Lockheed Martin received two Naval Air Systems Command (Navair) contracts on October 26. One was awarded directly to the company and covers the production of four Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk “Romeo” naval helicopters for Greece, while the other was awarded to Lockheed Martin-owned Sikorsky for the next production batch of CH-53K King Stallions destined for the U.S. Marine Corps.
