EAL 4 Certifiable Operating System Enables Lockheed Martin to Meet the Security and Certification Needs Required by U.S., German and Italian Governments

SAN JOSE, CA -- December 02, 2008 -- LynuxWorks(TM), Inc., a world leader in the embedded software market, today announced that Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has selected LynuxWorks' LynxOS®-SE 5.0 and Luminosity 3.0.6 for the company's Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS(TM)), which is designed to replace PATRIOT systems in the United States and Germany and Nike Hercules systems in Italy. The two software applications provide companies with a fast and easy way to create, edit, compile, manage and debug system applications.

LynxOS-SE was chosen in part because it is the first and only time- and space-partitioned, real-time operating system (RTOS) capable of running POSIX®, ARINC-653 and Linux applications simultaneously.

"This is the first time LynxOS-Security Enhanced has been implemented by Lockheed Martin for one of the company's air defense systems," said Gurjot Singh, CEO, LynuxWorks. "LynxOS-SE is designed to help companies meet the stringent security needs and requirements inherent in complex systems."

LynxOS-SE is a POSIX-conformant RTOS designed specifically to fulfill the stringent needs of multi-threaded and multi-process applications in high-performance systems.
