             personnel and Lockheed Martin executives will be available for

Background:  Built principally to support Lockheed Martin Canada's role as
             prime contractor for the Combat Systems Integration (CSI)

             sq. ft MATTS facility will host critical training systems,
             simulation and testing labs, and a new Technology
             Collaboration Centre, that will provide a near-at-sea
             environment for Canadian businesses to test and develop
             solutions to meet the needs of the Canadian Navy. It will be
             the permanent home of Lockheed Martin Canada's Atlantic
             operations and will provide the facilities and resources to
             allow the company to continue and grow on its 25-year legacy
             as the Navy's combat systems integrator.
