After years of development, Lockheed Martin completed the first flight build of its new Multi-mission Modular (MM) Solar Array. This new flexible array advances Lockheed Martin’s significant heritage flying flexible arrays on such programs as the International Space Station and a constellation for the U.S. Air Force. The new design is a major component of Lockheed Martin’s multi-year modernization of its LM 2100 satellite bus, which is part of its newly-enhanced family of buses. The MM Array incorporates three key features in the satellite design: higher power, less mass and compact stowage, and all of this enables satellite designers to better meet customers’ growing power needs. This compact flexible array design delivers 50 percent more power than previous rigid array designs at 30 percent less mass.  “The new arrays can generate 20 kilowatts of energy in orbit, enough to power an entire home.  These new arrays deliver enough energy for even the most advanced communicati

Airbus Helicopters has presented VNH South with an award celebrating its 30 years of flying Airbus helicopters in offshore missions. “We are honoured to recognize VNH South for their dedication and to highlight our longstanding partnership,” said Guillaume Faury, President and CEO of Airbus Helicopters. “They have placed their trust in a variety of our helicopters for more than three decades, and we commend their unwavering commitment not only to their operations but to the entire oil & gas community.” VNH South became Vietnam’s very first helicopter operator when it began in 1986 with a Puma. Its reputation began to grow, particularly within Vietnam’s burgeoning oil & gas industry, and the company is now one of the leading helicopter service providers in South East Asia, operating four AS332 L2s, two H155s, and four H225s. “Airbus Helicopters and VNH South have always worked closely together to support safe and continued offshore operations in our region, and we

Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX:RHHBY), today announced the launch of the NAVIFY Tumor Board solution, a clinical workflow and decision support software that optimises decision-making for cancer patient case reviews in tumor boards, or multi-disciplinary team meetings. The solution fundamentally changes the way these meetings are organised and conducted. It is initially available in the US, UK, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. Tumor board coordination is labour intensive and time consuming for health care providers with patients’ medical history, biomarkers, tumor information, radiology images, microscope slide images, pathology reports, and electronic medical record notes frequently having to be collected and organised manually. The new NAVIFY Tumor Board solution streamlines and standardizes workflows by aggregating relevant patient data from these disparate sources into a workflow software solution that facilitates efficient team collaboration, reduces errors, and give

 Secretary of the Navy, The Honorable  Richard V. Spencer , visited with more than 400 employees while touring the Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Sikorsky MH-60R "Romeo" operations on  Sept. 29 . "It's a privilege for me to be standing in front of you all because you deliver an amazing ingredient to America's freedom," Secretary Spencer said in his address to employees. "You all are making the products that let us deliver the fight." Spencer visited to view first-hand the advanced technology and innovation that experts consider the most capable and mature Anti-Submarine (ASW)/Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) multi-mission helicopter available in the world today. During the life of the program, the U.S. Navy has employed 260 MH-60Rs, garnering more than 500,000 flying hours.
