    Topics:   The Aegis Evolution: Outpacing Emerging Threats

               Doug Wilhelm, director of International Aegis
               programs


              Technology continues to advance and threats
               continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. The
               Aegis Combat System continues to pace the
               threat by the continuous modernization of the
               Aegis Integrated Air and Missile Defense Weapon
               System. First designed to enhance fleet defense
               against other navies, Aegis has evolved into
               the premier naval combat system, globally-
               deployed to counter ballistic missiles and
               other advanced air and missile threats. Aegis
               has grown into a truly international enterprise
               as well, with Australia, Japan, Norway, the
               Republic of Korea and Spain adopting and
               adapting it successfully to their own unique
               needs and ship designs. For more than 40 years,
               Aegis has led technology advancements and
               continues to advance these technologies today
               and into the future.

               hull design flexibility and open architecture
               combat management system, the MCS aligns with
               many partner navies' preference for multi-
               mission, fixed combat systems with the
               flexibility to allocate reconfigurable space
               for use with modular and unmanned systems.

               George Barton, vice president of Business
               Development, Ship and Aviation Systems


              The MH-60R "Romeo" is the most capable and
               mature Anti-Submarine Anti-Surface Warfare
               multi-mission helicopter available in the
               world today. George Barton will discuss recent
               and upcoming milestones for MH-60R programs
               around the globe.

               George Barton, vice president of Business
               Development, Ship and Aviation Systems


              The demand for unmanned systems has grown in
               recent years, and Lockheed Martin offers a wide
               portfolio of aircraft that can adapt to a
               variety of missions in the defense and
               commercial sectors. Rapidly, these systems are
               maturing and becoming more trusted on the front
               line in both combat and surveillance missions,
               as well as commercially in law enforcement and
               agriculture. George Barton will provide an
               overview and program updates of the Lockheed
               Martin portfolio of unmanned aircraft.
