Lockheed Martin Corp.'s Orlando missiles unit has won a lucrative deal to supply Canada's air force with advanced targeting systems for its jet fighters, the company said Monday.
Under terms of the deal, Lockheed will produce three dozen Sniper targeting systems for Canada's fleet of CF-18 Hornets, the company said. The deal includes spare parts, logistics support and other equipment.
Although Lockheed would not disclose the financial terms, the Canadian government issued a statement indicating that the contract's value will exceed $100 million through 2020.
