LOCKHEED MARTIN PRESS RELEASE
DENVER, April 23rd, 2008 – Lockheed Martin has submitted a series of innovative proposals to the Department of Defense designed to advance state-of-the-art technologies in support of fielding rapid and responsive space systems for the warfighter.
The proposals were submitted to the Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Office at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M.in response to three Broad Agency Announcements (BAA) released in March that address a range of capabilities in the ORS mission area. These include responsive spacecraft bus and payloads technologies; a multi-mission low earth orbit modular space vehicle; and responsive launch, range and system architecture and modeling technologies. Lockheed Martin responded to each of these BAAs with innovation and end-to-end solutions.
“The need to design, build and deploy responsive space systems that provide timely data to the warfighter is a top priority for our customer,” said Phil Bowen, director of Surveillance and Intelligence Systems at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. “Our responsive space capabilities combine Lockheed Martin’s proven experience and leading edge technologies in providing affordable and responsive solutions and we look forward to collaborating with the ORS office and our industry teammates on this important initiative.”
