employing VLS. The sea-launched
Navy Tactical Missile System is now in
development. Vought Systems also
introduced a new lightweight launcher
for the PAC-3 Missile system in 1996,
and is developing the PAC-3 Missile for
the U.S. Army under a $700 million
contract. Initial fielding of the missile is
planned for 1999.
Lockheed Martin's broad experi-
ence in helicopter avionics and
platform integration is demonstrated in
the success of the British Royal Navy's
EH101 Merlin program. In 1996, the
U.K. Ministry of Defence selected
Lockheed Martin Aerospace Systems
Integration Corp. (ASIC) to provide
spare parts and repair services for the
Merlin fleet. Lockheed Martin Federal
Systems in Owego, NY, through its
U.K. subsidiary ASIC, leads an interna-
tional team and is responsible for
delivering 44 Merlin weapon systems
with advanced mission avionics for
anti-submarine and anti-surface ship
warfare capability by 2001.
The Merlin and the U.S. Navy Light
Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS)
helicopter programs mark Federal
Systems as a premier platform integrator.
Through its U.K. company, Lockheed
Martin Tactical Systems U.K. Ltd.,
Federal Systems in Owego is pursuing an
advanced airborne surveillance system
for the Ministry of Defence called ASTOR.
Federal Systems also will modernize
the combat support systems at 93 Air
Force bases worldwide under a program
with a potential value of more than $900
million. The Global Combat Support
System will use commercial off-the-shelf
software as part of the solution to
modernize the service's information
systems infrastructure.
Testing is underway on software
applications being developed by Federal
Systems to modernize the information
systems on U.S. Army bases. The goal of
the Sustaining Base Information Services
(SBIS) contract is to improve such func-
tions as safety, security, finance, personnel
and training. Software code development
to date has been produced at less than half
the standard industry cost. In November,
one application of the software, to
support training and exercise missions,
was installed at Fort Knox, KY, and
Fort Drum, NY.
Ocean, Radar & Sensor Systems
won strategic contracts to develop the U.S.
Navy's surface ship minehunting capability,
next-generation surface ship sonar and
next-generation remote minehunting
reconnaissance for submarines. The
The U.K. Merlin
Helicopter is a premier
anti-submarine and
anti-surface ship
platform. Lockheed
Martin's systems
integration gives
Merlin its all-weather,
high-performance
capabilities.
