The order, tacked onto an existing agreement, will fund Lockheed Martin's development of the aircraft's Technology Refresh 3 System, which will update the computer systems on board the F-35 Lightning II, the U.S. Defense Department announced Thursday. Lockheed Martin's work on the system, also called the TR3, will include design efforts through the fleet release stage.
