# Army Awards Lockheed Apache RFI Support Contract

On October 13, 2026, the U.S. Army awarded Lockheed Martin a **$117.1 million** five-year IDIQ contract for post-production support of the Generation II Radar Frequency Interferometer used on AH-64 Apache helicopters. The contract runs through October 12, 2031, with funding and work locations determined by individual orders. The award followed one solicitation and one proposal, so it is an incumbent award rather than an open competition; the Army’s separate request for $107 million for aircraft survivability in FY2027 signals continued demand in this capability area.

- Suppliers can assess potential subcontracting opportunities with Lockheed Martin as individual orders define specific work and funding; the award itself does not identify a new open solicitation.
- Defense contractors should account for the five-year support period through October 12, 2031, when planning Apache sensor and survivability work.
- The Army’s FY2027 request for $107 million for aircraft survivability provides relevant demand context for firms supplying related systems and support.
