Software Contract: PDA Engineering, a maker of engineering software, said Monday that Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Co. in Marietta, Ga., has selected PDA’s software system to help it develop a new jet fighter.
PDA said Lockheed selected its M/Vision software after an extensive review and will use the materials-analysis software to analyze data from thousands of tests on parts materials for the Air Force’s planned F-22 fighter.
“It is significant for us because this is perhaps one of the last major aircraft programs of the century,” said James Kerrigan, chief financial officer. “We expect to see revenue over the next couple of years.”
Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Under the deal, PDA will supply maintenance and training to Lockheed engineers. The software runs on workstations built by Hewlett-Packard Co.
