Lockheed Martin continues F-2 support
Filed under: Contract Awards, Japan, Lockheed Martin, MHI, Military Aviation, production program
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries continued to award Lockheed Martin contracts for support of F-2 production. This is the twelfth year in a row that they got this contract. See the story here. Lockheed Martin has now been contracted to work on all 94 F-2 aircraft ordered by the Japanese government. This again illustrates how linked the world’s aviation and military development and production business is. Most governments are looking for the best value in their procurements and that drives companies to develop links with suppliers all across the world. For more on the F-2 see this wikipedia article.
