ExecutiveA Quarterly Digest from the Aerospace Industries ReportAssociation 4th Quarter 2014 Orion Hits the Target President’s

2014 OFFICERS Michael T. Strianese, Chairman David L. Joyce, Vice Chairman Marion C. Blakey, President & Chief Executive Officer Time to End Ginette C. Colot, Secretary-Treasurer 2014 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE the Gridlock William M. Brown President & Chief Executive Officer hroughout AIA’s Second to None Campaign, we’ve pointed out the folly of locking Harris Corporation our nation’s security and R&D policy in a fiscal vise for a decade, regardless of the Wes Bush T Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President circumstances we face. Northrop Grumman Corporation Gerald J. DeMuro When the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 was signed into law, ISIS was an unknown President & Chief Executive Officer BAE Systems, Inc. Messageentity. Three years ago Russia hadn’t invaded a neighboring country and committed to Scott C. Donnelly increasing its weapons spending by 85 percent from 2012 to 2017. Back then official Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Textron Inc. Washington was still debating about the reasons for China’s military growth. Yet as The David P. Hess Chairman, International Aero Engines Board of Directors Economist reported last year, China’s neighbors “see the relentless growth in China’s military United Technologies Corporation spending…as going hand-in-hand with a determination to settle sovereignty disputes in its Chief Executive Officer, President & Chairman of the Board ‘near seas’…on China’s own terms.” And three years ago, some experts were convinced cyber Lockheed Martin Corporation attacks were just a nuisance. What North Korean operatives reportedly did in hacking into Raanan Horowitz President & Chief Executive Officer Sony Pictures’ computer systems is just one of many recent disturbing cyber assaults on Elbit Systems of America David L. Joyce U.S. businesses and federal government agencies. Indeed, last October, our Department of President & Chief Executive Officer GE Aviation Homeland Security warned that since 2011 a malware associated with Russian hackers dubbed Thomas A. Kennedy BlackEnergy is being used to attack software used to run power plants and factories. Chief Executive Officer Raytheon Company Today, the public grasps that we’re facing an unprecedented range of threats which require John S. Langford Chairman & Chief Executive Officer a more adequate response than keeping the budget straightjacket on national security Aurora Flight Sciences and R&D spending. This is the central message of a comprehensive Harris Poll voter survey Tim O. Mahoney President & Chief Executive Officer conducted for AIA right after the election. Among key survey findings are the following: Honeywell Aerospace J Thomas S. Marotta Seventy-eight percent of voters believe the hostile activities of ISIS, al Qaeda Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Marotta Controls, Inc. and other groups contesting for control of Syria and Iraq represent an increasing David F. Melcher national security threat. Chief Executive Officer & President Exelis, Inc. J The concern about this threat is bipartisan; 90 percent of Republicans and 69 Dennis A. Muilenburg Vice Chairman, President & Chief Operating Officer percent of Democrats are worried about our security as a result of recent events in The Boeing Company the Middle East. Phebe Novakovic Chairman & Chief Executive Officer J Seventy-three percent say they believe the U.S. is less secure, knowing that cuts General Dynamics Corporation to the military initiated in 2011 amount to nearly $1 trillion over a decade. Michael T. Strianese Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer Majorities of Republicans (90 percent), Independents (71 percent) and Democrats L-3 William H. Swanson (55 percent) hold this view.

Members of Congress and potential presidential candidates should” not ignore the following survey findings: J A solid 69 percent of voters want to increase national security spending, especially relative to the budget caps set over three years ago. This view is shared by a majority of voters across party lines—83 percent of Republicans, 63 percent of Independents and half of Democrats. J The same number of voters—69 percent—say they would be more likely to support a candidate who wants to increase spending on national security. Of those who would be more likely to support such a candidate, 39 percent would be “much more likely” to support that candidate.

These numbers don’t surprise me. I’ve long felt the public strong and secure. And remember, as the BCA is currently understands the need to invest in national security, and the constituted, the defense and domestic programs that are aerospace technologies that propel economic advancement. absorbing the brunt of the pain from the mandated budget As a new Congress begins to organize, policy makers cuts amount to less than 40 percent of the federal budget. should remember that the sequester was never In the months ahead, AIA, its member companies and the supposed to happen; this “poison pill” designed to force growing ranks of aerospace and defense supporters who’ve a comprehensive deal on spending, entitlements and joined our new Second to None Coalition will be keeping revenues kicked in when Congress and the White House the heat up on Congress and the Administration until couldn’t get the job done. they finally come to the bargaining table to lift the budget Fortunately, we’ve heard from many veteran legislators caps for good. At his year end press conference, President and newcomers to Capitol Hill who believe it’s now time to Obama said, “My presidency is entering the fourth quarter. lift the budget caps on defense. That said, we recognize a Interesting things happen in the fourth quarter.” I agree. one-sided deal will not pass in this divided government. There’s plenty of time for official Washington to address Congress needs to also take on the domestic R&D sensibly our nation’s national security, investment and fiscal investment gap and address other domestic priorities, in priorities. Let’s not wait until this fourth quarter is almost the context—as we’ve long contended—of a compromise over and a Hail Mary pass is our only option. deal that also includes revenue and entitlement reforms. Yes, we still must absorb prudent cuts to federal programs in order to address the deficit and debt problem. But these cuts can’t be so draconian that we are unable to invest in Marion C.

EXECUTIVE REPORT  3 Interview with Mike Hawes Lockheed Martin vice president and Orion program Q&A manager, and Chair of AIA’s Space Council

AIA: Congratulations on the spectacular success of the first Orion flight. What are your initial observations about Orion’s performance? It seemed to have flown exactly as planned. Did you learn anything unexpected or surprising? Hawes: We’ll need to perform a complete analysis of components and instrumentation, but real-time data collected during the flight indicates a very clean flight and terrific performance. The insights we’ll gain from Exploration Flight Test (EFT)-1 are invaluable for Orion’s future. We are hopeful that EFT-1 will provide engineers with data about systems critical to crew safety such as heat shield performance, separation events, avionics and software performance, attitude control and guidance, parachute deployment, and recovery operations to validate designs of the spacecraft before it begins carrying humans to new destinations in deep space.

AIA: How does Orion differ in its mission and design from the spacecraft that support crew transport to the International Space Station? Hawes: On Commercial Crew, the industry teams own the spacecraft and provide transport to the ISS as a service to NASA. With Orion, while we’re a blended team, NASA very clearly owns the design and spacecraft, which Lockheed Martin built. Both models feature innovation, and they borrow best practices from each other. For instance, we utilized commercial practices for the EFT-1 launch, providing the launch and the test data to NASA as a service. The blended team model is perfect for Orion. We’re breaking new ground – doing something that’s never been done before – and that takes a united team all working towards a common goal. We’ve driven a number of innovations into the business model. Instead of NASA being only in the oversight role, they are actually providing many portions of the system and mission as in-line services. Flight operations, ground operations, recovery support and parachute development are all examples of in-line NASA functions. Commercial Crew spacecraft are designed and built for different purposes. Commercial Crew capsules are ideally-suited to ferry astronauts to the ISS, which is about 250 miles above Earth’s surface. They’re like regional jets. Orion is built for long hauls; it’s the equivalent of a jumbo jet. To put it in perspective, on EFT-1 we went 3,600 miles out beyond Earth – well beyond the ISS – and the journey to Mars is 35 million miles. It takes nine months to get there. We think of it as part of a complementary NASA fleet of spacecraft that helps them meet their different mission needs. After a successful test flight and splashdown, Orion is ready for recovery.

4  AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION AIA: How well suited is Orion to support a Mars mission? Hawes: We’re designing and building Orion with the capabilities to ultimately get to Mars, and to do so as efficiently and affordably as possible. Orion is a fundamental building block for deep space exploration missions. We know that getting to Mars won’t be easy – it will take investment, international collaboration and technological innovation – but the world gains many pragmatic and aspirational benefits from human exploration of deep space that make this bold mission worth the commitment and investment. No one ever said it would be easy, but things really worth doing rarely are. Orion is the only crewed spacecraft being built to withstand the  punishing journey to other planets. A straight shot, one-way trip to Mars is 35 million miles. That’s about 140,000 times further than the ISS. If you’re going, you want a spacecraft built for long hauls that will safely get you there and back. Orion protects astronauts from dangerous radiation, severe cold  and extreme heat; has smart flight software that navigates in deep space – where there’s no GPS; and eliminates the risk of single point failures through layers of backup systems so astronauts can focus on the mission. Orion gliding over the Pacific Ocean prior to splashdown. AIA: Have we as a nation and as an industry made much progress on human spaceflight technologies and management approaches since the ISS was designed in the 1990s? Hawes: Absolutely. EFT-1 is a significant step forward for America’s space program; it’s our first step on a journey to Mars. We wouldn’t have reached this point if it were not for advances in technology. For example, we assembled the spacecraft in our virtual reality “CHIL” lab, which lets us work out the kinks  and dry run the manufacturing before we hit the production floor – saving time and costs. We’ve got a Launch Abort System with half a million pounds of thrust capable of pulling the crew a mile up and mile away from the launch pad in the event of an emergency. Orion’s life support system is self-healing and advanced enough that even in an emergency loss of pressure, or contamination, it can safely bring its crew home. And in fact we flew parts that utilize “additive manufacturing” (3D printing) on EFT-1.

“We know that getting to Mars won’t be easy – it will take investment, international collaboration and technology innovation – but the world gains many pragmatic and aspirational benefits from human exploration of deep space that make this bold mission worth the commitment and investment.”

AIA: AIA supports the Team America Rocketry Challenge to help inspire and attract the next generation of engineers and technicians for our industry. Do you see Orion having a role in helping to inspire young people to study science and math? Hawes: Programs like Orion are a great way to inspire the next generation of engineers. It’s the reason some of the world’s brightest engineering minds come to work at Lockheed Martin. We live for this kind of project. It’s not just a technological marvel, it’s going to push the boundaries of scientific discovery and human achievement. Many of the space missions that LM undertakes are among the hardest things that humans do. What better way to inspire that next generation than with an amazing program like this?
