Lockheed Northrop And ATK Pursue Future Multi-Role Weapon Programs
Farnborough, England (SPX) Jul 18, 2008 Alliant Techsystems, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman have signed a teaming agreement to jointly pursue the emerging market for advanced capability multi-role weapons. This team provides any potential customer in this market with the product options that offer the best capabilities, schedule, and price available. This is achieved through the integration of the capabilities that the team provides across sensors, automatic target recognition, guidance navigation and control, air vehicles, propulsion, lethality, survivability, mission planning, platform integration, system engineering, and program management. As the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II, unmanned aerial systems, and future aircraft platforms are fielded over the next decade, the team believes that an advanced multi-role weapon requirement will emerge in the future that covers both the air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. This team, with its current weapon programs and demonstrated advanced technology capabilities, is confident that it will offer the customer best value options to meet this need.

One of these, bulimia, a condition reported to have afflicted Diana, the late princess of Wales, is characterized by alternating cycles of binging on food followed by purging. In addition to the obvious psychological effects, bulimia can inflict tremendous damage on the sufferer's body and metabolism. |
