Lockheed Martin is participating in a Tech Exposition at the 50th Anniversary of ICBMs Symposium and Commemoration Oct. 7 to 9 at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo. The symposium commemorates the U.S. Air Force's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) force being on alert since Oct. 31, 1959, and its continuing role as an enduring deterrent.

"Lockheed Martin is proud to have been involved in supporting every Air Force ICBM program to date," said Doug Graham, vice president of advanced programs, Strategic and Missile Defense Systems, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company. "Our commitment to providing the highest quality support for the operational ICBM force remains as strong today as it was at the inception of the program."

Lockheed Martin has continuously supported the Air Force's ICBM mission since the beginning, as the developer of the Atlas, Titan, MX Peacekeeper and Small ICBMs, and as the provider of reentry systems for multiple ICBM generations and of ground command and control systems for today's Minuteman III.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2008 sales of $42.7 billion.
