Lockheed has been awarded a contract for the production of mod 7 common broadband advanced sonar system (CBASS) functional item replacement (FIR) kits.

The $50.6m fixed-price incentive, firm-fixed price, cost-plus-fixed fee contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of the contract to $235.2m.

The mk48 mod 7 kit production programme will supply the US Navy with FIR upgrade kits consisting of a guidance and control box, broadband analogue sonar receiver, preamplifier, cable assemblies, as well as guidance and control materials.

The CBASS programme will provide the mk48 ADCAP mod 6 torpedo with a wideband sonar system, and advanced broadband signal processing algorithms for enhanced detection and prosecution of shallow water threat targets.
