Lockheed Martin Awarded Contract to Produce Multi-Function Towed Arrays for U.S. Navy

Lockheed Martin received a $10 million contract to produce and support Multi-Function Towed Arrays (MFTAs) for the U.S. Navy's AN/SQQ-89 Antisubmarine Warfare Combat System. The work will be performed at Lockheed Martin's Syracuse, NY facility.

The MFTA is the next generation passive and active sonar receiver configured as a long three inch diameter array that can be towed behind surface ships.

It provides several enhancements to the legacy AN/SQR-19 Tactical Towed Array System (TACTAS) enabling greater coverage and increased capability and reliability.

The MFTA significantly contributes to the capability of surface ships to detect, localize and prosecute undersea threats, and is a critical sensor for the ship's combat systems suite.
