SKY Computers Chosen by Lockheed Martin For U.S. Navy's TEP Program.CHELMSFORD, Mass. -- Delivery of Industry's First High-Performance Embedded Server Demonstrates Need in Military Markets for COTS Built on Standards-Based, Open-Source Architecture SKY Computers,(R) Inc., a subsidiary of Analogic Corporation This article or section needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : ALOG ALOG Army Logistician (Magazine) ALOG Army Logistics ALOG Activity Log ALOG AWIS Logistics ), today announced that 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. Maritime Systems & Sensors (MS2) of Moorestown, N.J., is installing SKY's high-performance embedded server in the U.S. Navy's Tactical Environment Processor (TEP TEP Tucson Electric Power TEP Tomographie par Emission de Positons (French: Nuclear medicine imaging) TEP Technical Evaluation Panel TEP The English Patient (movie) TEP Transportation Enhancement Program ) program. SKY's high-performance embedded servers are the first open systems to be optimized for demanding applications like weather analysis, targeting radars and yield management. SKY Computers delivered two SMARTpac(TM) 600 data acquisition servers, satisfying requirements for open-source and standards-based architecture in this demanding application. The inclusion of a Linux-based operating system, InfiniBand(TM) interconnect, as well as MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface and VSIPL VSIPL Vector, Signal, and Image Processing Library VSIPL Vector Signal and Image Processing Library development tools enables SKY's SMARTpac Systems family of products to increasingly serve the needs of military and defense customers. Lockheed Martin selected SKY's SMARTpac 600 for the U.S. Navy's Tactical Environment Processor (TEP) program because SKY's product complies with open standards. This weather processing system is based on the ground-based, SKY-supported system installed at the National Weather Radar Testbed in Norman, Oklahoma (see press release "Lockheed Martin (NE&SS)-Surface Systems Selects SKY For Weather Radar Testbed" at http://www.skycomputers.com/news/news_releases.cfm?item=14). Lockheed Martin, in partnership with the U.S. Navy's Operation Effects Program Office, based in San Diego, has developed the advanced weather radar processor that extracts detailed environmental measurements from surveillance radars such as the AN/SPY-1 phased array radar aboard the U.S. Navy's Aegis cruisers and destroyers. The TEP program benefits both "warfighters" and meteorologists Atmospheric scientists
Lockheed Martin Maritime Systems & Sensors provides surface, air, and undersea applications for U.S. and allied forces, including radar and surveillance systems, undersea combat systems, and C4I C4I Command, Control, Communications, Computers, & Intelligence (US DoD) C4I Command Control Communications Computer and Intelligence surface-combat systems and sensors; as well as advanced technology products, including some of the most advanced ship hull forms operating today. "As an early adopter of the COTS philosophy for embedded servers, SKY leverages industry-standard computing hardware, software, development tools, and interconnects to help reduce a defense customer's development, deployment, and maintenance time, cost, and risk," said Don Barry, president of SKY Computers. "The order from Lockheed Martin to serve the Navy's TEP program is validation that defense contractors and integrators seek a high-performance embedded server and computing platform with unprecedented flexibility." SKY's SMARTpac Systems also readily adapt to many other defense-related applications, such as Software Defined Radio A wireless terminal (phone, PDA, etc.) that is reconfigurable via software. It enables wireless devices to be easily updated to new or later versions of the air interface and allows multiple interfaces to be supported. , shallow-water mine detectors in Navtronics, foliage-penetrating radars in Avionics, and targeting radars in Vetronics. SKY's SMARTpac Systems architecture and experience allow for configurations to be customized to specific applications. SMARTpac was designed to meet a wide range of defense and military sub-system needs that share common application requirements.
