Lockheed Martin Receives Contract for C-130J Super Hercules Airlifters for Norway

Lockheed Martin has received an Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA) from the U.S. government valued at $304 million for the purchase of four C-130J Super Hercules airlifters, plus initial spares and training, for Norway through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.

The UCA initially funds 50% of the program and will allow Lockheed Martin to begin long-lead acquisition of production materials. A fully definitized contract for the Norwegian aircraft is expected to be signed early next year.

"We are proud to provide the Royal Norwegian Air Force with a new airlift fleet," said Ross Reynolds, vice president of C-130 programs for Lockheed Martin. "As the first FMS order for the C-130J, this marks yet another important milestone in the history of the world's most versatile airlifter."
