Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) and Patria announced today a
teaming agreement to offer the US Marine Corps Patria's
Advanced Modular Vehicle (AMV) to compete for the Corp's

for proposals during the second quarter of 2008. Lockheed
has expanded its military vehicle offering with the recent
introduction of a company funded, production ready JLTV
technology demonstrator, as well as prime movers and command
vehicles for the USMC, and a rocket carrier and an improved
Warrior combat fighting vehicle, both considered for future
British army programs.
