THANK YOU

Dear Board of Directors,

I was amazed to receive the $50

check from LMMAR the other day. I

very seldom have won anything in my

life. Wow! I am going to give it to the

local Wildlife Rescue Center in Santa

Cruz. An amazing woman and helpers

run the place. Everywhere you turn,

there is another little habitat with an-

other rescued/being rehabilitated

small creature. As small as baby hum-

mingbirds to raccoon size - all in one

small piece of property where the

woman lives with family and animal

helpers. It is truly an amazing place.

She has rehabilitated several small

animals I have brought to her. Very

small droppers are used to feed the

baby birds every two hours around the

clock.

Thank you for giving me the opportu-

nity to help them.

PRESS RELEASE

Lockheed Martin-Built Trident II D5

Missile Achieves New Record of 134

Successful Test Flights In A Row

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 22nd, 2010 --

The U.S. Navy conducted successful

test flights June 8 and 9 of four Tri-

dent II D5 Fleet Ballistic Missiles

(FBMs) built by Lockheed Martin

(NYSE: LMT). The Navy launched the

unarmed missiles from the sub-

merged submarine USS Maryland

(SSBN 738) in the Atlantic Ocean.

(Continued on page 4)

Page 4 L O C K H E E D M A R T I N M A N A G E M E N T A S S O C I A T I O N R E T I R E E S

This test marked the 131st, 132nd,

133rd and 134th consecutive suc-

cessful test flights of the Trident II D5

missile since 1989 – continuing a

more than 20-year record of reliability

that is unmatched by any other large

ballistic missile or space launch vehi-

cle.

“We are proud to support the Navy in

its crucial strategic deterrence mis-

sion,” said Melanie A. Sloane, vice

president of Fleet Ballistic Missile pro-

grams, Lockheed Martin Space Sys-

tems Company, the Navy’s Trident

missile prime contractor. “These suc-

cessful missile tests demonstrate the

readiness and reliability of the entire

Trident II D5 Strategic Weapon Sys-

tem and the unflagging commitment

to excellence of the full Navy and in-

dustry team.”

The Navy launched the missiles as

part of a Follow-on Commander’s

Evaluation Test. The Navy conducts a

continuing series of operational sys-

tem evaluation tests to assure the

safety, reliability, readiness and per-

formance of the Trident II D5 Strategic

Weapon System, as required by the

Department of Defense’s National

Command Authority. The Navy con-

ducts the tests under the testing

guidelines of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Each missile was converted into a test

configuration using a test missile kit

produced by Lockheed Martin that

contains range safety devices and

flight telemetry instrumentation.

First deployed in 1990, the D5 missile

is currently aboard OHIO-class subma-

rines and British VANGUARD-class

submarines. The three-stage, solid-

propellant, inertial-guided ballistic

missile can travel a nominal range of

4,000 nautical miles and carries mul-

tiple independently targeted reentry

vehicles.

Lockheed Martin Space Systems Com-

pany, Sunnyvale, Calif., has been the

strategic missile prime contractor for

the U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Pro-

grams since the inception of the Fleet

Ballistic Missile program more than

50 years ago. Lockheed Martin Space

Systems employees, principally in

California, Georgia, Florida, Washing-

ton, Utah and Virginia, support the

design, development, production, test,

and operation and sustainment of the

Trident Strategic Weapon System.

 

PRESS RELEASE

THAAD Weapon System Achieves

Lowest Endo Intercept to Date, Main-

tains 100% Success Rate

DALLAS, TX, June 29th, 2010 -- The

Missile Defense Agency and Lockheed

Martin [NYSE:LMT] conducted a suc-

cessful flight test of the Terminal High

Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)

Weapon System today at the Pacific

Missile Range Facility on Kauai, HI.

This flight test was THAAD’s seventh

intercept to date and proved the sys-

tem’s ability to intercept a unitary tar-

get in the low endo-atmosphere.

There were many THAAD flight test

program “firsts” accomplished during

FTT-14, including the lowest endo–

atmospheric intercept to date; use of

fielded THAAD ground segment hard-

ware and software from the THAAD

production program; and the first live

mission to demonstrate automatic

engagement coordination between

THAAD and Patriot.

In addition to Patriot, the flight test

included participation by the C2BMC

element. The C2BMC reported situ-

ational awareness to combatant com-

mander displays monitoring the test.

Flight test objectives included demon-

strating the integration of the THAAD

Weapon System; intercepting the tar-

get at a highly stressing angle due to

the high pressure environment of the

endo-atmosphere; completing target

acquisition and aimpoint selection by

the interceptor’s seeker avionics flight

software; and operating the radar, fire

control and launcher by U.S. Army

soldiers during the mission.

“Today’s successful low endo inter-

cept further proves THAAD’s mission

flexibility and capability,” said Tom

McGrath, vice president and program

manager for THAAD at Lockheed Mar-

tin. “The weapon system’s success is

much to the credit of the U.S. Army

soldiers’ superior performance in exe-

cuting this mission and their dedica-

tion to 100 percent Mission Success.”

Since 2005, the program has com-

pleted 11 flight tests, with seven-for-

seven intercepts. THAAD is the only

missile defense system with the op-

erational flexibility to intercept in both

the endo- and exo-atmospheres to

provide versatile capability to the War-

fighter.
