See the PowerRating of LMT now and learn how it rates on a 1-10 scale. The higher the PowerRating, the greater potential short-term gain based on historical data.
Global security company Lockheed Martin and Adaptive Digital Technologies have inked an agreement to introduce Lockheed Martin’s voice compression technology Time Domain Voicing Cutoff (TDVC) to commercial markets, Lockheed Martin announced on Friday.
The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
According to the company, TDVC is a speech-coding algorithm that delivers high voice quality while operating at lower bit rates than standard voice codecs of comparable quality. It is suitable for voice over Internet protocol wireless communications as well as other markets.
TDVC vocoder was developed for military applications where it provided a low bandwidth, high voice-quality coding scheme to combat harsh communication environments. It is expected to find the same success in the commercial communication arenas due to the continuing need for more bandwidth to accommodate the increasing number of users and data.
Adaptive Digital is a developer of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms and custom solutions for VoIP, telephony, audio and video applications.

QP Semiconductor informed it has been given Preferred Supplier status by Lockheed Martin Corporation. This recognizes QP Semiconductor as a qualified supplier, allowing Lockheed to expand its business relationships with QP Semiconductor for all of Lockheed Martin’s subsidiaries and locations.
The award is for maintaining 100 percent quality performance and 100 percent on time delivery during the past two years in support of multiple Lockheed Martin programs. What is more, the company demonstrated excellent communication with Lockheed Martin as well as consistent annual growth.
“QP Semiconductor’s dedication to excellence coupled with their responsiveness and cooperation with Lockheed Martin makes them an outstanding performer,” informed Teresa Scanlan, director of Risk Management and Technology Development at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “They are a clear choice for the Preferred Supplier Program.”
QP Semiconductor has supported Lockheed Martin on multiple programs leading to receipt of preferred supplier status. This most recently includes the complete re-engineering and on-time delivery of three custom circuit designs. A custom chipset enabled a major Lockheed program to avoid substantial cost increases and schedule delays threatened by obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources (DMS) conditions.
“This award clearly affirms our integrated circuit design expertise in analog, logic and memory, as well as quality and service responsiveness,” said Russ Johnson, president of QP Semiconductor. “It also sets our course toward achieving a far more strategic relationship using our product families to support Lockheed’s core and adjacent markets. With over 400 products successfully re-engineered and 3500 DSCC listings, we are alone in our category with the depth and breadth of products and services needed by companies like Lockheed Martin.”

LGS Innovations, a subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU and Euronext Paris) dedicated to serving the U.S. government community, informed that it was named a subcontractor on the Lockheed Martin team that was recently awarded a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The $31 million Military Network Protocol contract calls for Lockheed Martin to develop new cyber assurance procedures that will improve security, and deliver dynamic bandwidth allocation and policy-based priorities at the individual and unit levels.
The LGS Internet Research Department will work as a part of the Lockheed Martin’s Infrastructure team whose goal is to define, design, develop, and test the common elements used in the DARPA solution.
“Our country’s increasing dependence on information technology has made cyber security one of the most critical challenges facing the U.S. military today,” informed Dom Imbesi, Director Internet Research Department at LGS. “LGS is pleased to be a part of Lockheed Martin’s strong team working to address and solve these challenges.”
In developing this new protocol for military networks, Lockheed Martin’s team will develop router technologies that will include strong authentication and self-configuration capabilities to improve security, reduce the need for trained network personnel and lower overall life cycle costs for network management.
The Internet Research Department is the R&D division of LGS dedicated to the fields of Computer Network Operations (CNO) and Information Assurance (IA). The department has a rich heritage of achievement as formerly being a part of the renowned Bell Labs and can utilize the technical expertise and resources of Bell Labs to provide cutting-edge ideas and technology to solve today’s toughest cyber security problems. The LGS capabilities run the full spectrum of CNO activities: Network Reconnaissance, Host Fingerprinting, Attack Planning, Payload Delivery, and Battle Damage Assessment. The department also performs leading-edge Information Assurance research and development with a specific focus on mission assurance, external exposure assessment and predictive analysis.
