Asian Defense News: DTN News - LOCKHEED MARTIN DEFENSE NEWS: C-130J Flight Line Shows Multi-Mission Flexibility
(NSI News Source Info)

MARIETTA, Ga., - April 11th, 2011: Special mission versions of the C-130J Super Hercules are becoming a regular sight on the Lockheed Martin flightline here. First in line (on right) is an Indian Air Force aircraft, which is based on the C-130J long airframe, configured to meet that operator’s special operations forces requirement.


Next on the line are the first of the new MC-130J Combat Shadow IIs that are being prepared for delivery to U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command. The third aircraft configuration is the new HC-130J Combat King II personnel recovery aircraft developed for the U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command.


The HC and MC-130Js are built off the U.S. Marine Corps KC-130J tanker variant that utilizes the shorter airframe. Unique individual customer and mission requirements are incorporated during production, thus eliminating the costs traditionally associated with post-production modifications.

Asian Defense News: DTN News - BOEING DEFENSE NEWS: Boeing Receives Contract For SM-3 IIB Concept Design
**Missile Defense Agency contract supports DOD’s Phased Adaptive Approach
(NSI News Source Info) HUNTSVILLE, Ala., - April 11, 2011: Boeing [NYSE: BA] today announced that it has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to develop the Standard Missile-3 Block IIB (SM-3 IIB). This $41.2 million, 32-month contract is for the concept definition and planning phase of the project.

SM-3 IIB is a key component of the Department of Defense's Phased Adaptive Approach for missile defense in Europe. It will provide capability against emerging longer-range ballistic missile threats.

This combination of Boeing capabilities and weapon production experience will deliver an affordable solution that meets the requirements of this important national defense program.

"For the past several years, Boeing's advanced interceptor technology group has been developing the next generation of missile technologies," said Alex Lopez, vice president, Boeing Phantom Works Advanced Network & Space Systems. "We can now apply these new and innovative technologies toward this first phase of SM-3 IIB in order to address mission objectives."

Boeing is the largest aerospace company in Alabama and one of the state's largest employers. Current company operations in Huntsville include the Ground-based Midcourse Defense program and other missile defense work, such as the Arrow system and the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 seeker, as well as work associated with Ares I, the International Space Station, Army Integrated Logistics, Brigade Combat Team Modernization, and engineering for the 787 and the P-8A Poseidon.
