💨 Abstract
The Pentagon awarded Lockheed Martin a $328.5 million contract for Taiwan's Air Force, providing 55 Infrared Search and Track Legion Enhanced Sensor pods to meet urgent operational needs. This move, part of a larger $11.1 billion arms package, aims to bolster Taiwan's defense amid increasing military pressure from China. The contract, to be completed by 2031, comes as Taiwan remains on high alert following China's military drills around the island.
