ArmorGroup Statement - Update on Iraq Incident - 9th August 2009

ArmorGroup ~ September 15, 2009,
LONDON, September 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Immediately following the incident that took place in Iraq on 9th August 2009, in which two valued colleagues, Paul McGuigan and Darren Hoare, were shot and killed and another, Arkhan Mahdi, seriously injured, we instigated two separate internal investigations - this was is in addition to the ongoing investigation by the Iraqi authorities.
Our internal investigations have now been completed and a number of actions have resulted.
Until now, Daniel Fitzsimons, the man accused of the shootings, has been suspended from employment, pending the findings of the investigation. We can confirm that Mr Fitzsimons has now been dismissed from the company on the grounds of gross misconduct.
Although Mr Fitzsimons is no longer an employee of the company, we are doing what we can to ensure that his human rights are met whilst in Iraqi custody by providing him with food, water, clothing and toiletries.
Another employee has also been dismissed on the grounds of gross misconduct.
We have also carried out a detailed investigation into our screening policy and processes. We are unable to reveal the contents of Mr Fitzsimons' employment file for data protection reasons. However, we can confirm that in this particular case, there is evidence that Mr Fitzsimons falsified information during the recruitment process and that his screening was not completed in line with the company's procedures.
ArmorGroup has implemented additional checks to its processes as a result of this investigation with immediate effect to ensure that the appropriate screening is always completed before a person is employed.
Those responsible for ensuring the quality of employee screening have left the company, having resigned from their positions.
This is a tragic and unprecedented incident and our thoughts are with the families of those involved. We are doing everything we can to help them through this difficult time.

Japan's next PM picks Kamei as defence min - media

TOKYO, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Japan's next prime minister Yukio Hatoyama will appoint Shizuka Kamei, the head of a tiny ruling coalition partner, to the defence minister post in his new government, Japanese media reported on Tuesday. Kamei, the head of the conservative People's New Party and a former transport minister, is an advocate of a more equal relationship between Japan and its close security ally, the United States, echoing the stance of Hatoyama's Democratic Party.
Japanese media also said Mizuho Fukushima, head of the Social Democratic Party, would be given a portfolio in charge of consumer affairs and policies to boost the country's low birth rate. The Democrats need support from the two parties to pass laws smoothly. (Reporting by Yoko Nishikawa; Editing by Chris Gallagher)

The University of Rhode Island Gains Speed With Aruba 802.11n Wi-Fi

Legacy Fat AP Network Was Throttling IT Productivity and Network Performance
Aruba Networks, Inc. ~ September 15, 2009,
SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - 09/15/09) - Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARUN - News), a global leader in wireless LANs and secure mobility solutions, today announced that The University of Rhode Island (URI) is deploying an adaptive 802.11n Wi-Fi network throughout its 1,200 acre Kingston campus. Chartered in 1888 as the state's agricultural school, the university serves more than 14,500 undergraduate and 4,500 graduate students. The new high-speed network replaces an aging Cisco Fat AP deployment that required manual intervention by IT to resolve RF issues, was difficult to troubleshoot, and had limited intrusion detection and access control features. After evaluating single, multi-channel, and controller-less wireless LANs, Aruba was selected because its Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology delivered stellar RF performance, while its policy enforcement firewall and integrated wireless intrusion detection delivered highly granular control over access and security.
"Aruba was the only vendor to offer the triple-play we needed: adaptive RF management, integrated wireless intrusion detection, and a built-in firewall for role-based access control," said David S. Porter, the University of Rhode Island's Director of Media and Technology Services. "We have deployed the first 800 of what we expect to be a total of 1,500 802.11n access points, and ARM basically manages them for us by automatically addressing interference, 802.11b/g client conflicts, and other RF issues. That feature alone offered tremendous relief to our IT staff, who were freed to work on other projects."
ARM uses infrastructure-based controls to optimize the performance of Wi-Fi clients in real-time. Acting on their own, Wi-Fi clients do not always work cooperatively with other clients, or select the optimal band, channel, and access point. These issues are exacerbated in settings with densely packed users such as university classrooms, lecture halls and libraries. ARM uses a variety of techniques to control how Wi-Fi clients interact, thereby ensuring that data, voice, and video applications have sufficient network resources, including airtime, to operate properly.
"On the matter of security, we used to restrict access to the network using a very large access control list that was unwieldy to manage across independent access points," continued Porter. "Aruba provided a central management interface, with a single access control list, that is automatically pushed to every controller and access point. As with ARM, this feature significantly lowered IT staff workload. And it gave us much finer grained control over user access because we can now control by user, group, service, application, bandwidth consumption, among other parameters."
Identity-based security, Quality of Service control, and traffic management capabilities are provided by Aruba's policy-enforcement firewall network. The firewall classifies on the basis of user identity, device type, location, and time of day, and provides differentiated access for different classes of users. For example, voice traffic can be assigned a high priority and reserved bandwidth to ensure reliable delivery, while university guests might have limited available bandwidth and tight controls with respect to the sites and servers that can be accessed.
Additional information about Aruba's solutions for higher education can be found on-line at Aruba's Web site.

Next months to seal fate of Boeing C-17

* U.S. orders needed to keep line running
* 20-30 international orders possible
(Adds interview details, background, byline; previous dateline WASHINGTON)
By Andrea Shalal-Esa
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) (BA.N) said on Monday its C-17 transport plane program is at a critical juncture and the next months will determine the fate of the company's production line beyond July 2011. Barring further orders from the U.S. Air Force, the production line is facing a shutdown in July 2011, even though the company believes it could sell 20 to 30 aircraft overseas in coming years, said Tommy Dunehew, vice president of business development for the Boeing program.
"We need a U.S. line open and U.S. orders to keep the place open. International by itself doesn't do it," he told Reuters in an interview at the annual Air Force Association meeting.
Dunehew said the company was anxiously awaiting the outcome of House-Senate negotiations on the fiscal 2010 defense appropriations bill. The House added three aircraft to its bill, while the Senate added 10. "We'll make our decisions based on what comes out of that," he said.
Boeing has said it ideally needs about 15 aircraft orders to maintain an economically viable production line, but Dunehew said it would probably be able to continue building airplanes if the order was around 10 to 12, especially if there were some near-term certain foreign orders in the offing.
If Congress approved funding for two to three planes, then Boeing would likely add those orders to the end of the current production run, and move to shut down the line, Dunehew said. Each aircraft order extended the line for three weeks, so an order for three more planes would add nine weeks, he said.
The company had promising prospects for international sales and was in talks with several customers in the Middle East and elsewhere, he said, noting that Qatar had an option for two more planes, and Britain was expected to order two more.
Boeing was also closely watching developments in Europe, where the A400 military transport being developed by EADS (EAD.PA) has run into big delays, which could generate demand for C-17s until the European planes are available.
But foreign orders alone could not sustain the line, because they were too unpredictable and generally too small.
Shutting and restarting production would be prohibitively expensive, he said. Earlier estimates by the Government Accountability Office put the cost at around $2 billion.
"Right now we're in a critical stage of the program," Dunehew said, noting that Boeing was already using its own funds to maintain suppliers since the program has a two-year build cycle. "We have to look at the reality of our business situation over the next month or two."
The U.S. Air Force has said it does not want to buy any more C-17s beyond the ones already on order, but U.S. lawmakers have continued to earmark funding for dozens of planes in recent years to maintain jobs on the program.
A study of the Pentagon's mobility needs, due in December, could spawn further orders for the C-17, especially if the Air Force decided to retire 59 aging C-5A transport planes made by Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N), Dunehew said.
The Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review, which is due to wrap up this fall in time to inform the fiscal 2011 budget process, could also point to further C-17 orders.

Engine issue should not delay U.S. F-35 flight tests

* F-35 on track to meet cost and schedule targets
* Air Force official "not losing sleep" over engine issue
* Pratt says manufacturing defect possible
(Adds comments from Pratt official, byline)

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., Sept 14 (Reuters) - A problem with the F135 engine built by United Technologies Corp (UTX.N) for the F-35 fighter should not delay the program's flight test schedule, a senior program official said on Monday. Air Force Major General C.D. Moore, the program's deputy executive officer, told reporters on Monday that he remained confident that the $300 billion Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) program could meet its cost and schedule targets.
Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies unit, on Sunday said part of an F135 engine was damaged during testing on Friday, and work was underway to determine the cause.
Moore said he was optimistic about resolving the issue because an earlier version of the engine had already passed the certification testing. "I'm not losing sleep over it," he told Reuters after the news conference.
Moore declined comment when asked if the event could spur additional support for an alternate engine being developed by General Electric Co (GE.N) and Britain's Rolls-Royce Group PLC (RR.L), which the Obama administration has targeted for cuts.
The Pentagon has long advocated halting the alternate engine program -- which Congress initiated and has funded for years despite White House opposition -- and proceeding with a single engine. Many other weapons programs had been successful with one engine, he said.
But Moore conceded the timing of the engine incident was unfortunate. "This could be a nonissue, but it's the political implications that go with it," he said.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates last month threw his support behind the F-35 program and said the most high-risk issues facing the fighter were behind it, but congressional aides seized on the latest Pratt engine problem as evidence that more issues could arise.
Pratt already had to redesign part of the engine after a problem arose during testing in 2007, an effort that added hundreds of millions to program costs and delayed flight tests of the short takeoff, vertical landing (STOVL) variant.
Eric Branyan, Lockheed's deputy program manager for the F-35, said a first vertical landing by the short takeoff, vertical landing (STOVL) variant had slipped again to late October or early November. The test was initially scheduled for May, then slipped to September.
Moore said officials did not want to rush into the test.
A high-level Pentagon team visited the Pratt factory last week to study an expected surge in projected costs for the engine, but Pratt officials said the visit went well.
William Begert, vice president of business development for the company, said Pratt was working to lower longer-term costs through engineering and manufacturing improvements.
He said a big part of the $1.9 billion in the program's cost growth had been due to factors beyond Pratt's control, including foreign exchange fluctuations on the lift fan, which is produced by Rolls-Royce for both engine teams.
Several hundred million dollars more stemmed from engineering changes needed to add power to the engine after the airplane grew heavier, he said.
Begert said the engine damaged during test was arriving at another Pratt facility in Connecticut this week, and officials should have a good idea pretty quickly what went wrong.
He said he would be surprised if the problem turned out to be a design issue since an earlier version of the engine had passed testing and was now being used in flight tests. "This is unlike the third blade problem" of 2007, he said.
More likely, he said, it was a one-off manufacturing defect.
Lockheed is developing three radar-evading F-35 models to replace at least 13 types of aircraft for 11 nations initially. The United States plans to buy 2,443 F-35s for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, with purchases by eight partner nations to boost production to around 3,000.

Air France-KLM in talks to invest in JAL: source

NEW YORK (Reuters) September 14, 2009,- Air France-KLM (Paris:AIRF.PA - News) is in talks with Japan Airlines (Tokyo:9205.T - News) to form an alliance by injecting a few hundred million dollars and taking a minority stake in the struggling carrier, a source familiar with the matter said. Air France-KLM, Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL - News) and American Airlines (NYSE:AMR - News) are in separate "early stage" talks with Japan Airlines, said the source, who declined to be identified because the talks have not been made public.
The carriers are discussing an investment of $200 million to $300 million each, in exchange for a minority stake and a code-sharing relationship, but talks are fluid and the numbers could change every day, the source said.
The Japanese government prefers Delta Air Lines or Air France-KLM, which it views as financially healthier than American Airlines, the source said.
But JAL prefers American Airlines, with which it has an existing partnership through the Oneworld alliance, the source said. JAL and American have been code-sharing partners for a decade.
JAL, Asia's largest airline by revenue, lost about $1 billion last quarter and is under growing pressure to raise money and slash costs after securing a 100 billion yen ($1.1 billion) government-backed credit line earlier this year.
Japan's transport ministry regulates JAL and could play a key role in which airline is chosen as JAL's partner.

Boeing: no big changes to 767, 777 for US tanker

* No "Franken-tanker" this time - Boeing exec
* Boeing unsure whether 767 or 777 will be offered
* Air Force: No impact from WTO ruling
* Boeing determined to learn lessons from past bid
(Adds Boeing comments from interview)
By Andrea Shalal-Esa
NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) does not plan any major modifications to its 767 or larger 777 aircraft in competing for the U.S. Air Force's multibillion-dollar aerial tanker contract, a Boeing executive said on Monday. After Boeing's proposal was downgraded during the last competition for risk associated with planned modifications to its 767 aircraft, the company will not go that route again.
"We're not doing the Franken-tanker," said Rick Lemaster, Boeing program manager for the tanker project, using a word coined by critics who said Boeing's last bid was a horror made up of parts from different models of the 767.
Lemaster told reporters at the annual Air Force Association conference just outside Washington that his company is waiting to see the Air Force's final list of requirements for the tanker before deciding whether to bid its 767 or 777 model.
Boeing would not offer a plane with major modifications, regardless of which aircraft it decided upon. For example, Boeing will not offer to install a different wing for the tanker competition, Lemaster said.
U.S. Air Force Secretary Michael Donley said the service was close to releasing its draft request for proposals (RFP) in the tanker contest, which will pit Boeing against Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N) and its European partner, Airbus parent EADS (EAD.PA).
Donley said the Air Force sees no need to add specific language to the RFP document as a result of a World Trade Organization ruling this month which found Airbus benefited from some illegal subsidies. Boeing supporters argue that the WTO decision should be factored into the tanker competition.
Donley said the WTO decision was preliminary, and would be followed by another case, brought by the European Union, which charged Boeing also benefited from illegal subsidies. "We see no need to make immediate adjustments in the RFP," he said.
LESSONS LEARNED
Boeing is determined to learn lessons from its failed bid in the last competition for a $35 billion deal to build some 179 tankers needed by the Air Force for mid-air refueling, Lemaster said. The winning bid chosen that time -- and later canceled -- was from Northrop and EADS.
Boeing, in that competition, offered a modified 767 aircraft because it was convinced the Air Force did not want a bigger aircraft like the 777.
Lemaster said Boeing had gained experience building 767 tankers for Italy and Japan over the past four to five years, and was confident the company could adapt its refueling technologies to the larger 777, if that aircraft appeared to better meet the Air Force's requirements.
"What we propose to the Air Force will be a low-risk solution," he said.
Lemaster rejected a suggestion that Boeing would offer the Air Force a less capable tanker than before. "This is not a dumbed-down tanker," he told Reuters in a later interview.
Lemaster said the Air Force had tested the Boeing tanker on behalf of the Italian government, and the Navy was due to carry out a similar "military utility observation" soon.
Boeing has built three tankers for Italy and is finishing work on a fourth. The company is waiting for final certification of the aircraft, which would pave the way for the Italian government to begin its acceptance process.
Boeing has delivered three tankers to Japan, and those have been in operational use since April. A fourth tanker is due to be delivered by the end of the year or early next.
Lemaster said Boeing would also put a bigger emphasis on affordability this time since the Northrop aircraft was judged to have a lower life cycle cost in the last competition.
"We're determined not to let that be a lesson that we didn't learn," Lemaster said.
Lemaster said Boeing expected the draft rules to be released later this month, followed by final rules in the following months, with a deadline for submissions by the companies in January and a contract award next summer.
He said the company had not yet decided which engine would power its 777 offering, but was in discussions with all three approved manufacturers: General Electric (GE.N), United Technologies Corp's (UTX.N) Pratt & Whitney unit, and Britain's Rolls-Royce Group PLC (RR.L).
Boeing shares closed 38 cents lower at $50.97 on Monday.

Scandal spurs US review of embassy contractors

WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department will review its use of private contractors at overseas embassies after a scandal over sexual hazing by security guards at the U.S. embassy in Kabul, an official said on Monday.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked both the State Department and USAID, the government's foreign assistance arm, to take an "across the board" look at how contractors are used and prepare to do more of the jobs themselves, department spokesman Ian Kelly said.
"She has made it a priority to build up the capacities of both agencies to, when appropriate, take on tasks that are now being outsourced," Kelly told a news briefing, adding that the review would be part of a larger, four-year assessment of diplomatic strategies and operations.
Kelly said 12 embassy guards had been removed or resigned following the scandal. The entire senior Kabul management team of the contractor, Virginia-based ArmorGroup, has been replaced and alcohol has been banned at the group's camp, Kelly said.
A watchdog report this month accused ArmorGroup of jeopardizing security at the embassy by understaffing the facility and ignoring lewd, drunken conduct and sexual hazing by some guards -- and provided graphic photos as evidence.
ArmorGroup North America, now owned by Florida-based Wackenhut Services, was also hit by a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that said it had ignored brothel visits by guardsmen and other misconduct because of what a lawyer said was a "myopic preoccupation with profit" in its five-year, $187 million contract with the State Department.
The State Department extended ArmorGroup's contract for another year in June despite citing the firm three months earlier for letting 18 guardposts go unstaffed for 30 hours and other shortcomings.
Kelly said State Department believed the safety of embassy staff was never in jeopardy. "Despite the administrative deficiencies discussed with the contractor, the department did not observe any breaches of security of the mission in Kabul," he said."

• improved operational reliability (i.e. less corrective maintenance)
• consistent insulation performance (i.e. water reduces insulation performance),
Further, the aircraft residual value will be protected or even improved due to reduced corrosive impact over the years. Reduced fuel burn (due to lowered aircraft weight) also has a positive impact on the environment.
CTT’s Zonal Drying™ System has been selected as basic equipment for the new B787 “Dreamliner” and CTT’s humidifiers are options in crew rest compartments and on flight deck. The A380 offers CTT’s humidifiers as option in crew rest compartments. CTT will also supply the Zonal Drying™ system and Humidifiers for the A350 aircraft, as options.
