Gurgaon, India, August 11, 2007
Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest defense contractor and the United States Government’s number one Information Technology provider, together with leading Indian Information Technology company, Wipro Technologies, a division of Wipro Limited, today announced the opening of its Network Centric Operations Centre in Gurgaon, India. Known as Ambar Jyoti, this lab will develop, demonstrate and experiment with emerging network-enabled capabilities and applications. Wipro and Lockheed Martin have committed to building this modeling and simulation experimental lab in India.

The centre is designed to leverage Wipro’s embedded, telecom and enterprise expertise in creating data centric solutions for the future. Lockheed Martin and Wipro Technologies will utilize cutting-edge technologies and real environment emulation to develop net-enabled capabilities and solutions to employ against current, real-world problems.

Ambar Jyoti provides an opportunity for indigenous development and experimentation to identify future capabilities and requirements in network-centric operations for potential civil and military application.

After inaugurating the facility, MoS Defence Production, Rao Inderjit Singh said that he expects this facility to give excellent results because it has brought together two leading giants like Lockheed Martin, world leader in defence production and Wipro, a giant in the IT industry, whose excellence is recognized world over.

"We are honored and pleased to be able to provide this capability in India," said Rick Kirkland ,President South Asia LMGI ."Through this lab, together we will explore the ‘art of the possible’ and prepare for network-centric operations of the future."

"This experimentation and demonstration centre is the first of its kind in India and we are proud to be a part of this initiative. We are certain that as a result of this project, the Indian market gets easier access to such advanced network centric based architectures and concepts," said Dr A L Rao, Chief Operating Officer of Wipro Technologies.

In the coming months, Lockheed Martin will network Ambar Jyoti with other such similar centres across the globe so that an increased number of more complex, real-time, real-world demonstrations can take place in this Indian facility.
