Teen solves centuries-old math problem
ROSSLYN, Va., Dec. 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Coast Guard has contracted Lockheed Martin for the delivery of Ocean Sentry turboprop aircraft with the company's Mission System Pallets technologies.
Under the $147.5 million contract, U.S. company Lockheed Martin will supply the Coast Guard with three of the HC-144A Ocean Sentry aircraft integrated with the MSP electronic suites.
The MSP technology provides HC-144A aircrews with a data sharing capability through sensors, other aircraft and Coast Guard bases, supporting maritime patrol and surveillance operations. Officials say the MSPs also support the secured transmission of classified data.
"The addition of these aircraft and Mission System Pallets to the Coast Guard's fleet will provide significant capabilities for the Coast Guard when responding to critical missions," Mike Fralen, Lockheed Martin Coast Guard aviation lead, said in a statement.
The contract includes the delivery of five total Lockheed Martin's MSPs. The Coast Guard has a fleet of 11 HC-144A aircraft and eight MSPs already in service.
