PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
LMMAR is remaining on course! We
are accustomed to the taste of suc-
cess, and are eager for more! Our
LMMAR Executive Board Leadership
is busy reviewing the years Activity
Plans established in the beginning of
the Administrative Term. We are
practicing the process of Continuous
Improvement. Our challenge is to
maintain a fluid and dynamic plan to
cover known and unknown chal-
lenges. We will maintain our winning
strategy. You are important to
LMMAR. Like a high performance
machine, each part is critical to the
sum of the whole. One small part can
stop the whole machine. You the
members are very critical to the op-(Continued on page 2)

Lockheed Martin Sunnyvale totals
were $70,621.00 for Toys For Tots,
and $183,643.00 for the Second

Bank Director was active collecting funds from Toys For Tots Cookbook sales at
our December LMMAR Holiday Luncheon Dance Party and the Lockheed Martin
Street Faire at Lockheed Martin Sunnyvale. Carolyn also donated her time with
Diana Ruud, LM Space Systems Company Leadership Association Board of Di-
rectors Chair, and the United States Marines visiting the Santa Clara Valley Medi-
cal Center Pediatrics Unit and Children's Burn Center to distribute toys. Carolyn
says, "...it is most rewarding to see the smiles on the young patient's faces."
We thank the United States Marine Corps for all of their help and support at the
Lockheed Martin Sunnyvale events. Let’s look forward to 2010 Toys for Tots and
Second Harvest Food Bank Campaign!

Happy New Year to all!!!
I have received word that Mary
Fancher has been very ill and in and
out of the hospital pretty much these
past months. We are sure she would
love to hear from her LMMAR
friends. We wish her a healthy and
peaceful months ahead. Our thoughts
are with her. Mary can be reached at
656 Rustic Ranch Road, Lincoln, CA,
95648
It was with great sadness to learn of
the passing of Bob Spitler in Au-
gust. Even though there was a won-
derful recognition of his many activi-
ties with LMMAR for so many years,
we want it acknowledged again just
for the record. Just in case the flyer
was not placed in your newsletter or it
was misplaced, again we will notify
our members of his passing.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob
Spitler in person, after several years of
doing the Sunshine column. I had
several conversations over the phone
with him and always pictured him to
be a big, burly man. Funny how you
picture someone just by their voice
and make mental pictures of how
they look. He was a hoot!!! And I am
very sorry for his family in their
loss. He was a very fine man.

Lockheed Martin-Built Trident II
D5 Missile Achieves 130th Con-
secutive Successful Test Flight
SUNNYVALE, Calif., December 29th,
2009 -- The U.S. Navy conducted a
successful test flight Dec. 19 of a Tri-
dent II D5 Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM)
built by Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT).
The Navy launched the unarmed mis-
sile from the submerged submarine
USS ALASKA (SSBN 732) in the Atlan-
tic Ocean.
This test marked the 130th consecu-
tive successful test flight of the Tri-
dent II D5 missile since 1989 – con-
tinuing a 20-year record of reliability
that is unmatched by any other large
ballistic missile or space launch vehi-
cle.
“The professionalism of the entire
Navy and industry team for the Trident
Strategic Weapon System has made
possible the 100-percent mission suc-
cess of the D5 missile in 130 test
flights over 20 years,” said Melanie A.
Sloane, vice president of Fleet Ballis-
tic Missile programs, Lockheed Martin
Space Systems Company, the Navy’s
Trident missile prime contractor.
The Navy launched the missile as part
of a Demonstration and Shakedown
Operation (DASO) to certify USS
ALASKA for deployment, following a
shipyard overhaul period. For the test,
a missile was converted into a test
configuration using a test missile kit
produced by Lockheed Martin that
contains range safety devices and
flight telemetry instrumentation.
First deployed in 1990, the D5 missile
is currently aboard OHIO-class subma-
rines and British VANGUARD-class
submarines. The three-stage, solid-
propellant, inertial-guided ballistic
missile can travel a nominal range of
4,000 nautical miles and carries mul-
tiple independently targeted reentry
vehicles.
Lockheed Martin Space Systems Com-
pany, Sunnyvale, Calif., is the Trident
missile prime contractor for the U.S.
Navy Strategic Systems Programs.
Lockheed Martin Space Systems em-
ployees, principally in California, Geor-
gia, Florida, Washington, Utah and
Virginia, support the design, develop-
ment, production, test, and operation
and sustainment of the Trident Strate-
gic Weapon System. Lockheed Martin
Space Systems has been the Navy’s
prime strategic missile contractor
since the inception of the program
more than 50 years ago.
Lockheed Martin Introduces
IronClad - Secure Computing On
A USB Flash Drive
HERNDON, Va., January 18th, 2010 --
Today’s mobile workforce can now
trade in their laptop for a flash drive,
thanks to an innovative new mobile
computing technology from Lockheed
Martin [NYSE: LMT] and IronKey. The
new IronClad™ USB drive shrinks a
laptop’s hard drive – including the
entire operating system, software ap-
plications, and files – onto a secure
flash drive.
The result is a totally secure “PC on a
stick.” Users on-the-go can plug the
flash drive into just about any com-
puter or laptop in the world, and have
instant, secure access to their own
personal desktop and files. The Iron-
Clad technology runs the operating
system directly off of the flash drive,
meaning the user’s files never touch
the hard drive of the borrowed com-
puter, and the device leaves no trace

that it was ever there. Each IronClad
device is fully encrypted and delivers
hardware-level protection against to-
day’s most insidious malware threats,
including nearly undetectable rootkits.
“Imagine leaving the office at the end
of the day and, instead of slinging a
laptop bag on your shoulder, you tuck
a flash drive the size of a stick of gum
in your pocket,” said Charles Croom,
Lockheed Martin’s Vice President of
Cyber Security Solutions. “With Iron-
Clad drives, employees who need to
work at home or on travel, or field
operatives who deploy around the
country or around the globe, can carry
not just their files but their entire com-
puter on a three-inch USB drive. We’ve
built a smart network around each
drive, so IT managers have round-the-
clock control of and visibility into the
status and security of every device.”
Steve Ryan, senior vice president at
IronKey said, “USB storage devices are
rendered relatively useless without the
proper authentication and security
precautions in place. IronKey is a se-
curity company first and foremost,
and IronClad drives leverage IronKey’s
highly secure architecture design. We
are very pleased to be working with
Lockheed Martin to deliver this
trusted, secure product with hardware-
only password checking, secure virtual
desktop and remote management
capabilities.”
IronClad technology works by integrat-
ing advanced features at the hard-
ware, software, and network levels:
� Rugged, Secure Hardware:
Built on IronKey’s proven se-
cure USB drives, each Iron-
Clad drive includes at least
8GB of 256-bit encrypted stor-
age, wrapped in a rugged,
water- and shock-resistant
metal casing.
� Patent-Pending Mobile Com-
puting Software: Custom
Lockheed Martin technology
lets users run their entire
desktop – from the operating
system to specific applica-
tions and files – directly off of
the USB drive. Built-in ad-
vanced virus protection lets
users plug into any shared or
public computer with confi-
dence.
� Network-Wide Management:
Each IronClad drive is a node
on a centrally-managed net-
work that lets IT organizations
control security policies, keep
watch on each drive, and
carefully manage the applica-
tions that can or cannot be
installed on the drive.
Croom noted that IronClad technology
is envisioned as a key component of
an organization’s cyber security strat-
egy. “Data at the ‘edge’ – carried by
your mobile employees on laptops
and smart phones – is significantly
harder to physically protect than the
data inside the walls of your building,”
he said. “The enterprise management
tools built into each IronClad drive
make it significantly easier to monitor,
control and manage your cyber secu-
rity profile. We envision this system as
a key component of any IT organiza-
tion’s smart, layered cyber security
architecture.”
IronClad technology will be featured
at the 13th Annual Congressional
Internet Caucus Advisory Committee
Kickoff Technology Policy Exhibition,
on January 26, 2010. The Exhibition
will highlight some of the key pointed
issues that will continue to impact
policy-making in the 111th Congress.
The event runs from 5:00 – 7:00 pm
in the Hart Senate Office Building,
Room 902. For more information
