Lockheed wins $140 mln order for two Iraqi planes
WASHINGTON, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) has won a contract valued at $140 million to provide two additional four-engine C-130J transport planes to the Iraqi government, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
It said the U.S. Air Force contract also included non-recurring engineering and integration tasks associated with the new configuration of C-130J planes being built specifically for the Iraqi government.
The U.S. Air Force in April already added up to $293 million to an earlier Lockheed contract for four of the workhorse C-130J military transport planes. (Reporting by Andrea Shalal-Esa. Editing by Robert MacMillan)
