The U.S. Air Force has awarded a contract worth $1 billion to Lockheed Martin Corp. for its Super Hercules military airlift aircraft, the U.S. Department of Defense said Wednesday. The announcement comes amid a legal battle between the defense contractor and the Pentagon over a separate deal.
"Lockheed Martin Corp., Marietta, Georgia, has been awarded a $1,060,940,036... contract for C-130J [Super Hercules aircraft] multi-year production aircraft," the defense department said, in a statement. Lockheed is expected to build 32 new Super Hercules aircraft and supply it to the army by April 2020, the statement added.
