Techsystems (NYSE: ATK), Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LM) and the Northrop
Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) announced that they have signed a teaming
agreement to jointly pursue the emerging market for advanced capability
multi-role weapons. This team provides any potential customer in this

and price available. This is achieved through the integration of the
capabilities that the team provides across sensors, automatic target
recognition, guidance navigation and control, air vehicles, propulsion,
lethality, survivability, mission planning, platform integration, system
engineering, and program management.
