Lockheed Martin
has been awarded a contract worth $101 million over five years to produce AN/USQ-78B acoustic processing and display systems for the US Navy's P-3C maritime patrol aircraft.
Lockheed Martin will build 69 AN/USQ-78B acoustic system upgrade kits, 53 AN/USQ-78B acoustic system retrofit kits, and seven T-78 acoustic system trainers. Lockheed Martin will also provide engineering and technical services.
The initial delivery order for fiscal year 2005 is worth $28 million for 18 systems and 36 retrofit kits.

The system supports the command and control of the signal processors, drives the displays and controls for two sensor stations and communicates with other acoustic subsystems.
