VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Northstar Electronics, Inc. (OTCBB:NEIK) announces that Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) awarded a contract to its wholly owned subsidiary, Northstar Network Ltd., for work on the P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft. The contract, called a Master Purchase Order (MPO), has a value of U.S. $6,307,191, covers forty-eight aircraft, and extends to 2012. Individual Purchase Orders for parts are issued under the umbrella of the MPO.
The Company will manufacture components for new production service life extension kits for this Lockheed Martin Service Life Extension Program. These components will add more than 15,000 flying hours to each aircraft, representing 15 to 20 additional years of service for this critical maritime patrol and reconnaissance resource.
Northstar's affiliate, CHC Composites Inc., a division of CHC Helicopter Corporation, will be the key subcontractor on this program.
"Northstar will be responsible for supplying approximately 600 parts and assemblies per aircraft," said Dr. Wilson Russell, CEO of Northstar Electronics. "We will be producing enhanced design components using new and improved corrosion resistant materials."
"Interest in extending the service life of the world's P-3 fleet has increased as a result of the P-3 Structural Life Assessment Program, which revealed the P-3 was accumulating fatigue damage faster than expected," said Rick Kirkland, head of Lockheed Martin's Maritime Surveillance Enterprise. "There are numerous international and U.S. P-3 customers that will require P-3 life extension kits to sustain their aircraft," said Kirkland.
