Lockheed Martin plans to add 160 jobs here over the next 18 months to support its missile defense work, company officials said Tuesday.

The company will add the people to work on the Medium Extended Air Defense System, or MEADS, a joint effort among the United States, Germany and Italy. In September, Lockheed won a $767 million subcontract to develop battle management and control systems for MEADS.

"These are real jobs, too, not just planned hires," said Bob Drolet, director of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space Huntsville operations. "They will work directly on" the MEADS program.
