MARIETTA, Ga., November 20th, 2009 -- Demonstrating the increase in the C-130J build and delivery rate, Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] simultaneously delivered two C-130Js on Nov. 19 to two different customers – a C-130J to the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and a KC-130J to the U.S. Marine Corps.

The USAFE C-130J was accepted by Brig. Gen. Mark C. “Marshal” Dillon, commander of the 86^th Airlift Wing, Ramstein Air Base, and commander, Kaiserslautern Military Community, Germany. The KC-130J Tanker was accepted by a Marine Corps flight crew and will be based at VMGR-152, Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan.

MARIETTA, Ga., November 18th, 2009 -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] and U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) officials marked the delivery of the first CBP set of new production P-3 Orion wings from the company's Marietta, Ga., production facility today. 

The new production wings are the cornerstone of the Aircraft Service Life Extension Program (ASLEP) which provides an industry-unique solution in keeping the world's P-3 fleets operational. P-3 operators selecting ASLEP will benefit from an additional 15,000+ flight hours per updated aircraft, extending the P-3's service life 20-25 years.

MAWSON LAKES, S.A., November 18th, 2009 -- The Hon. Mike Rann, Premier of South Australia, officially opened the new Lockheed Martin Australia Electronic Systems facility at Mawson Lakes today.

Following Lockheed Martin Australia’s successful acquisition of RLM Group in 2008, its workforce grew to more than 400, making a larger facility necessary. With 200 employees still based in Adelaide, Lockheed Martin Australia Electronic Systems (LMAES) also will retain its original facility at Edinburgh.

PALO ALTO, Calif., November 18th, 2009 -- A radiation-resistant version of NRAM™ carbon-nanotube-based memory, developed jointly by Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] and Nantero, was tested on a recent Space Shuttle mission. The NRAM™ was incorporated by NASA into special autonomous testing configurations installed into a carrier at the aft end of the payload bay. It was launched into space as part of STS-125, the May 2009 mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis that successfully serviced the Hubble Space Telescope. The project was managed by Dan Powell, Chief Nanotechnologist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).

“Lockheed Martin is a leader in the research, development and application of nanotechnology to future government applications," said Dr. Jim Ryder, vice president and general manager of the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto. "This demonstration of carbon-nanotube-based semiconductor devices in the rigorous conditions of space is an important step towards a whole new suite of future applications.”
The experiment was a proof-of-concept that enabled the testing of launch and re-entry survivability, as well as basic functionality of the carbon nanotube switches on orbit throughout the shuttle mission. The NRAM™ devices were early prototype parts, and performed the same before, during, and after completion of the mission. This mission represents an important first step in the development of high-density, non-volatile, carbon-nanotube-based memories for spaceflight applications. Lockheed Martin and NASA are working on plans for future NRAM™ flights.

Phoenix, Ariz., November 18th, 2009 -- The U.S. Census Bureau and Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] today unveiled two new facilities in Phoenix, Ariz., to support the data capture efforts required for the 2010 Census.

The 212,000-square-foot Phoenix Data Capture Center facility at 4427 West Buckeye Road in Phoenix, Ariz., will house approximately 2,500 professionals who will be supporting a broad spectrum of services related to 2010 Census data capture efforts. The Phoenix Call Center is located at 8900 22nd Avenue in Phoenix, Ariz., and will employ approximately 330 professionals to handle both inbound and outbound calling activities to support the 2010 Census data capture efforts. Each of the facilities is an integral element in Lockheed Martin’s efforts to deliver the people, process, technology and infrastructure for the 2010 Census.

Mountain View, Calif., November 17th, 2009 -- Building on its successful ISO 18000-7 licensing program, Lockheed Martin’s [NYSE:LMT] Savi today announced the launch of UnwiredPlanet^TM , its next-generation patent licensing program with reduced pricing and a broader portfolio of wireless sensor networking patents.

UnwiredPlanet supersedes previous Savi licensing programs for DASH7^TM (ISO 18000-7) technologies and is aimed at accelerating market adoption for DASH7 outside its initial deployments in the defense sector.Initial licensees already are realizing benefits from DASH7’s growing usage in the marketplace as evidenced by DoD’s recent $429.4 million RFID III contract for DASH7 hardware, and further adoption by non-U.S. allied defense forces.

NAVAL AIR STATION PATUXENT RIVER, Md., November 16th, 2009 -- The first Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] F-35B Lightning II short takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) stealth fighter arrived Sunday at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., where it will conduct its first hovers and vertical landings. The ferry flight initiates a sequence of F-35 arrivals at Patuxent River this year and next.

Piloted by Lockheed Martin F-35 Chief Test Pilot Jon Beesley, the F-35B flew from Fort Worth, Texas, to Patuxent River by way of Dobbins Air Force Base in Georgia. Beesley landed on the Patuxent runway Sunday at 12:46 p.m. EST.

F-35 AF-1 leaves the runway near Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth, Texas, facility during its inaugural flight on Nov.14.

Lockheed Martin's [NYSE: LMT] first optimized conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35 Lightning II fighter made its inaugural flight on Saturday, Nov. 14, the fourth F-35 to begin flight operations.

Piloted by Lockheed Martin test pilot David "Doc" Nelson, the F-35A, called AF-1, left Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth plant and flew to 20,000 feet and Mach 0.6. Nelson raised and lowered the landing gear, performed 360-degree rolls and lifted the nose to 20 degrees angle of attack during an 89-minute flight. AF-1 was built on the same production line as the 31 Low Rate Initial Production aircraft now in assembly. The aircraft incorporates many evolutionary improvements and updates derived from the test program of AA-1, the first F-35. AF-1 joins two F-35B short takeoff/vertical landing variants currently in flight test.
