U.S. Army Receives First Lockheed Martin EQ-36 Counterfire Target Acquisition Radar SystemJuly 7, 2009 9:04:00 AM
EQ-36 Radar Delivered After Live-fire Testing at Yuma Proving Ground
SYRACUSE, N.Y., -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has delivered the first Non-Recurring Engineering Enhanced AN/TPQ-36 Counterfire Target Acquisition (EQ-36) Radar System to the U.S. Army.
The EQ-36 radar's delivery on July 2 followed its successful live-fire performance testing against indirect fire from mortars, artillery and rockets from a simulated enemy. The series of tests, held this spring at the Army's Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona, included engineering, contractor and government acceptance testing.
The on-time delivery of the first operational EQ-36 system was just 30 months after the Army's Program Executive Office - Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors awarded Lockheed Martin a $120 million design and development contract for five systems. EQ-36 radar systems will replace the aging TPQ-36 and TPQ-37 medium-range radars now in the Army's inventory.
"We've listened carefully to the U.S. Army and understand the urgent need to field EQ-36 to protect soldiers currently in the theater," said Carl Bannar, vice president of Lockheed Martin's Radar Systems business. "We're very proud to deliver this first operational EQ-36 system to our customer on schedule."
To accelerate the fielding of the EQ-36 radar, the U.S. Army in June 2008 exercised contract options with Lockheed Martin for 12 additional systems, which will include enhanced performance capabilities. Further, to support the war fighter, delivery of all 12 systems has been accelerated. With production for both orders now running in parallel, the remaining EQ-36 systems will be delivered by fall 2010.
In October 2007, the EQ-36 program completed a successful Preliminary Design Review and in March 2008, the program successfully completed its Critical Design Review.
In November and December 2007, a prototype EQ-36 radar, built by industry partner SRC, was tested against mortars and rockets at Yuma Proving Ground. During the tests, which were specifically designed to evaluate the radar's ability to meet U.S. Army requirements, the EQ-36 prototype successfully located the firing positions of both rocket and mortar launchers. Live fire testing was conducted over a seven-day period without a single false alarm.

Raytheon’s GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb II Completes Risk Reduction
Raytheon's GBU-53/B Small Diameter Bomb II Completes Risk ReductionSeptember 15, 2009
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) completed GBU-53/B datalink flight testing. This concludes all testing requirements for the company's Small Diameter Bomb II risk reduction program.
"The datalink met all key performance milestones and demonstrated the requirements needed to achieve 'technology readiness level 6,'" said Harry Schulte, Raytheon's vice president of Air Warfare Systems. "All other GBU-53/B subsystems have attained this technology readiness level as well, which means we are ideally postured to start engineering manufacturing development if we are awarded a contract."
Raytheon is competing for the U.S. Air Force's SDB II engineering manufacturing development contract, scheduled for award in 2010. Delivery of the first production rounds is planned for late 2013.
During the test, engineers evaluated both the Link 16 and UHF modes of the datalink, verifying the weapon was capable of receiving in-flight target updates and transmitting weapon in-flight track messages. The updates were used in the tests to slew the GBU-53/B's form-factored seeker to target locations on the ground.
The test was conducted using a U.S. Army UH-1 helicopter in late August. The UH-1 provided a cost-effective means to test the GBU-53/B hardware in a relevant environment and accumulate more data on each mission than would have been possible with a fast-moving jet aircraft.
Raytheon also completed another control test vehicle launch in late July using an F-15E launch aircraft.

UK Awards Javelin Joint Venture $176 Million for Javelin Missile Rounds
UK Awards Javelin Joint Venture $176 Million for Javelin Missile RoundsDecember 17, 2009
TUCSON, Ariz., -- The Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) - Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Javelin Joint Venture received a $176 million contract from the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense for more than 1,300 Javelin missile rounds and associated engineering support.
"The current battlefield requires precision at all levels of the fight, and Javelin meets the need for precision at both the platoon and squad levels," said Duane Gooden, program director of Raytheon's Javelin program and president of the Javelin Joint Venture. "Javelin is the weapon of choice for infantry, special operations and rapid reaction forces due to its unmatched lethality, versatility and gunner survivability."
Javelin is the world's first man-portable, fire-and-forget, multipurpose missile system. The compact, lightweight missile is designed for one-soldier operations in all environments. The joint venture will begin delivering missiles to the U.K. in 2010 and continue through 2012.
The Javelin enhances direct-fire capability against armored vehicles, buildings and field fortifications. Using the Javelin missile system, a single infantryman can engage and defeat targets at ranges up to two and a half kilometers (1.6 miles). Javelin is currently in service with the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps and 11 allied customers.
"Because the Javelin automatically guides itself to the target after launch, the missile system allows the gunner to either take cover to avoid counterfire or engage another threat," said Barry James, program director of Lockheed Martin Javelin program and vice president of the Javelin Joint Venture.

U.S. Military Buys Grenades
Filed under: AMTEC Corp., Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Services, U.S. Army, logistics, production program
The U.S. Army and Marine Corps have expended a great deal of ammunition over the last nine years in Iraq and Afghanistan. This has mainly been smaller rounds — rifles, machine guns, 25 and 30mm cannon rounds. The use of artillery and main tank guns has been restricted through the type of fighting and the Rules of Engagement. Often air delivered ordnance like Hellfire missiles and bombs provide the direct support rather then artillery. As part of this the 40mm grenade launched from systems attached to rifles as well as automatic systems has been heavily used.
To support this the Department of Defense announced a five year contract with AMTEC Corp. to continue production through 2014. This is a continuation of an existing five year contract issued in 2005. The initial value is about $33 million.

Oshkosh Defense Named Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year
OSHKOSH, Wis., Feb 26, 2010 — Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), received the 2009 Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year (MOTY), winning the Grand Award in the “Mega” category for companies with more than 750 employees. Oshkosh was selected as the top company in this annual state-wide competition among Wisconsin-based manufacturers.
Oshkosh Defense was recognized for its operations and business excellence during the past year, and was judged on criteria, including financial growth, environmental solutions, technological advancement, operational excellence, commitment to employees and community support.
“The award acknowledges the progress and growth at Oshkosh Defense, as well the hard work and experience of our employees,” said Andy Hove, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president, Defense. “This award is a tribute to the dedication of our workforce in building the finest military tactical wheeled vehicles to help supply our Armed Forces and help protect the lives of someone’s son, daughter, mother or father.”
For Oshkosh Defense, 2009 was a remarkable year. The Defense division won two major contracts and hired hundreds of new employees. The division first received an award on June 30, 2009 for the MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program, resulting in a $4.74 billion contract for 8.079 vehicles to be used in Afghanistan’s harsh rugged terrain. The contract award brought an immediate ramp up in production for this brand-new vehicle. This was an “urgent” needs project for the U.S. Army, and Oshkosh and its employees were able to design, test, build and begin delivering these life-saving vehicles to Afghanistan in less than a year — a truly remarkable accomplishment.
The next significant award came on Aug. 26, 2009 for the Army’s Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV).These two momentous programs are in addition to the existing programs and vehicles that Oshkosh provides for medium tactical wheeled vehicles for the Marine Corps and the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV) for the Army.
“Our success is the direct result of attention to detail from our management, the skill and determination of our employees and a companywide commitment to continuous improvement. Each day we come to work with a purpose and leave with a great sense of pride,” said Hove.
Nominees for the Wisconsin MOTY awards must have major manufacturing operations in the state. Winning companies are also recognized for having made Wisconsin a better place to live and work through their operations and business excellence.
MOTY winners were announced at an awards program on Thursday, Feb. 25 at The Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. The MOTY Awards Program is co-sponsored by Michael Best and Friedrich LLP, Baker Tilly Virchow Krause LLP, and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.

U.S. Army Completes Field Testing of Northrop Grumman-Developed Next-Generation FBCB2 Software
U.S. Army Completes Field Testing of Northrop Grumman-Developed Next-Generation FBCB2 SoftwareFebruary 25, 2010
RESTON, Va. –– The U.S. Army has completed formal evaluation of the next-generation software version of the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2), developed by Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC). Field testing of the new software, called Joint Capabilities Release (JCR), was conducted at Fort Hood, Texas, from Sept. 28 to Nov. 20, 2009.
FBCB2 is the key situational awareness and command-and-control
system used by U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The
JCR upgrades include a significant increase in the network's bandwidth,
allowing the combat-proven system to get more information to more users
within seconds rather than minutes. It also provides a joint forces
platform solution for both the Army and U.S. Marine Corps.
The Army and Marine Corps continue conducting a series of
planned tests at Fort Hood's Central Technical Support Facility and at
Camp Pendleton, Calif., in the Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support
Activity. Testing of the improved data throughput will continue
throughout 2011, after the Army awards a production contract for an
improved Blue Force Tracking 2 (BFT2) transceiver.
The services expect to decide whether to field JCR in late
summer 2010.
"JCR will provide soldiers and Marines with powerfully enhanced
capabilities in command-and-control and situational awareness," said
Joe G. Taylor, Jr., vice president of the Ground Combat Systems
operating unit within Northrop Grumman's Information Systems sector.
"We are very optimistic a positive decision will be reached, and JCR
will be fielded to operational units starting as early as October."
During last fall's field testing, evaluators examined the
effectiveness, reliability and performance of the system for both Army
and Marines, in various military vehicles, tactical operations centers,
called TOCs, and combat operations centers. The test was conducted in a
distributed environment and supported by active-duty military and
civilian personnel from several government agencies.
Northrop Grumman completed system segment acceptance testing
and delivered JCR to the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command,
Fort Monmouth, N.J., in September 2009.
Northrop Grumman developed JCR using an approach based on a
common set of core assets, making it more modular, reusable,
interoperable and easier to upgrade. This Battle Command Product Line
architecture is capable of supporting multiple products for a variety
of users, including aviation, dismounted soldiers, logistics and fires.
JCR will be fielded to 96 percent of all Army and Marine Corps
platforms that are scheduled to receive digital battle command systems.
To date, more than 85,000 FBCB2 systems have been deployed worldwide.
FBCB2 links communication devices, sensors, vehicles,
rotary-wing aircraft and weapons platforms in a seamless digital
network to provide a clear, continuous and common picture of the
battlefield. Most FBCB2 systems communicate via a satellite-based
network; about 30 percent use the Enhanced Position Location Reporting
System, or EPLRS, tactical radio network.
The company was awarded the first FBCB2 software development contract in January 1995.

Northrop Grumman’s Fire Scout Deploys Unmanned Ground Vehicles
Northrop Grumman's Fire Scout Deploys Unmanned Ground VehiclesFebruary 25, 2010
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE:NOC) Fire Scout Vertical Unmanned Aircraft System (VUAS) demonstrated how the U.S. Army and other land forces could rely on its ability to ferry unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) and other logistics items into combat zones during the Army's recent Expeditionary Warrior Experiment (AEWE) at Fort Benning, Ga.
Fire Scout demonstrated how the soldier can rely on its multifunctional capability for force protection, reconnaissance surveillance target acquisition (RSTA) and communications relay that only a VUAS of its caliber can provide.
During the AEWE, Fire Scout flew to a named area of interest,
surveyed the area to ensure it was clear, and landed autonomously
within its pre-planned landing point. When Fire Scout's on-board skid
sensors detected contact with the ground, a command was sent to release
the unmanned ground vehicle. Seconds later, Fire Scout ascended and
then loitered at a higher altitude to observe and provide a relay for
commands between the UGV and its controller.
"Use of an unmanned system to carry other unmanned systems into
battle could improve the speed of operations while protecting U.S.
lives," said Al Nikolaus, program manager of land-based Fire Scout at
Northrop Grumman's Aerospace Systems sector. "This demonstration
provides another example of Fire Scout's maturity, reliability,
flexibility, and its ability to operate successfully with currently
deployed systems."

Cray Wins Three New Computer Contracts
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Cray, Events, IT, Services, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, development program
Cray announced that it had been awarded a contract to provide three new computers to parts of the U.S. Defense Department. The value of the award will be $45 million. The computers will be provided to the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), U.S. Army and the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center.
Cray had been struggling recently with the decision by the Defense Advanced Research Products Agency (DARPA) to cancel a contract with Cray to provide computers and support. That program was scaled back and its loss cost Cray about $60 million in revenue. That decision seriously impacted future projections but much of that will be made up for with this contract.

Oshkosh Defense Unveils New Vehicles at AUSA Winter 2010
OSHKOSH, Wis. — Feb. 24, 2010 — Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), is displaying two new tactical wheeled vehicles in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., today through Friday (Feb. 24-26) at the annual Association of United States Army (AUSA) Winter Symposium and Exposition. Two new variants of the MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) are making their debut at the event, as is – for the first time in the Oshkosh booth – an Oshkosh truck from the U.S. Army’s Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV).
“This AUSA event is a great opportunity for Oshkosh Defense to demonstrate our support for the U.S. Army and showcase our newest offerings to military personnel across all ranks,” said Andy Hove, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and president, Defense. “The face-to-face conversations taking place at this show allow us to gather important feedback and information, which we use to continually improve our military vehicles.”
The new utility and ambulance M-ATV variants on display at AUSA offer new capabilities and mission profiles while maintaining the durable, best-in-class mobility and superior crew protection of the original M-ATV offering. Utility and ambulance M-ATVs were developed to allow military operations to provide critical casualty care and resupply services in unforgiving landscapes where tactical missions must operate. The M-ATV has provided superior off-road mobility for harsh mountainous terrain and unimproved road networks in places like Afghanistan. To date, the company has received orders valued at more than $4.74 billion to supply 8,079 M-ATVs, spare parts kits and in-theater aftermarket support.
Oshkosh also is displaying a vehicle from the company’s newest truck fleet, the Army’s FMTV. The Army awarded Oshkosh with the FTMV competitive rebuy contract on Aug. 26, 2009, which was sustained by the Army on Feb. 12 following a GAO directed review. The FMTV is a series of vehicles consisting of up to 23 variants and 17 different models, ranging from 2.5-ton to 5-ton payloads. Oshkosh now has a five-year, firm fixed-price requirements contract for the production of up to 23,000 vehicles and trailers, as well as support services and engineering. Oshkosh is currently working on an initial FMTV delivery order valued at $280.9 million for the production and delivery of 2,568 trucks and trailers. Oshkosh already produces the Army’s Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV).
Additionally a custom-painted, Army-themed Harley Davidson® Fat Boy® motorcycle, one of two grand prizes in the “Rumble With a Cause” sweepstakes benefiting the Armed Forces Foundation (AFF), will be on display at the Oshkosh booth. With the support of Oshkosh, the AFF launched the Rumble With a Cause sweepstakes in October 2009. AFF employees will be on site at AUSA to collect donations and sweepstakes entries. The campaign has a goal of raising $150,000 for AFF to aid delivery of a wide range of assistance and services to active and retired military members and their families, including counseling, living expenses, funeral arrangements, housing improvements and career counseling. The sweepstakes closes on April 15. Entries may also be made online at www.rumblewithacause.org.
NO DONATION OR PURCHASE IS NECESSARY TO ENTER. Individuals will receive one entry for each $10 donation made up to a total of $200 or 20 entries. All rules, including instructions for entry without donation and eligibility requirements, are on the sweepstakes Web site.

Harris To Make Radios For Northrop Grumman Battle Command System
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Events, Harris Corporation, IT, Northrop Grumman Corp., Services, U.S. Army, missile defense
Northrop Grumman awarded Harris Corporation a contract to provide radios for the Integrated Air and Missile Battle Command System (IBCS). The IBCS is being made for the U.S. Army by Northrop. As its name implies it will provide command and control for air and missile defense missions. Harris’ contract is for five years and is worth $25 million.
The Army has invested heavily over the last thirty years in systems such as the PATRIOT and THAAD to provide extended air and missile defense. They also procured Avenger systems that use AIM-120 air-to-air missile from vehicle mounts. These and their sensors need to be netted in such a way that a complete air and missile picture can be developed to best assign resources. Key to all of this is of course secure and redundant communications requiring advanced radios such as Harris is making for the IBCS.
Rolls-Royce To Build New Engine Controls For OH-58D

The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is the standard reconnaissance helicopter in use by the U.S. Army. As all Army Aviation it has seen a great deal of use in Iraq. Ultimately it will be replaced by the result of the current Armed Aerial Scout program. This replaced the failed Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) program which was canceled in 2008. Due to this failure the Army must continue to invest money into the OH-58 to keep it fighting.
Rolls-Royce was awarded a contract to develop a new Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) for the aircraft. This system is one of the key components of the upgrades to the aircraft. No value for the contract was provided. FADEC systems are becoming common on helicopters and fixed wing aircraft and aid in managing fuel consumption and performance. Rolls-Royce manufactures the M250 engines for the Kiowa Warrior at their plant in Indianapolis.

Boeing Looks To Get Into Vehicle Maintenance
Filed under: Boeing, Business Line, Companies, DLA, Events, Proposal, Services, U.S. Army, logistics, production program
Using their vast amount of experience supporting aircraft — both military and civilian — Boeing (BA) submitted a proposal to the U.S. Army to provide maintenance management and support at two depots primarily concerned with vehicle and weapon maintenance. The Industrial-Product Support Vendor (IPV) contract is worth over $190 million. The work at Anniston Army Depot in Alabama and Red River Depot in Texas is to repair, reset and recapitalize vehicles like the M1 tank, the M2 IFV and the Stryker ICV.
Boeing does not make many of these types of vehicles but at the depots the contract will provide support, forecasting and inventory management. This is all work that Boeing is experienced in with aircraft and they work with the Army already on helicopters such as the CH-47. The bid was submitted to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

U.S. Army AFFIRMS FMTV Contract AWARD to Oshkosh Corporation
OSHKOSH, Wis. — Feb. 12, 2010 — Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK) today announced the U.S. Army has affirmed the contract award to the Company, originally received on Aug. 26, 2009, to produce the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV).
The bids of all three competitors for the FMTV program were re-evaluated by the U.S. Army in response to recommendations made by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) following a review of competitors’ protests of the original contract award to the Company. The Army undertook an exhaustive review during this FMTV bidding process and applied fairness and rigor to its decision. Upon completion of a thorough, in-depth re-evaluation, the Army determined the contract would remain with Oshkosh. Additionally, the Army canceled the September 4, 2009, stop-work order it had issued pursuant to the GAO’s protest procedures. The Oshkosh contract allows the Army and U.S. taxpayers to begin realizing significant cost savings for the FMTV program.
“We are very pleased the Army affirmed its original decision that Oshkosh Corporation’s FMTV bid clearly represents the best overall value for the Army, the taxpayers and the Warfighter,” said Robert G. Bohn, Oshkosh Corporation chairman and chief executive officer. “Oshkosh Corporation, our employees and our suppliers stand ready to serve our customer, and we are delighted that the Army has yet again concluded that Oshkosh was the right choice. Our focus has always been on the Warfighter and making sure we deliver high-quality, high-performing vehicles on time.”
The FMTV rebuy program is a five-year, firm fixed-price requirements contract for the production of up to 23,000 vehicles and trailers, as well as support services and engineering. Oshkosh received the contract from the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) with an initial delivery order valued at $280.9 million for the production and delivery of 2,568 trucks and trailers.
The FMTV is a series of vehicles consisting of up to 23 variants and 17 different models, ranging from 2.5-ton to 5-ton payloads. Oshkosh already produces the Army’s Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles (FHTV) and works with nearly every one of the FMTV current component suppliers across the country as integral partners in other military programs.
Oshkosh is the only current manufacturer of both medium and heavy tactical wheeled vehicles in the U.S. defense industry, having produced more than 70,000 military-class vehicles in its manufacturing facilities. Oshkosh’s manufacturing facilities have ample production capacity for all current and pending military vehicle programs, including the FMTV and the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV), as well as any surges in production. The company’s advanced and integrated assembly line facilities allow for the simultaneous production of several different vehicle models and variations. Oshkosh Corporation’s proven production capabilities were recently recognized by the National Center for Advanced Technologies (NCAT), which awarded Oshkosh with a 2009 Defense Manufacturing Excellence Award for its M-ATV launch team, which has exceeded delivery requirements for seven consecutive months.

Army To Stop Buying AM General’s HUMVEE Vehicles
Filed under: AM General, Business Line, Companies, Events, Federal Budget Process, Services, U.S. Army, logistics, production program
In their 2011 budget request the Army reports that 2011 will be the last year of procurement for the ubiquitous AM General HUMVEE light truck. This four wheeled vehicle replace the venerable Jeep in U.S. military service in 1984. The HUMVEE will still be available for purchase by other U.S. services and for sales overseas but the Army states it has met its Acquisition Objective. There will also be contracts to maintain the existing fleet of vehicles.
The Army though does provide about half the market for the vehicle so the loss will be a blow to AM General. There is a new program in development called the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) that will when complete start replacing the HUMVEE. The U.S. is also investing in thousands of new trucks. Losses in Iraq and Afghanistan have been substantial but one of the reasons HUMVEE production is ending is recently there have been less damaged or destroyed then estimated.

The U.S. Army has been designing and executing the Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) for several years. LMP is a computer and web based system utilizing SAP to provide integrated logistics management of “supply, demand, asset availability, distribution, and maintain data, financial control and reporting.” It replaces two older systems and is slowly being rolled out across the various Army acquisition and sustainment organizations.
CSC (CSC) is one of the prime contractors involved in developing and supporting the program. The Army announced yesterday that they received execution of further contract modifications worth over $260 million to continue to provide this support. The current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have placed great stress on the U.S. Army’s logistics train. LMP’s main goal is to expedite the ordering, tracking and receipt of key equipment to increase operational readiness and capabilities.
