洛克希德•馬丁公司交付首套AH-1Z直升機的目標瞄準系統


[據美國《洛馬公司網站》2009年6月30日報導] 洛克希德•馬丁公司交付了首套目標瞄準系統（TSS），TSS是為美國海軍陸戰隊的AH-1Z“眼鏡蛇”直升機研製的多感測器的火控系統。

     TSS採用了先進感測器技術，增強了目標採集、跟蹤和識別能力。系統採用的高穩定感測器包括鐳射指示器、彩色電視、第三代中波前視紅外感測器和先進的圖像處理器，能提供高解析度的目標圖像。TSS能使“眼鏡蛇”駕駛員在相當遠的距離識別威脅，並用武器的最大射程精確攻擊目標。

     美國海軍地面戰中心於2008年3月簽訂了TSS的小批量生產合同，在洛克希德•馬丁公司的奧卡拉和奧蘭多工廠生產，共16套系統將於2010年生產完畢。（中國航空工業發展研究中心  黃鐵山）

Lockheed Martin Delivers First Target Sight System Production Unit to The U.S. Marine Corps

ORLANDO, FL, June 30th, 2009 -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] marked the delivery of the first Target Sight System (TSS) production unit at a ceremony held at its Orlando, FL, facility today. The TSS is the multi-sensor fire control system for the U.S. Marine Corps’ AH-1Z Cobra helicopter.

The TSS integrates state-of-the-art sensors, providing Cobra pilots with enhanced capabilities to acquire, track and designate targets. The system provides superior imagery through a highly-stabilized sensor suite that includes a laser designator, color TV and a third-generation, mid-wave, forward-looking infrared sensor with advanced image processing.

"Lockheed Martin has worked hard to deliver a superior targeting system capability for the AH-1Z Cobra,” said Col. Harry Hewson, U.S. Marine Corps Program Manager Air 276. "TSS allows Warfighters to see farther with greater precision, enabling mission accomplishment and safe return to base. We are looking forward to deploying this capability in the field."

The Naval Surface Warfare Center awarded the initial TSS production contract in March 2008. Production will take place at Lockheed Martin’s facilities in Ocala and Orlando, FL. Delivery of the 16 systems contracted will be completed in 2010.

"We are committed to providing the U.S. Marine Corps with a sensor solution that provides outstanding value through high performance, reliability and combat survivability," said Mike Inderhees, director of Turreted Systems at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "With TSS, Cobra pilots can now identify a threat from significantly increased standoff ranges, allowing them to accurately engage the enemy at maximum weapon ranges."
