Lockheed Martin has received $99 million in delivery orders for Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods, the company announced Tuesday.

The U.S. foreign military sales, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract covers customers in Belgium, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, The Netherlands and Turkey, Lockheed said in a statement.

The U.S. Air Force awarded the contract in 2015.

It has a $485 million ceiling and is valid through March 2018.

Under the contract, customers can choose from a selection of pre-priced Sniper ATPs, reducing the acquisition timeline from months to weeks, Lockheed said.

Sniper ATP detects, identifies, automatically tracks and laser designates small tactical targets at long ranges.

It also supports use of all laser and GPS-guided weapons against multiple fixed and moving targets.

The Sniper ATP is operable across multiple platforms, including F-2, F-15, F-16, F-18, A-10, B-1 and B-52 aircraft.
