Makes it all official! Great win, and yeah, seeing it to paper made me smile.

The U.S. Navy today awarded Lockheed Martin $1.54 billion to work on the Intermediate Range Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) Weapon System.

This modification contract covers design, development, build and integration of equipment for missile flight test demonstrations and fielding, a U.S. DoD release today said.

According to Lockheed Martin, Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) designs, develops, builds and tests an integrated hypersonic weapon system capable of launch from surface ships and submarines with the ability to conduct a precision strike at Mach 5+ speeds.
