Lockheed Martin Selects ImageLinks Products For F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Engineering Development Tool Suite and F/A-22 Pilot Training MELBOURNE, Florida, December 1, 2003 – ImageLinks, a leading provider of imagery solutions for visualization and simulation applications, has been selected by Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT) to provide high-resolution satellite imagery products that will be used in engineering development simulators for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) and flight training simulators for the F/A-22 Raptor.The announcement was made today during the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC), Orlando, Florida, December 1-4, 2003 (ImageLinks Booth #120). ImageLinks will provide its multi-resolution, cross-sensor TrueTerrain imagery products of large areas covering Southwest Asia, Eastern Europe, the Southwestern United States, Texas, and the Northeastern United States.When incorporated into flight simulators, this true-color, geo-specific imagery allows pilots to experience flying the aircraft over a specific geographic area without leaving the ground – ultimately resulting in enhanced mission awareness, understanding and safety.The company already provides Lockheed Martin with geo-specific imagery used in several of their training simulators. “We are very pleased that Lockheed Martin has selected us again to be part of this important program,” said Scott Bennett, vice president of sales for ImageLinks.“Our TrueTerrain products are playing an expanding role in visualization and simulation applications and we are excited by the opportunities afforded in this fast-growing market.” ImageLinks’ TrueTerrain products are created using ImageLinks’ Virtual Sensor technology, which merges and mosaics multi-source, multi-resolution satellite and aerial imagery – from 3 inches to 100 meters – with digital elevation data.These realistic, geo-specific, 3-D terrain models are orthorectified, seamlessly co-registered, tonally balanced, blended and feathered into a single mosaic. For the JSF project, ImageLinks will utilize data from a variety of sensors to create the final imagery products.Sources of data include LANDSAT, QuickBird, SPOT, IRS, IKONOS, and aerial data. The supersonic, multi-role F-35 will lay the foundation for U.S.and allied air superiority in the 21st Century.It is designed to replace the F-16, F/A-18, A-10 and AV-8 Harrier aircraft.The F/A-22 Raptor stealth aircraft will replace the F-15 Eagle. ImageLinks is a multi-faceted geosolutions technology company offering all types of geospatial data and image processing services, advanced automated software technology, and custom software development.The company seamlessly blends data from multiple original sources to create the terrain-corrected, customized products that meet the specific needs of clients.For more information, visit http://www.ImageLinks.com.
