Successful First Flight for Lockheed Martin's New HELLFIRE II Missile Design

Lockheed Martin ~ October 26, 2009
ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin's (NYSE: LMT - News) new multi-functional AGM-114R HELLFIRE II missile scored a direct hit during its first proof-of-principle (POP) flight test recently at Eglin Air Force Base, FL. The HELLFIRE II design, now entering the qualification phase, features a new multi-purpose warhead that enables a single missile to cover all of the target sets of the current laser-guided HELLFIRE II variants. The POP 1 flight test featured a lock-on-before-launch engagement of a stationary target board at 3.2 miles (5.1 km). The team used a ground-based laser designator to illuminate the target. The inert missile, which was ground-launched, was equipped with an enhanced telemetry package. In addition to proving out the new components and software, the flight also verified backward compatibility with HELLFIRE II platforms that cannot provide targeting information to the missile.
"The multi-functional HELLFIRE II missile is one missile for many missions," said Ken Musculus, director of Air-to-Ground Missile Systems Programs at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "Its multi-functional warhead enables the AGM-114R to neutralize a broad set of targets previously covered by four different warhead models - everything from armor and air defense systems to patrol boats and enemy combatants in SUVs or caves. Warfighters won't have to decide ahead of time what they might encounter and load the appropriate combination of missiles; with the multi-functional HELLFIRE II, they can meet many contingencies with a single missile."
Prior to the first POP flight test, Lockheed Martin completed a battery of warhead tests, including 10 precursor warhead tests, four main warhead tests and five tests of tandem warheads within the HELLFIRE guidance section. The next two POP flight tests, scheduled for early next year, will feature live warheads.
"This new HELLFIRE II can be fired from both rotary-wing and unmanned platforms," Musculus said. "A new inertial measurement unit enables properly equipped platforms to launch missiles at targets behind them without first having to turn the aircraft around. Getting the missile on target that much quicker gives the enemy less time to react or escape."
Musculus said many of the new improvements are software-driven. "We've replaced a host of circuit boards, transistors and other hardware components with software," he added. "Turning hardware into software contributes to the modular design of the missile and offers an efficient path to future upgrades."
With more than 25,000 rounds produced for the U.S. and 14 international customers, HELLFIRE II has been successfully integrated with attack helicopters in the U.S. and many Allied fleets. It is also capable of surface launch from ground vehicles, tripods and small vessels. More than 10,000 HELLFIRE missiles have been successfully fired in combat.
Lockheed Martin performs all work on behalf of the HELLFIRE Systems, Limited Liability Company and will produce the missiles at its manufacturing facilities in Troy, AL, and Ocala, FL.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2008 sales of $42.7 billion.

F-35 Brings Unique 5th Generation Capabilities

Lockheed Martin ~ October 23, 2009
SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT - News) F-35 Lightning II program is the only fighter program delivering 5th generation capabilities internationally, a Lockheed Martin executive said Tuesday at the Seoul Air Show. "The F-35's 5th generation capabilities, including Very Low Observable stealth, integrated sensor fusion, net-enabled operations and advanced sustainment, make it the premiere fighter of the future," said Stephen O'Bryan, vice president of F-35 Business Development and Customer Engagement. "The F-35 is the only multi-role fighter designed for survivability in the highest-threat environments, and it provides superior capability at comparable 4th generation fighter costs."
The theme of O'Bryan's presentation, "Global Partners Building Global Security," reflects the high level of international participation and cooperation on the Joint Strike Fighter program. The F-35 will replace more than 13 aircraft types and enable allies to conduct seamless, integrated operations. Throughout its lifecycle, the F-35 will create enduring industrial relationships, from the production and global delivery systems to worldwide operation and support via Autonomic Logistics Global Sustainment (ALGS).
F-35 ALGS, developed in parallel with the aircraft and its systems, defines the F-35's total life-cycle sustainment system. In combination with the F-35's high level of reliability, ALGS is designed to reduce support costs significantly over the aircraft types it will replace. This embedded aircraft support system simplifies and streamlines maintenance, providing prognostics and health management to keep the aircraft mission-ready, using a worldwide support network and infrastructure. Recently, the F-35 Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) began monitoring BF-1, the first short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft, from the Lockheed Martin F-35 Sustainment Operations Center in Fort Worth, Texas. BF-1 is the first F-35 supported solely by ALIS.
The F-35 Lightning II is a 5th generation fighter, combining advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations, and lower operational and support costs. Lockheed Martin is developing the F-35 with its principal industrial partners, Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. Two separate, interchangeable F-35 engines are under development: the Pratt & Whitney F135 and the GE Rolls-Royce Fighter Engine Team F136.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services.

Boeing refused to release tanker pricing -Pentagon

* Pentagon says Northrop not harmed by data release
* Says different pricing required for new competition
By Andrea Shalal-Esa
WASHINGTON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Boeing declined a Pentagon request to release Boeing's pricing information from the last aerial tanker competition after Northrop raised concerns that it was disadvantaged by the Air Force's release of Northrop's pricing data to Boeing, according to a Pentagon letter.
Pentagon General Counsel Jeh Johnson told Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N) in a letter dated Sept. 23, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, that defense officials did not believe the company was competitively harmed by Boeing Co's (BA.N) knowledge of "some of the prior pricing" and remained convinced that "the integrity of the procurement process will be maintained without the release of additional pricing information."
But Johnson said the Pentagon "actually sought Boeing's permission to release this information, and Boeing declined," according to the letter.
Analysts say the dispute over the release of Northrop pricing information could provide the basis for a future legal protest by the company. That could further delay a weapons program that Air Force officials call a top priority.
One source familiar with the letter, who was not authorized to speak on the record, said Boeing's refusal to release the information was telling. "It must be important if they don't want to release it," said the source.
Northrop declined comment on the letter, saying it did not discuss correspondence sent to or received from its customers.
Boeing could not be immediately reached for comment.
Northrop and its European partner, EADS (EAD.PA), say they are concerned about the Air Force's disclosure of pricing data to Boeing when Northrop and EADS won a potential $35 billion contract for new refueling tankers in February 2008. That deal was later canceled.
The Pentagon canceled Northrop's contract one year ago after government auditors upheld a Boeing protest. The Air Force released rules for a new competition between the two teams last month.
In his letter, Johnson told Northrop that the key terms of the solicitation had changed dramatically since the last competition, which would necessitate "dramatically different pricing proposals and strategies" anyway.
He said the Air Force provided both companies with "substantially identical information" regarding its competitor's evaluation prices, but acknowledged that the Air Force gave Boeing "some additional limited information concerning Northrop Grumman's proposed prices under the now canceled prior contract."
However, he said those "dollar amounts are of questionable value since Boeing is unaware of the extent to which the dollar figures provided were rounded up or down, and/or were truncated by hundreds of millions of dollars."
In addition, he said, Boeing did not know whether the disclosed dollar amounts represented all or only some of the line items associated with various contract phases.
"It is the case that Boeing would be at significant risk if it tried to recreate Northrop Grumman's actual contract line item dollar amounts proposed under the canceled procurement, based on the information provided," Johnson said.
"Any attempt by Boeing to estimate this would likely be inaccurate by tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, which could easily cover the cost of one or more of the aircraft."
Johnson said that the pricing would probably be long overtaken anyway by the time that new proposals were submitted for the acquisition since close to two years would have passed since the pricing information at issue was submitted.
"During that time, economic conditions of the commercial aircraft market have changed, and the individual postures of both Northrop Grumman and Boeing have undoubtedly changed," he added. (Reporting by Andrea Shalal-Esa; Editing by Phil Berlowitz)

MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON - News) today announced third quarter 2009 sales of $7.7 billion, in line with expectations, versus $9.3 billion in the third quarter last year. Earnings were $0.80 per share compared to $0.97 per share in the third quarter of 2008. Third quarter 2009 EPS included the positive impact of lower than expected tax expense in the quarter of approximately $0.04, which the company expects to be offset on a full-year basis by a higher income tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2009. Cash flow from operations was $1,148 million versus $769 million last year, and free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $1,022 million versus $556 million in the third quarter of 2008.

"Honeywell is positioning its businesses for long-term growth by continuing to invest in new products and services, geographic expansion, and key process initiatives," said Honeywell Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dave Cote. "We executed well in the third quarter with sales on track and better than expected earnings and free cash flow performance. We're particularly pleased with our free cash flow performance year-to-date, which reflects our strong operating disciplines and working capital controls. These results reflect the impact of the growth investments and productivity actions we have taken in the midst of tough market conditions."

"Our employees have responded remarkably in support of both our growth initiatives and productivity actions," continued Cote. "Their contributions have enabled us to meet our performance objectives despite ongoing volume headwinds. By preserving our industrial base and continuing to build a robust pipeline of differentiated technologies and new products for the global marketplace, we're confident Honeywell will emerge from this period a much stronger company, ready to grow and build on our great positions in good industries."

Honeywell forecasts 2009 sales of approximately $31 billion, earnings per share of $2.85 and free cash flow of $3 billion.

Segment Highlights

Aerospace


•Sales were down 16% compared with the third quarter of 2008, resulting from lower volumes in Commercial Aerospace, partially offset by higher sales of original equipment for military platforms, logistics services and advanced aircraft modifications, and upgrades.
•Segment profit was down 12%, primarily due to volume declines, however segment margin increased 80 bps to 17.4% driven by cost savings initiatives and benefits from prior repositioning actions.
•Honeywell SmartPath(TM) Precision Landing System received FAA System Design Approval, making it the first ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) to receive this distinction. SmartPath provides differential Global Positioning System (GPS) corrections to replace or supplement older landing system technology such as Instrument Landing System (ILS), enabling more precision, more flight path flexibility, and more airport throughput.
•Honeywell signed a $77 million contract with AWAS, one of the world's leading aircraft leasing companies, to provide safety and navigational avionics and its fuel-efficient Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). The advanced avionics include IntuVue(TM), Honeywell's 3-D weather radar that allows pilots to better see and avoid weather, wind shear and turbulence, ensuring a safer and more comfortable ride for passengers, as well as cost savings for the airlines.
•Honeywell won a $185 million contract with the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense to provide T55-L-714A engines and spares to retrofit their fleet of Chinook helicopters. The T55-L-714A engine increases power by 17%, increases maintenance intervals and reduces fuel consumption by nearly 5%.

Automation and Control Solutions


•Sales were down 14%, compared with the third quarter of 2008, resulting from slower economic growth and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by continued growth in emerging regions, new product introductions, and the net favorable impact from acquisitions and divestitures.
•Segment profit was flat due to lower sales, while segment margin increased 180 bps to 13.5% driven by cost savings initiatives and benefits from prior repositioning actions.
•Building Solutions completed one of the largest solar projects for the Army at Fort Dix, N.J., part of an energy savings performance contract (ESPC) valued at $17.6 million. The ESPC will decrease energy consumption at the post by almost 10% annually.
•Building Solutions signed a $33.6 million, 20-year energy efficiency and facility renewal program with the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA). The program will help MPHA improve its infrastructure and reduce energy consumption, saving more than $3.7 million in utility costs per year. The program, which will impact more than 40 high-rise buildings and 700 single-family residences across the city, is one of the largest projects of its kind.
•Process Solutions was selected to automate Flambeau River Biofuels, the largest green diesel plant in the United States. Honeywell will provide the Park Falls, Wisconsin plant with a fully-integrated system to help produce 18 million gallons of green diesel annually from wood waste and forest residue.
•Honeywell Life Safety received a $3.5 million order from Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a U.S. Department of Energy facility, for respiratory protection products.

Transportation Systems


•Sales were down 24% compared with the third quarter of 2008 due to lower volumes primarily driven by lower sales to global automotive OE customers and the negative impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by new platform launches with automotive OE customers and share gains in the automotive aftermarket retail channel.
•Segment profit was down 39% and segment margin decreased 170 bps to 7.1% due to lower sales volumes partially offset by cost savings initiatives and benefits from prior restructuring actions.
•Turbo Technologies was awarded contracts estimated at more than $370 million in revenue over the life of these programs. The contracts, which include critical platform wins with key customers in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. on both gasoline and diesel passenger and commercial vehicle applications, are expected to begin in 2011. Independent analysts expect turbo penetration to grow from 24% of all light vehicles today to around 70% by 2020, and predict rapid turbo adoption in the U.S. reaching close to 25% of the total light vehicle sales in the next five years.
•Honeywell launched its gasoline turbocharging technology on BMW's new ActiveHybrid engine intended for its 7-series and X6 vehicles. This 4.4L, V8 engine combines a hybrid transmission with an advanced gasoline turbocharged engine to deliver 407 hp and provide best-in-class fuel consumption and emissions in this vehicle category.

Specialty Materials


•Sales were down 23% compared with the third quarter of 2008, resulting from lower volumes and the unfavorable impact of pass through raw material price declines at our Resins and Chemicals business, partially offset by higher petrochemical catalyst sales and traction on green initiatives at UOP.
•Segment profit was down 2%, primarily due to volume declines, however segment margin increased 330 bps to 15.2% due to the positive impact of lower material costs and cost savings initiatives.
•UOP announced that its green jet fuel process technology will be used to produce nearly 600,000 gallons of green jet fuel, made from sustainable, non-food feedstocks including animal fats, algae, and camelina, for the U.S. Navy and Air Force. This is part of a joint program for the U.S. Defense Energy Support Center for alternative fuels testing and certification.
•Electronic Materials announced the launch of SOLARC, a new anti-reflective coating that improves the efficiency and power output of photovoltaic panels. This new product uses materials originally developed for semiconductor manufacturing to improve the light transmittance through the glass that covers photovoltaic panels.

We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities, less
cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

We believe that this metric is useful to investors and management as a
measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to
repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth
through new business development activities or acquisitions, and to pay
dividends, repurchase stock, or repay debt obligations prior to their
maturities. This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to
generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash
flow has on our liquidity.

mySBX Launches Web-Based Tool for Government Contractors to Manage GWAC Contracts

mySBX ~ October 23, 2009
RESTON, VA--(Marketwire - 10/23/09) - mySBX today launched mySBX Contracts Suite -- a powerful Web-based tool that enables government contractors to find qualified partners, form contract teams and create winning bids on GWAC and IDIQ task orders -- all from their own dedicated Web portal.
mySBX launched as the first online business collaboration and resource planning network for government contractors, and approximately 7,000 contractors and 10,000 professionals rely on mySBX to secure new business, get idle consultants billable and become more discoverable to potential customers and partners. mySBX Contracts Suite was developed specifically to provide large contractors with complete visibility into the process of tracking, managing, distributing and reporting on their task orders and solicitations under consideration.
"For government contractors, the days of trying to manage task orders and contract vehicles by emails and spreadsheets are over," said Jeff White, CEO and co-founder of mySBX. "By eliminating built-in inefficiencies that slow down the task order management process, businesses can spend less time trying to administer contracts, and more time winning them."
From a customized Center of Excellence Web page, a contractor can track responses from its GWAC/IDIQ business development and business capture managers to quickly assess whether task order requirements can be met internally; then, contractors can make the portal externally accessible to identify and manage teaming partners with needed qualifications.
In addition, mySBX Contracts Suite arms contractors with the ability to:
-- Manage GWAC vehicles (Alliant, ENCORE II, SeaPort-e, DHS EAGLE, etc.), contract pipelines and small business teaming opportunities from a single, customized Web portal.
-- Track small business qualifications in real time in order to quickly identify contract needs, form teams and win business.
-- Report all task order responses from small businesses to significantly enhance auditing requirements and diversity accountability.
-- Distribute requests for information to internal divisions and have real-time visibility into staff responses for each contract task order.
mySBX Contracts Suite is one of five enterprise-grade Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions enabling government contractors to grow their business and streamline operations for government contract management, business development and capture, supplier management and teaming.

Defense Solutions Holding, Inc. ~ October 23, 2009
EXTON, Pa., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Defense Solutions Holding, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DFSH - News), announced today that it entered agreements to represent one American-owned refinery group (3 refineries) and two Asian refinery groups (4 refineries) to secure oil contracts in Iraq.
"Iraq needs qualified customers for its oil," stated Colonel (Ret) Timothy Ringgold, CEO of DFSH. "Our American and Iraqi staff in Baghdad and our American and Iraqi staff in the United States are now in a position to meet the needs of Iraq's Ministry of Oil."

"As one of very few American firms licensed to conduct business in Iraq, Defense Solutions is positioned to facilitate crude oil contracts for the seven refineries we are now representing," Ringgold added. "Iraq produces approximately 2 million barrels of oil a day and holds proven reserves of approximately 115 billion barrels, which are relatively accessible and economical to tap. Ending its 40 year seclusion from the rest of the world, Iraq now aims to develop what is considered the world's second largest oil reserves."

Boeing submits bids for $2bln India defence projects

"NEW DELHI, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) has submitted two proposals to the Indian Air Force, offering the AH-64D Apache and the CH-47F Chinook in a deal potentially worth $2 billion, Boeing's country head and Indian officials said on Friday.
India invited bids in May for 22 attack helicopters and at least 15 heavy-lift helicopters as it plans to replace its ageing Soviet-era fleet with modern weapon systems.
'The Apache will be a capable and lethal defender of India's troops and assets, while the Chinook will answer many of the country's military and humanitarian needs,' Vivek Lall, vice president and India country head for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems, said on Friday.
'We have no idea of the timeline and how long will it take as we have just submitted our proposals,' Lall told Reuters.
The company has already signed a $2.1 billion contract for supplying eight P-8I warfare planes to the Indian Navy.
The Indian government says it will prioritise defence and push forward pending projects to modernise its armed forces especially after the Mumbai attacks in November revealed security loopholes.
It is looking to spend more than $30 billion over the next five years to modernise its defence systems. (Editing by Nick Macfie)"

Northrop Grumman Begins Full Rate Production of New Radar for B-2 Bomber

Northrop Grumman Corp. ~ October 21, 2009
PALMDALE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The nation's fleet of B-2 stealth bombers will all receive a new Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC - News)-developed radar system following the U.S. Air Force's decision to authorize full-rate production of the units by the company's Radar Modernization Program (RMP).
The decision, made Oct. 16 by the assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition (acting), allows Northrop Grumman to begin fabrication of the balance of radar units needed to outfit the entire fleet. Those units will be produced as the final installment of the $468 million RMP contract awarded to the company by the Air Force in Dec. 2008.
Northrop Grumman is the Air Force's prime contractor for the B-2, the flagship of the nation's long range arsenal, and one of the most survivable aircraft in the world.
"Putting this new radar on America's flight line helps ensure that the B-2 fleet is ready day or night to protect the nation's interests worldwide," said Dave Mazur, vice president and B-2 program manager for Northrop Grumman. "The new radar also makes it easier for our modernization team to add additional mission capabilities to the jet in the future."
Northrop Grumman is currently producing radar units authorized under the RMP low rate initial production program, added Mazur. The company is also installing radar units in operational B-2s as part of the RMP system development and demonstration phase.
The B-2 radar modernization program replaces the aircraft's original radar system with one that incorporates technology improvements that have occurred since the B-2 was originally designed in the early 1980s.
Raytheon Space & Airborne Systems, El Segundo, Calif. developed the new radar hardware under contract to Northrop Grumman. The units include a new advanced electronically scanned array antenna, a power supply and a modified receiver/exciter.
The B-2 is the only U.S. aircraft that combines stealth, long range, large payload and precision weapons in a single platform. In concert with the Air Force's air superiority fleet, which provides airspace control, and the Air Force's tanker fleet, which enables global mobility, the B-2 helps ensure an effective U.S. response to threats anywhere in the world. It can fly more than 6,000 nautical miles unrefueled and more than 10,000 nautical miles with just one aerial refueling, giving it the ability to reach any point on the globe within hours.
The 20-aircraft fleet of B-2s is operated by the 509th Bomb Wing from its headquarters at Whiteman AFB, Mo.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is a leading global security company whose 120,000 employees provide innovative systems, products, and solutions in aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical services to government and commercial customers worldwide.

ATK Propulsion and Composite Technologies Key to Successful Delta II Launch

ATK Supports Launch of DigitalGlobe WorldView-2 SatelliteATK Propellant Tank Helps Power WorldView-2 Satellite
ATK ~ October 9, 2009
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alliant Techsystems (NYSE: ATK - News) played a key role in the successful launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket for The Boeing Company today from Space Launch Complex 2W at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., carrying DigitalGlobe's WorldView-2 commercial satellite.
Nine ATK GEM-40 solid propulsion strap-on boosters provided augmented thrust for the launch. Six of the boosters ignited at lift-off with the first-stage main engine and provided over 824,000 pounds maximum thrust for the launch vehicle. Just over one minute later, the remaining three boosters ignited to provide an additional 427,000 pounds maximum thrust. The spent motors were then jettisoned from the rocket as it continued its ascent.
ATK manufactured the GEM-40 motors at its facility in Magna, Utah, continuing a tradition of flight support for Delta II missions that began in 1990. The composite cases for the GEM-40 boosters were produced at ATK's Clearfield, Utah, facility and are made of graphite epoxy material using an automated filament winding process the company developed and refined through its 50-year heritage in composite manufacturing.
The 10-foot diameter composite payload fairing, encapsulating the payload, was fabricated by ATK's Iuka, Mississippi facility. The fairing was produced using advanced composite hand layup manufacturing, machining, and inspection techniques. This was the 18th ATK-built fairing flown on a Delta II mission.
In addition to hardware on the launch vehicle, ATK provided hardware for the satellite. ATK's facility in Commerce, Calif., supplied an off-the-shelf 40-inch diameter propellant tank to Ball Aerospace for the WorldView-2 program. The propellant tank contains an elastomeric diaphragm which will provide active propellant management throughout the mission.
WorldView-2 is the first high-resolution, 8-band multispectral satellite commercially available. Along with the four typical multispectral bands - blue, green, red and near infrared - WorldView-2 is introducing the following new color bands for enhanced multispectral analysis: red edge, coastal, yellow and near infrared 2. Operating at an altitude of 770 kilometers, WorldView-2 will provide half-meter panchromatic resolution and 1.8-meter multispectral resolution. WorldView-2 will have an average revisit time of 1.1 days and will be capable of collection up to 975,000 square kilometers (376,000 square miles) per day, doubling the DigitalGlobe collection capacity.
ATK is a premier aerospace and defense company with more than 18,000 employees in 22 states, Puerto Rico and internationally, and revenues of approximately $4.8 billion. News and information can be found on the Internet at www.atk.com.

Mikros Systems Corporation ~ October 9, 2009
PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mikros Systems Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: MKRS - News), announced today the award of a $570,000 contract for support of the U.S. Navy's Above Water Radar Group. The contract was awarded by Technology Service Corporation (TSC), headquartered in Silver Spring, MD, for work that will be performed over the next six months.
TSC provides engineering and services support to U.S. Government programs, including the U.S. Navy's Aegis Combat System. "We are very pleased to be partnering with TSC on this important project," stated Tom Meaney, President of Mikros. "Our capabilities in electronic systems development and distance support blend well with TSC's radar and sensor engineering expertise."
Mikros will provide project management and engineering assistance on various projects, including support for new acquisition radar programs. This contract also provides for continuation of pre-production engineering tasks in support of the Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic Portable Testset (ADEPT).
ADEPT, developed by Mikros, is a configurable, modular test set that automates and accelerates a range of preventive and corrective maintenance activities for complex radar and electronic equipment. ADEPT also provides advanced distance support capabilities by allowing subject matter experts based onshore to collaborate in real-time with technicians aboard the ship. ADEPT has been designed to improve mission readiness and performance of complex shipboard electronic equipment and is especially applicable to the highly capable Aegis Combat System found on U.S. and International Cruisers and Destroyers.
Mikros has been anticipating an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract award for ADEPT. Although delays in the Government contracting process have been experienced, award is still expected by year end. This contract is expected to include orders for the immediate delivery of 15 ADEPT systems. "We are working with the Government very closely and are at the final stages of the contracting process," stated Marc Dalby, Vice-President, Business Development and Operations. "We also expect additional task and delivery orders for engineering support and up to 30 ADEPT systems could be awarded within six months of the initial award."

Meyer provided valuable leadership and guidance to Mikros by serving as Director and Chairman of the Mikros Board of Directors since 1988. He is widely regarded as the "Father of Aegis" for his 13 years of service as the Aegis Weapon System Manager and later, the founding project manager of the Aegis Shipbuilding Project Office. Tom Meaney stated, "The DDG-108 Wayne E. Meyer is the most advanced surface combatant in the world, and knowing ADEPT will be onboard to help maintain the SPY-1 radar is very rewarding."

Northrop Grumman-built LCROSS Satellite Impacts Moon

Northrop Grumman Corp. ~ October 9, 2009
REDONDO BEACH, Calif., Oct. 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Astronomers and space enthusiasts worldwide cheered as the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) successfully impacted the moon's Cabeus crater this morning at 4:31 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. LCROSS was built and integrated by Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC - News) under contract to NASA Ames Research Center. The dramatic impact represents the end of a 112-day mission to find water ice on the moon that could serve as a resource for future lunar outposts. According to NASA, the debris cloud created by LCROSS' impact produced good telemetry and was recorded by space and ground-based observatories. NASA will gather and analyze impact data from professional and amateur astronomers worldwide over the next several months to determine if water ice is present.
"The success of this mission is a tribute to the tremendous engineering skills and partnership between Northrop Grumman and NASA Ames Research Center," said Steve Hixson, vice president of Advanced Concepts-Space and Directed Energy Systems for Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "We believe LCROSS will open the doors to new research and exploration missions based on the LCROSS model."
Built on a tight budget and schedule, LCROSS uses a standardized structural element; commercial-off-the-shelf hardware, sensors and components; flight-proven payload instruments and sophisticated risk management. The spacecraft was ready for delivery in just 29 months for a total mission cost of $79 million.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is a leading global security company whose 120,000 employees provide innovative systems, products, and solutions in aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical services to government and commercial customers worldwide.
