DALLAS, TEXAS. - November 1, 2004 –
Lockheed Martin [NYSE:LMT] recently completed a successful Captive Flight Test (CFT) of a laser radar (LADAR) seeker with real-time automatic target recognition (ATR) algorithms. The test represented the first time Lockheed Martin has used ATR software developed using the Graphical Entry Distributed Application Environment (Gedae), developed by Gedae, Inc. This software allowed Lockheed Martin to rapidly partition the algorithms to different processors and identify and correct potential processing “bottlenecks” in the software processing flow.
"Our mission is to provide superior weaponry to our warfighters that serves them in their
defining moments,” said Dr. Walter H. Delashmit, systems engineer senior staff at
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “As we continue to evaluate ways of making
our systems more robust and operationally effective, it’s encouraging to have a success
like this using state-of-the-art tools."
The mission of Gedae [‘jE dA] Inc. is to reliably deploy to military personnel the most advanced technology available, which is achieved by automating software development technology. Modern systems at times rely on implementing system complexity in software. Gedae simplifies the development complexity to ultimately enhance the quality of the software.
Gedae, Inc. delivers a software development environment for multithread applications with its multithread compiler and a language also known as “Gedae.” The environment surrounds these core components with a suite of supporting tools to define and implement the threads. Gedae recognizes the architecture of the target and crafts a complex application, using simple software components: highly optimized vector and interprocessor communication routines. This automation means that organizations can build their software early and explore various architectures using simulations or real hardware — never having to rewrite their software.
Headquarted in Bethesda, MD, Lockheed martin employs about 130,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced technology systems, products, and services.
