1995 Annual Report - Lockheed Martin

The Services Group also operates information systems for the Environmental ProtectionAgency, including the National Environmental Supercomputing Center, where advanced scientificvisualization techniques are used to model the movement of pollutants through the air and waterand to assess the effectiveness of possible control mechanisms. Services Group during 1995enjoyed competitive wins with the U.S. Department of Treasury, the General ServicesAdministration and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. During 1995, Lockheed MartinInformation Systems was under contract with the FBI to demonstrate key elements of the futureAutomated Fingerprint Identification Segment (AFIS). When operational, AFIS will be able tomatch, within minutes, a high priority set of ten fingerprints against a data base of 400 million fingerprints— a significant improvement over today's search process.Lockheed Martin Information Systems enhanced its position in the simulation and trainingbusiness during 1995 by winning the U.S. Army's Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology IIPhoto Right:NASA has selectedUnited Space Alliance,a joint venturebetween LockheedMartin and RockwellInternational, tonegotiate a solesourcecontract thatwill consolidate theSpace Shuttle Programunder a singleprime contractor.program and a simulation and training support contract for the U.S. Air Force 58th SpecialOperations Wing. These simulation products are designed to assist our armed forces in improvingweapons systems, analyzing resource allocations, and training and evaluating personnel in realisticsimulated combat environments.Building on its heritage in military simulation systems, Information Systems launched acommercial product line of three dimensional computer graphics. This state-of-the-artReal 3D product line includes arcade graphics boards developed for Sega Enterprises, graphicsengines for commercial training and chip sets for the personal computer market, and realtime software applications.The Information & Technology Services Sector is on the cutting edge of rapidly evolvingdistributed client-server computing. Numerous customers have contracted with the Sector to helpre-engineer their business processes and introduce this advanced technology. Lockheed MartinManagement & Data Systems (M&DS) has developed a system that entails nearly three millionlines of code and a 300 gigabyte operational data base to support 80 worldwide user sites.Enterprise Information Systems employs client-server technology to develop LockheedMartin internal information systems, providing efficiencies to the operating companies and honingthe skills of our development cadres for external applications. MountainGate designs, develops andsells commercially a wide variety of modern, cost-effective information storage subsystems thatcan be integral components of such information systems. Formtek develops and sells commerciallyenterprise software that permits integration of existing applications and data bases into modernenterprise systems. Access Graphics sells and supports UNIX-based computing solutions fromcorporations such as Sun Microsystems and Silicon Graphics.Highlighting a successful year in providing commercial information technology productsand services, Lockheed Martin Integrated Business Solutions solidified its role as the technologypartner of choice for outsourcing by signing a contract with Melville Corporation, a leadingretail conglomerate including such well-known chains as Thorn McAn, Foot Action and Kay BeeToys. Integrated Business Solutions will consolidate and modernize Melville's existing information34systems operations to provide better service at lower costs.
