A team led by Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman Corp. received a $75 million, six-month extension to an earlier U.S. Air Force contract to continue developing designs for a next-generation military satellite constellation.

The satellite system, known as the Transformational Satellite Communications System, or TSAT, is expected to dramatically improve the military's communications system by allowing much faster Internet-like linkups worldwide, including on the battlefield.

Northrop's share of the work is occurring in Redondo Beach.

A team led by Boeing Co. received a similar extension contract for a competing version of the TSAT.
