Additionally, we must maintain a consistent tempo of operational excellence. This is our new reality, and in 2010 we took measures that will sustain and strengthen Lockheed Martin’s competitive edge. Our Approach to Delivering Value In 2010, almost 600 executives elected to participate in our Voluntary Executive Separation Program. This 26 percent reduction in our top-level management ranks contributes to a leaner operation and benefits talented individuals in the company who can expect expanded opportunities for growth and development.

Increasingly complex global security issues combined with constrained 2 different mix of services, such as infrastructure support, which is not in line with our strategy or core capabilities. We realigned other business units to consolidate and gain greater efficiency and synergy. We created a new organization within Electronic Systems, Global Training and Logistics, by merging several smaller business units. This will allow us to better respond to the growing requirement for simulation, training, and logistics solutions in support of the war fighter. Our Commercial Space Systems unit was merged into the Global Communications Systems business for a more integrated and affordable approach to operating our commercial and government satellite programs worldwide. Our most painful decisions involved reallocating resources that will result in layoffs. The hard and difficult truth is that in this business climate, infrastructure may have to be consolidated or closed and regrettably that results in job loss. In November, we F-35A Conventional Takeoff and Landing (CTOL) announced the end of manufacturing operations at Middle River, Variant of the Joint Strike Fighter Maryland, effective in 2011 and the closing of our Eagan, Minnesota, facility by 2013.

Additionally, in 2010, Canada and Israel selected the F- 35 as their next-generation combat aircraft. However, given delays on the F-35B Short Takeoff/Vertical Landing (STOVL) variant, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced in January 2011 that he would decouple 3 testing of the STOVL aircraft from the Conventional Takeoff Airspace System.
