The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) on Wednesday notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Norway of six MH-60R helicopters and sustainment work for the C-130J aircraft totaling over $1.1 billion.
Lockheed Martin [LMT] is the prime contractor for both deals.
The helicopter deal, worth an estimated $1 billion, also includes 15
