Lockheed Martin Space Systems Co. has been awarded a $49.7 million contract modification for the Space-Based Infrared System Survivable Endurable Evolution, or S2E2, Increment 3.

The contract covers logistics support, legacy sustainment and combined task force support.

Work will be performed in California and Colorado, with an expected completion date of December 2019.

The system includes satellites and payloads at various orbits as well as ground-based hardware and software.
