Lockheed Martin Qualifies for All Four Lots in Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Effort Worth Up to $4 Billion.Business Editors ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2001 Recent Test - Instrumentation Simulation Award Added to Live, Virtual, and Constructive Training Contracts Lockheed Martin For the former company, see . Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is a leading multinational aerospace manufacturer and advanced technology company formed in 1995 by the merger of Lockheed Corporation with Martin Marietta. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :LMT LMT left mentotransverse (position of fetus). ) is one of only three companies awarded contracts in all four domains of the U.S. Army's Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM STRICOM Simulation Training and Instrumentation Command STRICOM Simulation, Training & Instrumentation Command (US Army) ) Omnibus Contract (STOC STOC Symposium on Theory of Computing STOC ST1100 Owners Club (Honda Motorcycle) STOC Special Technical Operations Center (US DoD) STOC Special Tactics Operations Center STOC Ships Technical Operating Committee ) worth up to $4 billion over eight years. Lockheed Martin Information Systems captured the fourth and final award in the Lot IV test -instrumentation domain of the indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ ID/IQ Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity ID/IQ Indefinite Duration/Indefinite Quantity ) contract. The test - instrumentation domain involves products and services such as targets, simulations and instrumentation systems that allow assessment of military equipment effectiveness. "In 1994, Lockheed Martin recognized the need to invest in combining its simulation and training resources into a world-class facility near the U.S. Army's center of excellence," said Lockheed Martin Information Systems President John Hallal. "That foresight has paid dividends in making our corporation a valued partner in the development of the Army's next generation of training and instrumentation systems." Earlier STOC award announcements made in the fourth quarter of 2000 and January 2001 were for: Lot I live domain, which entails use of advanced distributed learning Distributed Learning means a method of instruction that relies primarily on indirect communication between students and teachers, including internet or other electronic-based delivery, teleconferencing or correspondence; (British Columbia, School Act, 2006). , training range instrumentation, and laser-based tactical engagement simulation A Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) is a training system for using weapons. Laser transmitters are used instead of bullets, larger rounds, or shorter-range guided weapons such as anti-tank missiles. systems to simulate military operations using live forces and weapon systems; Lot II virtual domain, which uses computer-based systems to simulate hardware, systems and munitions mu·ni·tion n. War materiel, especially weapons and ammunition. Often used in the plural. tr.v. mu·ni·tioned, mu·ni·tion·ing, mu·ni·tions To supply with munitions. for the training of individual or collective groups of soldiers; and Lot III constructive domain, which includes war games and automated simulations that represent actions of people and systems in the simulation as well as entity level force simulation and models. "STOC is designed to allow STRICOM to respond quickly to contracting requirements in support of solider simulation and training needs throughout the Army, DoD and related government agencies," said Brig. Gen. Stephen Seay, Commanding General, U.S. Army Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command. "By selecting a group of contractors who have demonstrated superior capabilities and are prepared in advance, STRICOM can be more responsive to contracting requirements." Lockheed Martin's ground simulators train war fighters to maneuver as units through photo-realistic virtual synthetic environments, its live-fire targetry and tactical engagement systems train soldiers to operate in the stress and lethality of combat, its constructive simulations prepare Army leaders to address future conflicts and Lockheed Martin's flight simulators take pilots from initial qualification training all the way through real-time, virtual combat mission rehearsal. Lockheed Martin employs approximately 6,500 employees in Central Florida operations. Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global enterprise principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced-technology systems, products and services. The Corporation's core businesses are systems integration, space, aeronautics, and technology services.
