CORDOBA, Argentina, May 9, 2005 -- The government of Brazil has selected Lockheed Martin to provide comprehensive logistics support services for six navy A-4 aircraft and 10 J52-P408 engines. The four-year contract will begin in July and is valued at $6.5 million.
Under the contract, Lockheed Martin will provide maintenance services such as engine overhaul, flight line and depot level maintenance for the A-4s, and on the job training for technicians from the Brazilian Navy. The maintenance will be performed at the Brazilian Navy base in São Pedro da Aldeia. Engine overhaul will be performed at Lockheed Martin’s Aircraft Argentina facility in Cordoba.
