JASSM for FiAF

Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) Receives JASSM Contract for Integration

Lockheed Martin received a $5.1 million Foreign Military Sale contract from the U.S. Air Force
to support integration of the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) onto the Finnish Air Force (FiAF) F-18C/D aircraft
The contract is for the first phase of a six-year effort of software development and aircraft integration support.

Additional contract awards are expected for remaining phases of integration support, missile procurement and post-production support.

Finland is the second international customer for JASSM,
following the Commonwealth of Australia, which became the first export customer in February 2006.

JASSM plays a critical role in giving allied warfighters the operational flexibility, reliability
and effectiveness necessary to complete their missions
/Alan Jackson, director of strike systems in Lockheed Martin's Missiles and Fire Control business/

JASSM integration will coincide with the FiAF Mid-Life Two upgrade of their F-18 aircraft.

The U.S. Navy will lead the integration effort in coordination with the U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin and the FiAF.

Integration activities will take place at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division in China Lake, California

The award aligns with the recent JASSM Production Lot 10 procurement contract to employ economies of scale,
reducing cost for both the U.S. Government and Finland.

JASSM on the F-18C/D enables Finland to fulfill its regional defense role,
as well as its European community and
North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) Partnership for Peace responsibilities.

The contract award follows several recent JASSM program milestones,
including the Lot 10 contract award, certification of JASSM on the Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18
and successful integration on the U.S. Air Force F-15E.

JASSM is an autonomous, air-to-ground, precision-guided standoff missile
designed to meet the needs of U.S. and allied warfighters.

Armed with a penetrator and blast fragmentation warhead,
JASSM cruises autonomously, day or night in all weather conditions.

The missile employs an infrared seeker and
enhanced digital anti-jam Global Positioning System to find specific points on targets.

The stealthy JASSM is integrated on the U.S. Air Force's
B-1, B-2, B-52, F-16 and F-15E.

Internationally, JASSM is certified on the F/A-18A/B for the Royal Australian Air Force.

Future integration efforts will focus on the U.S. and international versions
of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft and other international platforms.

~ Forestry and UAS

Forestry Industry benefits from UAS Technology
Forestry is one industry where researchers, service providers, and land and business owners
are determining the applications and circumstances that are best suited for UAS operations.

The goal for these early adopters (of UAS technology) is to achieve the same level of accuracy
as with traditional methods of collecting the imagery and data
while reducing operating costs, minimizing risk and safety concerns, and
improving the overall quality of the information that is gathered.

The applications with the highest potential gains are
where a manned aircraft is used to gather data on small to medium areas of land.
Typically, several repetitive flights are required for periodic measurements
that tend to be tedious, potentially unsafe and expensive.

Similarly, using traditional ground survey techniques,
ground crews are required to walk across potentially hazardous terrain and
they rely on daylight hours and good weather to capture the data effectively.

The cost of the overall project can, therefore,
increase with the unpredictable nature of the working environment.

Forestry professionals are starting to benefit from surveys and other tasks performed by UAS in the following areas:

Inventory volumes
� Piles of chips in mill yards and pre and post-harvest tree inventories
can be tracked and measured frequently to ensure business models are up-to-date,
as well as meet industry and government regulations.

Timber reconnaissance to verify the conformity of a cutting area.

Determine tree species, height growth curves and restocking of harvested cutblocks
that must meet government silvicultural standards.

Establish relevant forest management plans.

Check for open bodies of water before the spread of herbicides to prevent water contamination.

Health of a stand by identifying stressed trees and/or damage
from insects and other pests Landslides and slope stability

Wind throw (blow down) event and mapping

Fire management and response
� Specific sensors can assist in searching for hot spots on the ground
that indicate residual smoldering fires after a prescribed burn or
when forested area is dry and forest fires are a concern.

Nokia with the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority for UAS in Dubai

Nokia and the United Arab Emirates General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) entered into a strategic collaboration
to drive the development of an end-to-end UAS ecosystem
to make the UAE the first country in the world to allow the operation of drones
by both businesses and government agencies in a safe, secure and managed environment.

The project is part of an initiative by the GCAA
to make Dubai one of the world's smartest cities by 2017, and
will allow Dubai government security network operator Nedaa
to develop a next generation network for mission-critical and
smart city services within the GCAA regulatory framework.

Nokia's UAV Traffic Management (UTM) concept is being developed
to manage drones in and around cities, and
coordinate their interactions with people, manned aircraft and an increasingly diverse array of connected objects.

Nokia UTM system to provide capabilities such as automated flight permissions,
no-fly zone control and beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS)
that are critical for the safe operation of UAVs in densely populated urban areas.

The ecosystem to serve as a testing ground for various applications of drone technology,
which can be explored in a safe and controlled environment.

Drones seen quickly emerging as important tools for businesses and governments alike,
providing substantial benefits such as infrastructure monitoring and maintenance,
public safety applications, logistics and transport and many more.

GCAA has launched this initiative so businesses and local government can take advantage of these benefits,
making the city smarter while minimizing any hazards that UAVs may present.

Nokia's UTM concept combines its expertise in 4G LTE and
skills in developing 5G and Mobile Edge Computing and related services
- including managing the Network Operations Center,
planning and optimizing the network for UTM connectivity and
integrating UTM to other application platforms -
to provide a platform that can support the extreme low latency and
exceptional reliability and resiliency needed to manage UAV traffic.

The system is to monitor airspace and flight paths, and
share data between UAVs, operators and air traffic controllers and
establish no-fly zones that can be continually refreshed with the latest data.

Agreement complemented Nokia's initiative to establish and develop a UAV test facility at Twente Airport in the Netherlands.

Bernard Najm is the head of the Middle East Market Unit at Nokia.
UAVs are expected to play a critical role by supporting a wide variety of smart city services.
Collaboration with the GCAA expected to give a unique and extensive test bed
to try and refine UAV Traffic Management system.

Ismaeil Mohammed Al Blooshiis Assistant Director General of the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority.
Claiming to be the number 1 aviation industry in the world with regard to safety standards,
the UAE expects superb aviation infrastructure and
to qualify to play a key role in innovative aviation projects such drone collaborations.

Nokia Starts Drone Testing at Twente Airport
Nokia signed an agreement with Space53.
Space53 is a test- and development centre for drones.
Nokia to move to Twente and test drones on the airport premises in Enschede.
Several hundred thousands of euros to be invested.
Nokia's systems ensure that drones can recognise eachother through air space,
using GPS and a 4G connection.
Nokia wants to further develop their systems throughout Europe.
Nokia chose Twente because of the location of Space53 and the knowledge institutions.

The establishment of a drone development, training and test centre
is in line with the recommendations in the HSD Report on Drones,
which calls for cooperation between drone developers and
the government in order to strengthen business opportunities and thus the national economy.
Airport Twente has excellent facilities for training, testing and simulation flights with drones.
