THE NAVY'S NEWEST UNDERSEA BATTLEGROUND BRINGS OUR BEST CAPABILITIES TO THE SURFACE.
Federal Systems brings unmatched capabilities to the tactical challenges of the Littoral, and the technical challenges of integrating the C3I system for the Navy's newest attack submarine - the NSSN.
Performance not promises.
Over 25 years, we've delivered to the USN more than 100 combat systems - the heart of any underseas C3I system. We're also the only prime contractor who has ever delivered to the fleet an integrated combat system for an attack submarine - the AN/BSY-1.
Not only is this combat system in the water, performing as promised, we delivered it on time and at full capabilities.
We also offer unique experience in open architecture and the use of COTS/NDI components. On the AMDS program, for example, we increased processing power by 85X using NDI components while cutting 25% off costs. On the MFAI program, we worked with the Navy to bring down cost estimates by 10X and schedule estimates by 3X through the use of COTS/NDI architecture.
For the NSSN, the Loral team comes with a world class team of experts and capabilities.
But best of all, it comes with a track record of performance.
Not just promises.
What makes the S211A the most suitable primary trainer aircraft? It’s a jet for one. And it’s the smallest, most agile, least expensive of any proposed JPATS jet. But that’s only one part of our Total Training System. We prepare students through a program of academics and computer- based instruction, simulator and procedures training, and of course,
S211A flight training. Each is designed to teach critical piloting skills.
WE TAKE STUDENTS
SIMULATORS, CLASSROOMS,
AND CLOUDS.
We’ve spent the last six years preparing for a mutually supportive, interactive and completely integrated Total Training System. The simple fact is, a well integrated training program will be key to a successful JPATS solution. And no one has more experience integrating systems than we do. NORTHROP GRUMMAN

HOW WE KEEP THE U.S. NAVY AFLOAT.
It’s a known fact that the majority of the earth’s surface is covered by water. What’s not so well-known is that most of that water is covered by Litton. Since the mid-1970’s, Litton’s Ingalls Shipbuilding division has delivered more new surface combat ships to the U.S. Navy than any other shipyard in the U.S. In fact, as a result of Litton’s pioneering modular construction techniques and development of the most advanced 3D computer-aided-design system in use today, Litton has unquestionably revolutionized cost-efficient design, construction and fleet support.
That’s why the U.S. Navy chose Litton as lead shipbuilder for the Aegis guided missile cruiser program. As sole builder of the Wasp-class amphibious assault ships. And to participate in the new Aegis destroyer program. And we’ve become equally well- known in international waters as well, with projects like the three SA’AR 5 Class corvettes constructed for the Israeli Navy.
But the world’s oceans aren’t the only place Litton prevails. Whether it’s navigation and electronic warfare systems for U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force aircraft, or tactical mobile command and control systems - wherever there’s a need for superior defensive hardware and technology, you’ll find Litton on board.

When the GE LM2500 gas turbine engine replaced steam propulsion on the U.S. Navy’s surface combatants, it started a technology revolution.
Twenty years later, the revolution continues. Today, GE builds on the LM2500’s reputation as the most efficient and reliable gas turbine in marine propulsion use.
Current enhancements include the uprate of the LM2500 to 32,000 bhp for Sealift application. As well as the proposed new recuperative cycle LM2500R. All of which go a long way to provide the increased range and overall operational savings today’s fleet demands.
Increased fuel efficiencies. Cleaner emissions. Worldwide support. It’s all ahead full for the GE LM2500.
Well into the 21 st century.

Launchers are tailored for individual ship configurations and provide multiple warfare areas from a single launcher.
MK 41 is the launcher of choice for 7 countries, on 9 ship classes and 101 ships. And MK 41 is growing to accommodate our evolved Seasparrow Quad Pak, which launches 4 missiles per canister — a four-fold increase in firepower — and the Standard Missile Block IV for Theater Ballistic Missile Defense. MK 41 is also ASTER 15/30 capable.
U.S. Navy qualified and supported, MK 41 VLS is combat proven. During Desert Storm, over 250 Tomahawk missiles launched without a single failure. When a VLS equipped ship’s hull was damaged by submerged mines, our vertical launching system was left intact and unscathed.

There are 644 reasons to choose the Super Tucano.
Right now, 644 EMB-312 Tucanos have been sold worldwide: more than all the other JPATS contenders combined. The Tucano’s tremendous popularity can be attributed to the fact that it combines high performance with low acquisition and lifecycle costs. The Tucano allows pilots to train in a tighter flight envelope, which of course means they can perform more maneuvers per sortie than jet alternatives. And RAF experience has shown that pilots who fly Tucanos are more thoroughly prepared for advanced training and jet aircraft because they were able to master more complex maneuvers earlier on.
Tucanos have logged more than 500,000 hours for the RAF, the French Air Force and the air forces of twelve other countries. And in eight countries the Tucano replaced jet trainers. When compared to any contending jet, Northrop Grumman’s Super Tucano, an advanced version of the Tucano, costs less, uses 35% less fuel and requires less than two maintenance hours per flying hour. The bottom line is 25% lower lifecycle costs. Making Northrop Grumman’s Super Tucano the best JPATS value.

The rugged versatility of the SEAHAWK is a result of Sikorsky’s passion for excellence. No compromises. Every rotor and gear, every seam and rivet, every drop of paint, is subject to the closest scrutiny. The design is of the highest quality. The materials are the finest they can be. The process by which they are assembled is the most efficient possible. This constant attention to detail is inspired by an unwavering focus on a clear duty: to serve and protect those in peril on the sea.
The harsher the environment, the bigger the job, the more the Navy
needs the SEAHAWK.
I ft Ronnmoc After a decade of fleet III DCuUIIICo service, the Landing Craft, Air . Cushion (LCAC) will enter the 21st Century
I0ri3 TV as the LCAC Mark II, with markedly improved * performance and an increased life span.
The craft that revolutionized amphibious defense technology will continue to define state-of-the-art by expanding its performance envelope, reducing operating costs as well as crew workload, extending service life and improving combat readiness.
The LCAC’s already legendary performance will be boosted by more powerful engines, added fuel and trim capacity, improved skirts, and a modernized command module. These changes will result in a craft that is faster, more efficient and easier to maintain. But there is more.
When the upgraded LCAC Mark II leaves our facilities, it will match the life span of other assets in the amphibious force that have served us so well in the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Bangladesh, and Haiti. As emphasis increases on naval maneuvers from the sea, the improved LCAC will continue to shine in all its

How
would the ancient mariner cope with a modern cargo
Today’s consested ports and waterways need to move large cargo vessels efficiently and safely. Yesterday’s solutions won’t get the job done. What is required is a sophisticated maritime traffic information system that uses the power of data integration to give you the "big picture” of harbor activity. The Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) 2000 System from Hughes Aircraft Company charts a new course in real-time vessel traffic management With proven COTS technology and an innovative open systems architecture, the Hughes Team combines the large scale systems integration experience and software development expertise needed to successfully create an information system for waterways in the 21st century.
The Hughes VTS 2000...a new era in maritime traffic management.

BEFORE RADAR IT WAS MAN AGAINST THE ELEMENTS
There was a time when a vessel’s information requirements were easily met with an onboard lookout. At least until the fog rolled in. Now, with the advent of sophisticated information- based sensors and distributed data technology, the art of navigation has been revolutionized. The Surface Search Radar (SSR) from Hughes Aircraft Company has taken the basic ARPA features and transitioned them into an integrated navigation system designed to share tactical data with other onboard systems. The SSR’s flexible, modular configuration provides a common family of equipment suitable for small to large ship installations.
The Hughes SSR Team has produced an affordable open architecture system that will help the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy navigate into a new era.

A JOINT SERVICE PROGRAM
A NEW ERA IN AVIATION
The DoD has made the commitment to produce the V-22 Osprey. And with fleet deliveries scheduled to begin before the end of the decade, America and the world will soon be entering a new era in aviation. Its innovative tiltrotor technology gives the V-22 the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft, combined with the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a helicopter. Designed to replace aging and obsolete helicopter fleets, this extraordinary aircraft dramatically reduces the risks inherent in long-range, rapid deployment operations - indicative of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Special Operations Forces. There is an urgent need for this model of multiuse development. No other aircraft can match its versatility, survivability and affordability. The right commitment has been made in producing the V-22 Osprey. Right for America. Right for the world. And right into the 21st century.

P-3 Orion-Guardian of The Seas.
The P-3 Orion is patrolling more hours today than it did during the Cold War.
When conflict breaks out, the P-3 is faster to the world's remote trouble spots, on station longer, and armed to stop forces that threaten the peace, whether they cruise the surface or beneath it. The land-based P-3 adds eyes and ears to freedom's force — blocking distant threats and relaying precise intelligence through secure channels.
The P-3 Orion, the choice of 14 nations for maritime patrol, is the proven and cost-effective force multiplier, keeping naval forces secure and the world's sealanes free.
Congratulations to the newest member of the worldwide Orion community - the Republic of Korea Navy - for the first P-3C aircraft delivered - March 1995.

By Craig Ryan
Back in the 1950s and early 1960s, before liquid-fuel rockets had launched us full sail onto what John Kennedy would call the "new ocean," a smal fraternity of daring, brilliant men made the first exploratory trips into the upper stratosphere to the edge of outer space in tiny capsules suspended beneath plastic balloons. They saw things no one had ever seen and they experienced conditions no one was sure they could survive. This book tells the story of
these brave and tenacious men as they labored on the cusp of a new age. The author captures the drama of their spectacular achievements and many of the other space pioneers who made America's stratospheric balloon programs possible. 368 pages. 21 photos. Notes. Bibliog. Index. #7-7325/$29.95

And nothing makes a first response more decisive
THAN THE HORNET.
Day or night, good weather or bad, the Hornet is the Navy’s first choice for response. With
state-of-the-art avionics, upgraded radar, sensor fusion and advanced electro-optical 1 systems, it delivers every weapon in the Navy’s arsenal. That gives the Hornet a decided advantage in the air, and the Navy a decided advantage in the response. And the next generation’s first flight is just around the corner. The Hornet F/A-18E/F’s even greater range, weapons payload and survivability mean that the Hornet isn’t just the Navy’s most decisive force for today. It’s the most decisive force for the next century too.
