Overview
- The Navy issued a cost-plus-incentive-fee contract change to Lockheed Martin Space worth $850,410,935 to carry Trident II D5 Life Extension 2 forward through September 2030.
- All funding comes from fiscal 2026 weapons procurement accounts and is obligated at award, with money available beyond this fiscal year.
- The modification funds advanced design and development under Strategic Systems Programs to sustain the submarine-launched ballistic missile.
- Just over 55% of the work will occur in Denver, with additional tasks in Cape Canaveral, Titusville, Orlando, and Clearwater in Florida, as well as in Utah, Maryland, Virginia, and California.
- The effort keeps the existing missile in service during the move to Columbia-class submarines, which avoids a clean-sheet replacement and supports the specialized industrial base.
