Savi Extends SmartChain(R) Total Asset Management Suite With Item Unique ID
and Passive RFID Capabilities

SmartChain and Industry-Leading I-GUIDES Software Enable DoD and Aerospace
Defense Suppliers to Meet ID Policies and Streamline Supply Chain Operations

DENVER, April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Savi Technology, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), today announced the extension of
its SmartChain(R) asset management software with I-GUIDES, creating a modular
solution that enables the U.S. Department of Defense and its suppliers to
uniquely identify, track and manage items and inventory throughout the supply
chain. The newly expanded capability was announced today at the UID Forum
(Savi Booth #17).

I-GUIDES (Integrated Global UID Enterprise Solution) will continue to be
offered on its own in its present form to simplify compliance with DoD's Item
Unique Identification (IUID) Policy by creating a unique identification code
that is applied to mission-critical assets via a two-dimensional barcode.
When incorporated as Savi SmartChain(R) I-GUIDES, users can go beyond DoD
policy requirements and gain better control over the end-to-end visibility and
management of their supply chain assets and inventory.

I-GUIDES, which has been commercially available from Lockheed Martin since
2004 and recently transferred to Savi Technology, has become established as
the most widely used and complete item identification solution across major
defense suppliers and the DoD. With Savi's expertise in asset and supply
chain management solutions, the software can be taken to the next level of
customer value.

"We're thrilled to be able to incorporate I-GUIDES into our suite of
SmartChain asset management tools because it's the first step in total asset
visibility and management, which broadens the value we can deliver to
customers who want to optimize the management of their supply chain assets,"
said David Shannon, Savi Technology's senior vice president of Strategy,
Marketing and the Project Management Office.

Shannon emphasized that current and prospective defense suppliers using
I-GUIDES will see no difference or disruption in the solution developed by
Lockheed Martin. However, a combined Savi SmartChain I-GUIDES solution now
allows customers to gain returns on their investment by improving the
management of assets throughout the global supply chain. Savi SmartChain(R)
I-GUIDES also can leverage all types of wireless tracking and sensor
technologies to manage assets and inventory anytime and anywhere, monitor
asset conditions, audit the history of the asset and know when it requires
maintenance or repair.

The IUID Policy not only applies to commercial companies that are DoD
suppliers, but it also applies to legacy assets already in the DoD's supply
network.

From aircraft parts and vehicle transmissions to medical and computer
equipment, the IUID mandate requires the placement of a unique two-dimensional
data matrix bar code on items costing more than $5,000, or that are serially
managed by the DoD, considered mission critical or categorized as spare parts
or requiring maintenance and repair.

Savi SmartChain I-GUIDES is a web-based software solution that can be
purchased through a license or a subscription. It supports a full range of
data input approaches and printers to generate 2-D barcodes, can be set up
rapidly, and can integrate data with passive RFID labels and other Automatic
Identification Technologies to associate the item with cases, pallets or
containers transporting them.
