NEWS IN BRIEF

May 14, 2004 by

11 May 04. Plans for a sophisticated suite of digital simulation and software laboratories were unveiled by Lockheed Martin UK Ltd. The advanced facilities will be used to develop and test future concepts and technology for military mission systems and networked sensor systems – and will support contracts the company has with the UK MoD. The labs, known as: ‘The Lockheed Martin UK System Development & Integration Facility’ or S-DIF for short, will be located at Lockheed Martin UK – Integrated Systems site in Havant, Hampshire and represent an investment in pioneering research & development (R&D) work. The investment is currently planned over five years and will sustain a number of highly skilled jobs on the South Coast of England. When fully functional, the labs will first be used in the design, development and testing of a new open architecture mission system for the Royal Navy’s proven Merlin helicopter, for which Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor and systems integrator. S-DIF will allow Royal Navy aircrew to perform a ‘real’ mission or a series of missions as if they were in the rear of an aircraft. One of the key objectives of S-DIF is to integrate multiple mission systems in an open architecture system, designed so that true ‘plug and play’ capabilities can be demonstrated.

(Nasdaq: ESLT – News), through its subsidiary Elop Electro-Optics Industries Ltd., are to set up a JV for common development and marketing of EO systems and infrared payloads, suitable for deployment in space and for UAVs (Unmanned Airborne Vehicles).
