ORLANDO, Fla., March 8th, 2010 -- A Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT)-led team received a U.S. Navy contract to continue development of an automated logistics system that will help Marines plan and re-evaluate missions based on real-time battlefield data.

In Phase II of the Sense and Respond Logistics program, Lockheed Martin and its partners will develop and refine the information architecture prototype designed and delivered to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) under a Phase I contract. Phase II work will serve as the foundation for a decision support capability that will combine mission planning information with data from networked sensors on vehicles and other assets in the battlefield. The ability to combine plans with real-time data will speed up many aspects of planning and assessment, support the decision-making process for moving people and equipment to accomplish missions and help evaluate options, develop alternatives, and review the impact of decisions on other parts of the plan.
