About the K-MAX UAS Team Lockheed Martin’s Mission Systems and Sensors facility in Owego, NY is the Corporation’s rotary wing center of excellence. The company has more than 35 years of experience as a leading mission systems integrator of rotary wing aircraft, including the British Royal Navy’s Merlin Mk 1 helicopter fleet and two generations of U.S. Navy helicopters, the SH-60B and MH-60R. In keeping with its world-class systems integration status, the Owego site has achieved CMMI® Level 5 for systems K-MAX® Unmanned Aircraft System engineering, software engineering, integrated product and process development, and Optionally Piloted Cargo Lift Helicopter for the Warfighter supplier sourcing. Kaman Aerospace Corporation is a division of Kaman Corporation, located in Bloomfield, CT and does business as a prime helicopter manufacturer; a subcontractor for aircraft structures and components; designs and manufactures safe, arm and fuzing devices for bombs and missile systems; and is a leading manufacturer of specialty bearings for commercial and military aircraft. Kaman Helicopters, a division within Kaman Aerospace, conducts business in the engineering, manufacturing, and support business for their K-MAX and SH-2G helicopters, as well as designing and manufacturing of components for other prime helicopter manufacturers.
