Lockheed Martin: Sun and PTC Provide Smooth Sailing for Lockheed

Overview

Lockheed Martin's Naval Electronics and Surveillance Systems (NE&SS)-Surface Systems is Lockheed Martin's Center for Excellence in combat system engineering development, production, integration, test, and lifetime support for naval surface ships. In an effort to provide the cutting edge data sharing required to support the changing needs of the defense customer base in the mid-1990s, Lockheed Martin began to develop it's Integrated Data Environment (IDE). The Solaris operating environment, Sun's high-performance servers, and reliable storage solutions form the basis of the Lockheed Martin collaborative framework. As a central element of the CPC/PLM solution, Windchill provides the underlying technology for the development of robust CPC/PLM applications, which cover the entire product development cycle and integrate the existing IT infrastructure.
