DEER PARK, NY- Lockheed Martin Corporation, Missiles and Fire Control – Orlando has awarded PLX Inc. a production contract for the Modernized Boresight Module (M-BSM) for the Arrowhead Program. Arrowhead is a new system designed to enhance the targeting capabilities of the AH-64D Apache Longbow Combat Helicopter. The M-BSM is part of the sensor suite, which is a modernization of the Apache’s Target Acquisition Designation Sight and Pilot’s Night Vision Sensor. These enhancements will provide improved performance, more effective integration and maximum use of the Apache weapon system.
	Designed by PLX, based on an LMCO (Lockheed Martin Corporation) configuration, the M-BSM utilizes 2 PLX Lateral Transfer Hollow Retroreflectors™ (LTHRs).  PLX LTHRs are innovative retroreflector tubes with proprietary optical structures that achieve and maintain state-of-the-art accuracies while operating under adverse environmental conditions.  The LTHRs in the M-BSM enable the simultaneous viewing of day vision and night vision through the primary gunner’s sight.  In addition, they achieve one arc second parallelism between the gunner’s line of sight, the FLIR system and the target.  The LTHRs maintain this accuracy under the combat conditions faced by the Apache.
	PLX is the world’s leading manufacturer of monolithic optical instruments used in a variety of military, aerospace, industrial and scientific applications.  For more information, call PLX at 631-586-4190, e-mail them at info@plxinc.com or visit PLX Inc. on our new website at www.plxinc.com.
