Lockheed Martin Extends IFS Application Use
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
IFS, an enterprise application company, has announced that Lockheed
Martin has decided to extend the use of IFS Applications in the F-35
Joint Strike Fighter Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS).
According to company officials, IFS Applications is currently deployed
in ALIS for supply chain management. Lockheed Martin has now also
selected IFS Applications as the foundation for ALIS maintenance
management capability. The expanded IFS Applications footprint is
expected to be contractually awarded and rolled out in support of the
third Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract of the F-35 Lightning
II stealth fighter, which is planned to be fielded in 2010.
ALIS is an embedded solution that integrates aircraft performance,
operational parameters, aircraft configuration, scheduled upgrades and
maintenance, component history, diagnostics, prognostics, health
management, and service support for the F-35 aircraft.
In July of this year, Lockheed Martin signed a contract to use IFS
Applications to provide the core software for the JAMES Land (Joint
Asset Management Engineering Solution) project for the UK Ministry of
Defense.
"As IFS grows its relationship with important aerospace and defense
companies like Lockheed Martin, and as we become the go-to maintenance
and enterprise asset management solution for government programs like
the US Air Force Expeditionary Combat Support System (ECSS), we
solidify our position as a leader in the aerospace and defense
industry," IFS North America President Cindy Jaudon said. "We have
built this position through developing specialized industry solutions,
specifically in the area of maintenance and logistics, and through
close alliances with well-respected partners like Lockheed Martin. We
look forward to deepening these existing relationships and working with
suppliers to major aerospace and defense OEMs as they equip themselves
for success in today's demanding environment."
