Lockheed Martin Installs New Combat System

Lockheed Martin has announced that it has helped the Navy to install the Aegis Combat System on two new destroyers, the USS Gravely and the USS Jason Dunham, and that tests have certified the systems as fully operational.

Carmen Valentino, the vice president of Future Surface Combat systems at Lockheed Martin  said that, “The Aegis systems installed on these two ships represent continued improvements to what is a very agile and capable Aegis system. Our Aegis team has successfully delivered 15 technological evolutions to the Navy, taking the Aegis combat system from an anti-ship missile system to the basis for the U.S. approach to global missile defense.”
