Lockheed
Martin is the premier
defense contractor for the United States and an employer of 125,000 people
including thousands of engineers.
The name Lockheed Martin evolved from a merger of Lockheed
Corporation and Martin Marietta Corporation in 1995. With specialization
in aeronautic, integrated and space systems as well as numerous technology
services, Lockheed Martin is leading the way in assuring that America
continues its domination in the world of defense technology.
They claim over ¾ of its contracts from the United States
government with reported 2002 sales approximated at $26.6 billion.

In an effort to reach out to engineering students and
spark interest in defense technology, Lockheed frequently sponsors student
design projects. Arnaldo Santiago, a Simulation
H/W Design Associate Manager at
Lockheed Martin, has chosen to sponsor a senior design project for the
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering proposing the next generation Small Arms
Transmitter (SAT). In doing
this, Arnaldo seeks to use the creative imaginations of engineering
students to originate a more durable, aesthetic and overall enhanced
design for the next generation Small Arms Transmitter. |
