Lockheed Martin Delivers First Target Sight System Production Unit to the U.S.
Marine Corps

ORLANDO, Fla., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) marked the
delivery of the first Target Sight System (TSS) production unit at a ceremony
held at its Orlando, FL, facility today. The TSS is the multi-sensor fire
control system for the U.S. Marine Corps' AH-1Z Cobra helicopter.

The TSS integrates state-of-the-art sensors, providing Cobra pilots with
enhanced capabilities to acquire, track and designate targets. The system
provides superior imagery through a highly-stabilized sensor suite that
includes a laser designator, color TV and a third-generation, mid-wave,
forward-looking infrared sensor with advanced image processing.

"Lockheed Martin has worked hard to deliver a superior targeting system
capability for the AH-1Z Cobra," said Col. Harry Hewson, U.S. Marine Corps
Program Manager Air 276. "TSS allows Warfighters to see farther with greater
precision, enabling mission accomplishment and safe return to base. We are
looking forward to deploying this capability in the field."

The Naval Surface Warfare Center awarded the initial TSS production contract
in March 2008. Production will take place at Lockheed Martin's facilities in
Ocala and Orlando, FL. Delivery of the 16 systems contracted will be
completed in 2010.

"We are committed to providing the U.S. Marine Corps with a sensor solution
that provides outstanding value through high performance, reliability and
combat survivability," said Mike Inderhees, director of Turreted Systems at
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "With TSS, Cobra pilots can now
identify a threat from significantly increased standoff ranges, allowing them
to accurately engage the enemy at maximum weapon ranges."

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company
that employs about 146,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the
research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of
advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported
2008 sales of $42.7 billion.
