Lockheed martin at farnborough international airshow

14 September 1998

The Lockheed Martin Corporation's presence at Farnborough International '98 was dominated by one theme - the corporate commitment to Global Partnerships. No aerospace company in the world offers the breadth of capabilities and technology leadership of Lockheed Martin. With over 125 co-operative alliances covering 70 programmes in 47 countries, Lockheed Martin is the aerospace and technology company partner of choice.

Our "Partnership Pavilion" presented a company with a range of capabilities, financial strength and global market access necessary to ensure success in the defence and commercial marketplaces. Our exhibit, featured collaborative ventures and programs from aeronautics, electronics, space, information technologies and systems integration, showcases our commitment to the global market through world-wide partnerships, superior technology and our dedication to 100% mission success.

The Exhibit, arranged in ten thematic areas ranging from Tactical Aviation, Battlefield Management, Naval Systems, Tactical Electronics, Missiles Systems and others, featured ASTOR surveillance program, C-130J Hercules tactical transport, F-16 Fighting Falcon, the Merlin and Apache helicopter programs and future development efforts, such as the Joint Strike Fighter.

Exhibit highlights included a Project Rainbow interoperability demonstration; a fully functioning F-16 advanced cockpit simulator; a LANTIRN night vision and targeting cockpit display; a systems integration exhibit featuring the defence systems integration for the Royal Navy EH-101 Merlin helicopter and training system; and numerous displays of missiles, tactical weapons, radars, air traffic management and space systems.

A multi-media theatre presented a live report via-satellite on the F-22 flight test program from Edwards Air Force, California. The report was one of nine press conferences planned for the Pavilion theatre.
