Lockheed Wins Aussie Rail

Lockheed Martin has received a A$74.8 million contract from the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) for the “Proof of Concept” phase of the Advanced Train Management System (ATMS), a new communications-based train management technology for Australia's national interstate freight rail network.
Lockheed Martin will design, develop, construct and test an ATMS prototype on a 120-kilometre section of the interstate rail network in South Australia.
It has subcontracted Ansaldo STS of Brisbane, Queensland to provide dispatch and trackside controls and will leverage more than 100 employees at its Melbourne, Victoria subsidiary.
The company also anticipates sourcing services and products from Australia’s information technology and railroad supply chains.
