IN BRIEF
Lockheed Martin to
upgrade avionics
and computers on
German P-3C aircraft
Military avionics experts at
Lockheed Martin Corp. will
upgrade the mission computers aboard German military P-3C maritime patrol
and anti-submarine warfare
(ASW) aircraft under terms
of a $158.5 million order.
Lockheed Martin Global Inc. in
Owego, N.Y., will upgrade the
mission computers, acous-
tic equipment, armament/
ordnance systems, and dis-
plays and controls on eight
German P-3C aircraft under
the Foreign Military Sales
(FMS) program. The Lockheed
Martin P-3C Orion four-en-
gine turboprop long-range
maritime patrol plane has
been in service since 1969,
and is a converted version of
the Lockheed Electra passen-
ger aircraft. The Navy P-3C is
being replaced by the Boeing
P-8A Poseidon jet. This con-
tract modification to Lockheed
Martin will provide for new
mission and acoustic system
avionics with several German-
specific components to sat-
isfy current and future North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) requirements. The
P-3C is designed for mis-
sions that include long-range
ASW patrol, as well as land
and sea surveillance. It has
DARPA researchers are ask-
ing the two companies to build an
active sonar with an active sonar
projector small enough for UUV
operations, and bistatic active sonar
processing. This will involve devel-
oping high-output transducer mate-
rials, and a sonar projector that is
as energy-efficient as possible.
Researchers want the ability to
focus the projected acoustic signal
in a direction of interest. The goal
is to produce practical and flexible
designs for the projector that can
scale for several different UUVs and
deployment options.
