Lockheed Martin Awarded U.S. Navy F/A~18E/F IRST(TM) Sensor System EMD Contract, Florida

Lockheed Martin Jobs

ORLANDO, FL /PRNewswire/ ~ Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) received a contract to complete the development of the Infrared Search and Track (IRSTO) sensor system for the U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F, marking the start of the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development phase of the program.

“IRST is a game-changer for air-to-air combat, providing a ‘first to see, first to strike’ capability,” said Paul Hey, IRST senior program manager in Lockheed Martin’s Missiles and Fire Control business. “IRST works with the aircraft’s radar to enhance the overall weapon system performance~even in a jamming environment~allowing the warfighter to engage threats with a high probability of success.”

Lockheed Martin’s IRST sensor system improves aircrews’ situational awareness, lethality and survivability, even in threat-intensive environments. The IRST is a passive, long-range sensor that simultaneously tracks multiple targets over a large area and is unaffected by electronic attack or radar jamming. The F/A-18E/F IRST is scheduled to achieve Initial Operating Capability in 2016.

The IRST system’s high-angle accuracy also provides the ability to track closely-spaced targets at maximum ranges. This information can be combined with other on-board sensor data or used alone to further enhance the pilot’s situational awareness.

This advanced IRST sensor system builds on Lockheed Martin’s mature and proven IRST technology, which was carrier-deployed on the legacy F-14D platform. With an active IRST production line delivering units to equip international variants of the F-15, Lockheed Martin is currently subcontracted to the Boeing Company to develop an IRST capability for the U.S. Air Force F-15C.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 126,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation’s 2010 sales from continuing operations were $45.8 billion.

    FYI Tidbits // New Navy budgets may sink plans for aircraft carriers

    On the surface, the Navy’s cherished fleet of 11 active aircraft carriers seems safe from President Obama’s budget slashers. Conventional wisdom says the requirement to cut $488 billion from the Pentagon within 10 years will not necessitate banishing a single carrier because the president’s military strategy focuses on two carrier-dependent regions. While the fiscal 2013 budget may well continue 11 carriers, the Navy will be down to 10 or even nine carriers within in the next five years.

    Dear Virginia ~ Christmas is over. Santa is coming to repossess some goodies.

    Future // Prepare NOW if in the mid-Atlantic region.

    As a Virginian and as a defense industry specialist, am very concerned about the impact of Congress not passing balanced budgets or able to get its (our) financial house in order.

    The failure of the Super Committee to reach agreement means that there will be mandatory budgetary cuts in defense spending beginning in FY2013, thus personnel cuts, per a study done by Stephen S. Fuller, Ph.D., of George Mason University for the aerospace industry.

    FY2013 budget cuts being October 2012, just barely 10 months from now.

    Virginia – we are at greatest risk in the country. Industry studies guesstimate that 123,000 Virginia jobs will be lost directly due to these cuts. Yet the impact will be much larger as Virginia and our neighboring states make up almost 20% of total cuts: 209,724 jobs are on the chopping block.

    To put things into perspective, Baltimore is closer to Prince William County, Virginia (the southern edge of northern Virginia) than is Richmond our capital (52 vs 88 miles).

    Most Maryland military bases are between Baltimore and the Virginia line.

    Defense jobs at risk in the mid-Atlantic region due to mandatory defense cuts: 209,724

  • Delaware 662
  • District of Columbia 14,129
  • Maryland 36,227
  • New Jersey 23,870
  • North Carolina 11,019
  • Virginia 122,770
  • West Virginia 1,047
  • Many of the jobs in those neighboring states are filled by Virginians, and vice versa to some degree.

    New Jersey does not border Virginia but it has a major impact on the function of many Maryland bases (such as Fort Meade) which in turn has major impact on many of the military functions and funding in Virginia ~ Fort Meade is home to the NSA, America’s largest intelligence agency and a major driver of the Virginia economy.

    Major Marine Military Equipment Expo Set for February 1 ~ 2 at Camp Pendleton, CA

    SAN DIEGO, CA /PRNewswire/ ~ The 2012 edition of Marine West, one of the nation’s most comprehensive military equipment expositions of the year, will be held at Camp Pendleton, CA, during February 1 – 2.

    Companies from around the world will showcase weapons, equipment and systems designed to enhance the amphibious and expeditionary warfighting capabilities of America’s Marines in carrying out their “First to Fight” role. Marine West provides Marines and other U.S. and allied military personnel with opportunities to interface with leading U.S. and international defense industry professionals. The event will include displays and videos of the best military hardware produced anywhere in the world, with opportunities for “hands-on” examination of many of the items being presented.

    This year’s edition of Marine West comes at a time when the U.S. Armed Forces are in the midst of reviewing their equipment needs after years of sustained combat operations in Southwest Asia and exceptionally high training and operational tempos around the world. The event allows end-users of combat equipment to look to the future and incorporate what they see and hear into their considerations in the critical equipment reset strategy now underway. Attendees will be able to discuss with company representatives what their specific requirements are, offer suggestions for future generations of weapons and equipment, and explore the most cost-effective avenues toward modernization. Marine West has added a new dimension to the relationship between the defense industry and thousands of warfighters just back from combat as well as those training for combat and those responsible for re-equipping of the 21st Century Corps.

    In addition to equipment and weapons, logistics support systems, and communications systems, other displays will highlight items used in special operations and a growing number of other diverse military roles, including chemical and biological agent detection, facility and perimeter surveillance, and reconnaissance, among others.

    Co-sponsors of Marine West 2012 are Camp Pendleton, the Marine Corps League and Marine Corps Systems Command. Camp Pendleton is one of the Marine Corps’ largest and most important training bases. The Marine Corps League is a Congressionally chartered Marine veterans’ organization long noted for its support of the Corps. The Marine Corps Systems Command has overall responsibility for assuring that Marines have cutting-edge equipment and technology specifically designed for, or adapted to, the Corps’ wide spectrum of intense performance demands for combat operations. The event is endorsed by the Marine Corps Aviation Association and Marine Corps Association.

    All attendees will be required to present photo identification. Vehicles entering Camp Pendleton may be subjected to inspection. Registration will be on-site; however, Marines in uniform will not be required to register. There is no fee to attend the event.

    The exhibit area for Marine West 2012 will be adjacent to Camp Pendleton’s South Mesa Club. On Wednesday, February 1st, the first day of the expo, a Commanders’ Preview will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. All other attendees are invited to attend the opening ceremony from 9:45 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. and visit the equipment displays from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

    On Thursday, February 2nd, the exposition will be open from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

    The Marine West 2012 Schedule:

    Tuesday, January 31 – Marine West 2012 Golf Tournament

    Wednesday, February 1 (registration open 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.)
