MOORESTOWN, NEW JERSEY – December 17, 2008 – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has awarded Parvus a $700,000 contract to develop, test and supply a pre-production ruggedized version of the Cisco Aironet wireless access point for Zumwalt, the U.S. Navy’s lead ship of next-generation destroyers.

Under the contract, Parvus will repackage Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) Cisco Aironet technology to meet unique harsh environmental and electromagnetic interference/ electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) conditions onboard the destroyer to provide secure Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) network connectivity for the crew. Parvus will qualify the equipment to MIL-STD-810F, MIL-STD-461E and other military standards, as specified by the Navy, to ensure reliability under various adverse conditions.
