Day Light Savings Time is here. Let's get ready for the warm, cheerful, and longer day light hours. Our role model LMMAR Executive Board is always moving in a forward, positive direction. We are not sitting and waiting for success to come to us, we take action! It has been humorously said, a great President is a President who runs a highly successful organization and does nothing. Sometimes we get used to success without recognizing the reality of the people who work to make success happen. (Continued on page 2) PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Dan Tellep, former President of Lockheed Missiles & Space and CEO of Lockheed Corporation attended a Lockheed display at the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum on Thursday, February 18, Approximately 160 Lockheed retirees and employees attended to mix and mingle with Dan, view the Lockheed donated display, the Lockheed memorabilia and the awesome museum, which is a replica of the Martin Murphy House. Julia Miller, former Sunnyvale Mayor, Lockheed retiree and Board member of the museum arranged the event. Dan joined Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Inc. (LMSC) in 1955, shortly after graduating Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1954 and received his M.S. from U.C.

Press Release Lockheed Martin-Built System Aims Laser In Successful Lethal Demonstration Against Ballistic Missile Target EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., February 12th, Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) announced today that the Beam Control/Fire Control system for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency s Airborne Laser Testbed (ALTB) successfully aimed the High Energy Laser beam in an experiment Feb. 11, in which a boosting ballistic missile target was destroyed. In the lethal demonstration, the directed energy system aboard the modified Boeing F aircraft engaged and destroyed the threatrepresentative ballistic missile target shortly after it was launched from a sea-based platform in the Pacific Ocean. The Lockheed Martin-developed Beam Control/Fire Control system focused and directed the beam generated by the Northrop Grumman-developed megawatt-class High Energy Laser, and the Battle Management System developed by Boeing, Airborne Laser Testbed prime contractor, managed the engagement. Shooting down a threatrepresentative ballistic missile target is the latest in a remarkable series of firsts that the government and industry team has achieved in demonstrating this leading-edge technology, said Doug Graham, advanced programs vice president, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. This successful experiment validates the effectiveness of this revolutionary technology and makes it the most mature directed energy system in the world, opening the door to further new possibilities for the application of this technology. The Beam Control/Fire Control System has performed with outstanding results in the most demanding mission to date, said Mark Johnson, Airborne Laser Testbed program director, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. The Beam Control/Fire Control System, which consists of a sophisticated suite of optics, low-energy lasers and software, has been rigorously tested in more than 140 flights since 2004, making technology history all along the way as a result the close partnership and dedication of the government and industry team. The Beam Control/Fire Control System tracks the target, determines (Continued on page 5)
