract for a foreign military sale to Romania for the procurement of 18 M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems. The modification to a previous contract, announced Thursday by the Department of Defense, provides for training, spare parts and future improvements and modifications for the system. Work will be performed in Grand Prairie, Texas, with an estimated completion date of December 2020. Fiscal 2018 foreign military sales funds in the amount of $106.2 million have been obligated at the time of the award. The U.S. State Department last year approved an overall $1.25 billion HIMARS package for Romania that included 54 HIMARS launchers, 81 guided multiple launch rocket systems and 81 M30A1 alternative warhead, among other equipment, vehicles and support.
