Lockheed-Martin was awarded a contract by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to provide AEGIS radars and support to the Japanese Navy. The contract is for $40 M and will be paid through Japanese FMS funds. It looks like it will outfit one Kongo class cruiser with the antennas and software. Who would have thought that MDA would be running FMS contracts? When I was there we did not even discuss it. More information on the contract award is here. More information on the Kongo class is available here.
