WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M., July 30, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- NetFires

LLC, a joint venture between Raytheon Company's (NYSE: RTN) Missile Systems

and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Missiles and Fire Control, successfully

launched another Non Line-of-Sight-Launch System Precision Attack Missile

(PAM) July 22.

"The success of Control Test Vehicle-2, CTV-3 and CTV-4 allows us to

conclude the first phase of controlled test flights," said Scott Speet,

executive vice president of NetFires LLC and Raytheon's NLOS-LS program

director. "NLOS-LS is now ready to begin the guided flight test phase in

September."

To prove the missile's stability during flight, the test stressed the

airframe to its limits using high-gravitational force maneuvers. The PAM

joined the network after launch and operated as a node on the net

throughout the flight using its onboard radio.

"The success of CTV-4 demonstrates the robustness of the PAM, which is

designed to meet the warfighter's needs," said Col. Doug Dever, the U.S.

Army's NLOS-LS project manager. "This advanced weapon system gives the

commander a platform-independent system solution that provides organic,

precision indirect fire support to the brigade combat team."
