Lockheed Martin and Fixmo Offer New Level of Security Authentication for Mobile Devices Industry Leaders in Mobile Security Set to Demo New Capabilities at RSA Conference ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, Md., Feb. 20, 2013 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Fixmo, Inc. have integrated technologies to provide a new level of secure authentication for consumer grade mobile devices with unparalleled ease of use by joining forces with Fixmo’s SafeZone™ and Lockheed Martin’s Mandrake SG™ technology. This new ‘Secure Gesture’ capability will be featured in demonstrations at the RSA conference in San Francisco Feb. 25 – March 1 at booths 0135 and 341. Fixmo SafeZone™ is a defense-grade secure workspace solution for iOS and Android devices that keeps all corporate email, browsing, documents and applications encrypted, contained, and under IT control no matter who owns the device. Lockheed Martin’s Mandrake SG™ technology will enable smartphone and tablet users to authenticate into Fixmo SafeZone™ with a simple, user-defined gesture, which has been proven to be more secure and far easier to use than a 14-character complex, randomly generated password. “We’re eager to share this capability with current and new customers with high security requirements who are seeking an innovative and user friendly solution,” said Darrell Durst, Vice President for Lockheed Martin’s Cyber Solutions line of business. “This collaboration brings the best of our technology together to enable secure and compliant mobile computing in the workplace without compromising the end-user experience or regulatory requirements.” By integrating Lockheed’s Mandrake Secure Gesture capabilities into the Fixmo SafeZone secure workspace, Fixmo can now enable business users and government employees to easily switch contexts between the personal and business sides of the device while ensuring the integrity and identity of the user. “Our customers in both the public and private sector are looking for no-compromise solutions to enable smartphones and tablets to be used for highly sensitive, mission critical business applications and content,” said Bruce Gilley, President of Fixmo U.S. “Through our collaboration with Lockheed Martin, we can now protect all business apps and sensitive data on mobile devices with some of the most powerful multi-factor authentication technology that we’ve seen to-date—without requiring the user to remember a highly complex passcode or carry additional hard tokens or smartcards.”

Raytheon's INTEROP-7000 uses ISSI to link IPbased voice communications with legacy radios Demonstration to be held at International Wireless Communications Expo LAS VEGAS, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) will demonstrate the new ISSI capability of its INTEROP-7000™ Interoperability Gateway at the International Wireless Communications Expo in Las Vegas. The P25 ISSI (Inter RF Subsystem Interface) adds another dimension to Raytheon's interoperability gateways that allow police, fire and rescue personnel on disparate radios to communicate with one another using their current equipment. "Interoperable communication among first responders is paramount during emergency situations," said TJ Kennedy, director of Public Safety and Security for Raytheon's Network Centric Systems business. "Raytheon's new INTEROP-7000 Interoperability Server can connect first responders now, allowing the continued use of existing hardware while providing agencies the flexibility to choose their own timeline for upgrading equipment." Raytheon's P25 ISSI capability helps move the radio gateway concept beyond the donor radio approach, bringing in P25 users directly via Internet Protocol.

Raytheon's dual-band datalink tested with Thales radar Success broadens Europe's ballistic missile defense options DEN HELDER, Netherlands, March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) tested its company-funded dual-band datalink with a Thales Nederland Advanced Phased Array Radar (APAR). The test took place at a shore-based Dutch facility and marked a key step toward enabling more European ships to employ the full range of missiles within the Standard Missile family, including the Standard Missile-3. "Right now, few of Europe's naval ships can participate in the 'upper tier' ballistic missile defense of NATO countries because their radars cannot communicate with the SM-3," said Wes Kremer, vice president of Air and Missile Defense Systems for Raytheon Missile Systems. "A common datalink that operates with both X- and band radars is a very affordable, near-term solution that allows Europe to take advantage of proven technologies available today."
S-
Using both sending and receiving signals, the test validated the ability of the dual-band datalink to communicate with the APAR X-band radar, which is part of a radar suite used by the Danish, Dutch and German navies. Integrating a dual-band datalink into any of the Standard Missiles is a 'drop in' replacement for the current hardware. "The dual-band datalink has significant implications for our U.S. Navy customers as well, because it allows them to save money by eliminating the need to maintain two separate inventories of Standard Missiles for the Zumwalt (X-band) and Aegis (S-band) ship classes," said Kremer. About the Dual-Band Datalink
In 2009, a joint U.S.-Netherlands study concluded SM-3 could be integrated with the Signaal Multibeam Acquisition Radar for Tracking-L and Advanced Phased Array Radar (SMART-L/APAR) sensor suites, providing non-AEGIS ships a viable missile defense capability.

Northrop Grumman, ATK Complete Primary Mirror Backplane Support Wing Assemblies for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope REDONDO BEACH, Calif., March 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) and teammate ATK (NYSE:ATK) have completed the fabrication of the primary mirror backplane support structure (PMBSS) wing assemblies for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Northrop Grumman is under contract to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., for the design and development of the Webb Telescope's optics, sunshield and spacecraft. The primary mirror backplane supports the telescope's beryllium mirrors, instruments and other elements during ground test operations and launch. It holds the 18-segment, 21-footdiameter primary mirror nearly motionless while the telescope is peering into deep space. The deployable wing sections complete the backplane structure while providing thermal stability. Their unique folding design permits the telescope to fit in the five-meter fairing of the launch vehicle. "Our ATK teammates have met unprecedented thermal stability requirements," said Charlie Atkinson, deputy Webb Optical Telescope Element manager for Northrop Grumman. "The team has done a commendable job of completing the PMBSS wing assemblies." Measuring approximately 24 by 21 feet, and weighing more than 2,000 pounds, the primary mirror backplane support structure – which includes the wing assemblies as well as the center section that ATK completed in February 2012 –must meet unprecedented thermal stability requirements. While the telescope is operating at a range of extremely cold temperatures, from -406 to -343 degrees Fahrenheit, the backplane must not vary more than 38 nanometers (approximately 1/1,000 the diameter of a human hair). For reference, if the mirror were enlarged to span from Los Angeles to New York City, the tolerance for error would be less than 1 inch. The wing assemblies of the Webb Telescope's primary mirror backplane support structure were designed and fabricated and will be tested at ATK facilities in Magna, Utah. ATK designed and built the 900 composite parts of the wing assembly using lightweight graphite materials and advanced fabrication techniques. The composite parts attach to precision metallic fittings that provide interfaces with the other elements of the observatory.

CACI International Inc. CACI Overview CACI provides information solutions and services in support of national security missions and government transformation for Intelligence, Defense, and Federal Civilian clients. Doing Business With CACI CACI is an information technology solutions provider. Small business subcontracting requirements principally arise under our U.S. government contracts for large scale software design and development, enterprise business process improvement, intelligent document management, information assurance, network management and logistics engineering services. CACI subcontracts are generally focused on delivery of a specific end product. They are not simply to provide personnel to supplement CACI's or its clients' staffs or to furnish equipment or software solely as a distributor or reseller. Many of our federal contracts require CACI to have identified our small business subcontracting partners and their roles in advance of the prime contract award. Accordingly, CACI rarely has a large volume of unfilled requirements for which we have not yet identified qualified small bu siness sources at competitive prices. Subcontracting Guidelines 


CACI does not regularly procure or sell to others high volume, generic staff augmentation, leased personnel or contract programming services. When a particular skill set is required beyond existing CACI resources the responsible Program Managers in our operating groups identify and qualify subcontractor sources for limited term, specialized staff supplementation. Our acquisition personnel do not centrally manage these requirements - they are highly decentralized and project specific. Our contract operations do not require us to routinely purchase standard commodities in large quantities for resale or to regularly acquire, install or maintain ADP or telecommunications equipment of any brand name. When required, such items, including standard office supplies, are usually acquired directly from the manufacturer. We do not design, manufacture, assemble or construct mechanical equipment, production electronics, machinery, weapons platforms or building structures of any kind.

The questionnaire is administered electronically through E-TASC, an IT platform for companies to effectively implement a standards-based approach for improving supplier conformance to standards related to labor, health, safety, ethics and environmental activity. In addition to helping HP evaluate risk, self-assessments help suppliers become more familiar with HP’s expectations of what it means to conform to HP’s Electronic Industry Code of Conduct. HP will review the results of the selfassessment and provide feedback, and suppliers will create and implement an improvement plan, if required. Requirements Supplier represents and warrants that it will: 1. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations and require their suppliers to do the same (including labor agencies) 2.

HP Supplier Portal The HP Supplier Portal is HP's single point of entry for HP suppliers, business partners and vendors to access HP content, services, applications and tools. It will replace all other externalfacing HP portals and web sites for Business partner collaboration. Anyone who has access to the public internet can access the HP Supplier portal public pages. Users can learn more about the portal and read HP unrestricted information. However, the real value of the portal is contained within the secured pages. To access services with information classified as HP Confidential, a Business Partner company must complete a Business Partner Internet Authentication (BPIA) agreement with HP. Individuals with the company may then obtain an HP owned digital certificate from their internal approvers, per the HP Delegated Administration model of user management, to access the Supplier Portal. Alternately and for the less security stringent services, HP Restricted or lower, the portal offers the ability to register and sign-in to such secure pages using User ID and password. The HP Supplier Portal provides access to secure content/services protected by two independent authentication models. The first is the digital certificate model (Class B Authentication), which handles HP Confidential data and requires your company to sign a BPIA legal agreement with HP. The second is the User id and Password model (Class C Authentication), which handles HP Restricted data and requires users to sign a separate CDA/NDA. Users must contact the HP service/content owner to find out which of the authentication models they need to use.

HP expects to field more than 150,000 calls per month. All contacts made via the call center will be managed using Microsoft® Dynamics CRM, Microsoft's customer relationship management solution, to ensure call center workers have access to relevant information about the process and applicants.

for
PALO ALTO, Calif. — HP today announced that Teradyne, a developer and supplier of automatic test equipment, has selected HP FlexNetwork architecture to improve operational efficiency, reduce network downtime and boost design-phase efficiency for new products. Teradyne designs and manufactures automatic test equipment for the world’s leading electronics companies. It relies on complex, bandwidth-intensive applications to run its business. As the company grew, its legacy network strained under the expanding load of project design and simulation applications, creating a bottleneck in production. “Rapidly delivering new products to market is critical to maintaining a competitive edge, which led us to seek a partner that would help us keep pace with the ever-changing technology market,” said Frank Spiridigliozzi, director, Information Technology, Teradyne. “In just one weekend, HP redesigned our network environment to eliminate disruptions, while reducing our network total cost of ownership by 35 percent.” The redesign of its network to enable virtualization has allowed Teradyne to eliminate network silos by unifying its servers and storage infrastructure. As a result, Teradyne engineers could speed the time needed for simulations and quickly deliver projects with improved accuracy. “Prior to implementing the HP FlexNetwork architecture, our IT staff had to shut down our network for maintenance, resulting in14 hours of lost productivity annually,” said John O’Brien, Technology and Tools Group, Teradyne. “Today, our IT staff can perform the necessary maintenance without impacting the productivity of our engineers, which translates into a $350,000 savings per year.” Teradyne worked closely with HP Elite partner CompuCom Systems Inc, a Dallas-based outsourcing specialist and provider of network integration services, to architect and conduct a “proof of concept” (POC) on the technology platform.

Harris Corporation Authorized to Connect Veterans Affairs and DoD Electronic Health Record Systems MELBOURNE, FL/WASHINGTON, March 4, 2013 — Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has been authorized to deploy a solution that enables the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to share electronic health records. The authorization represents a major milestone in one of the world's most ambitious efforts to integrate health information, involving two major healthcare systems that are pioneers in electronic medical record keeping. Harris completed the Critical Design Review process and achieved Authorization to Operate for the initial deployment of the Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) suite that will support information sharing between the VA and the DoD. The SOA will enable new types of clinical collaboration and integration of legacy data in standard interfaces that help users to exchange information in real time, without needing to change source data or displays. The Authorization to Operate enables Harris to deploy the solution in facilities in San Antonio, Texas and Hampton Roads, Virginia. The rollout approach helps to optimize the capability before deploying it more broadly to VA and DoD facilities worldwide. This authorization milestone is part of a multi-year, $80 million healthcare integration contract awarded to Harris in March 2012. The contract helps the VA and DoD streamline administration and record keeping, exchange health information, contain costs, track and manage care and enhance outcomes for millions of active duty and retired military personnel and their families. The VA and DoD have a complex suite of healthcare information systems, as well as two hundred local data centers. The SOA Suite provides a single solution for the two agencies. It will integrate existing and future systems, applications and medical data utilizing state-of-art Commercial Off-the-Shelf and Open Source technologies to provide secure, reliable, and highperformance implementation for health record data exchange across the DoD and VA healthcare systems.
