The system can be integrated on various fighter and bomber aircraft, including, the F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F/A-18 Hornet, B-1 Lancer, B-52 Stratofortress, A-10 Thunderbolt II and F-2, according to Lockheed Martin. Work on the contract will occur in Florida and Georgia, and is expected to be completed by December 2022.
