		<description><![CDATA[Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) bagged a $421.1 million contract from the U.S. Air Force for upgrading the Air Force’s command and control center, Weapon System Integrator. The company will provide systems engineering, integration, modernization, maintenance, management and contingency support. In recent times, Lockheed Martin has witnessed the cancellation of quite a few prominent programs such as the TSAT Mission Operations System (TMOS) contract, F-22 Raptor program and the VH-71 Presidential Helicopter (VH-71) program. Lockheed’s high-cost platform programs were the prime targets of the Obama Administration for budget cuts. The addition of $421.1 million would boost the beleaguered backlog of the company, which reduced to $79.2 billion after the first half of the fiscal 2009 from $80.9 billion after year-end fiscal 2008. Lockheed Martin remains a key player within the military ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) yesterday completed the acquisition of Gyrocam Systems LLC, which develops and supplies primarily to the U.S. military – gyrostabilized optical surveillance systems and sustainment field services. Historically, Lockheed Martin has grown through both organic means and acquisitions. Through the Gyrocam acquisition, the company increased its exposure into the state-of-the-art surveillance systems business. The company is focused on improving the performance of its Electronic Systems segment, where it witnessed 1% lower sales year over year, primarily due to lower air defense programs sales. However, the marginal fall is misleading since much of the damage was offset by higher simulation and training activities, besides radar programs and surface naval warfare activities. The onus for higher simulation and training sales came from the January 2009 acquisition of Universal Systems ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC) yesterday bagged two Pentagon contracts worth $5.87 billion. The first contract is worth $3.44 billion, from the Air Force for providing services for the stealth bomber B-2 bomber fleet. The second contract is of $2.43 billion from the Navy for providing services on overhaul, alterations, repair, maintenance and refueling of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. Northrop Grumman is the second largest defense contractor after Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT). These contracts will boost the dwindling backlog of Northrop, which fell to $70.4 billion after the fiscal second quarter from $76.9 billion year over year. Northrop’s backlog was affected by the cancellation of the $5.1 billion Kinetic Energy Interceptor program by the U.S. Government. The Air Force contract will maintain the status-quo of the Electronic Systems ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[General Dynamics (GD) recently said that its unit, General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products, has received a $100 million contract from the US Army TACOM-Rock Island Ill division. The contract for supplying M2 flex machine guns is of indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) nature and is scheduled to be completed by April 2012. The M2 flex machine gun is a belt-fed, recoil-operated, air-cooled, right-hand/left-hand feed compatible, crew-served arm and is suited for both offensive and defensive operations. The guns will be manufactured at the company’s Saco, Maine facility and its technology center in Burlington, Vermont will administer program management. General Dynamics is likely to continue meeting investor expectations backed by strong revenue growth, margin expansion and cash flow generation. The recent acquisitions of Jet Aviation and Axle Tech Incorporatedreased Navy spending ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fitch Ratings recently lowered its outlook on Honeywell International Inc. (HON) as it expects the defense contractor’s weak operating performance that began late last year to continue through 2009. Lower earnings and cash flow have resulted in a leverage which is above normal levels for maintaining an “A&#8221; assigned to the company’s long-term default rating, unsecured bank credit and senior unsecured debt program. Fitch has an &#8220;F1&#8243; rating on Honeywell’s short-term issuer default and commercial papers. Although the global recession has hurt the company’s short-term outlook and 2009 results, Honeywell plans to continue its investments to ensure growth when the economy rebounds. It intends to reduce debt to help limit the impact of weaker financial results on leverage in 2009. The company continues to target strong financial metrics to improve ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) is gearing up big-time to rejuvenate its beleaguered Space Systems segment. Yesterday, the company broke ground on two new projects at its facility in Newtown, Pennsylvania. The estimated cost of the two projects will come to around $24 million. Lockheed Martin Space Systems Co. (LMSSC) is a major operating unit of Lockheed Martin’s Space Systems segment. LMSSC designs and develops, tests, manufactures and operates a full spectrum of advanced-technology systems for national security and military, civil government and commercial customers. The Newtown facility is the headquarters for LMSSC, besides the next-generation Global Positioning System (GPS) III and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite R-Series (GOES-R) programs.
