"We work hard to ensure that our PBL customers have the highest availability rates possible, and we back that up with a team of field representatives who stay ready around the clock, around the world," said Mike Taylor, director of M-TADS/PNVS international and sustainment programs at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.

The M-TADS/PNVS system provides long-range, precision engagement and pilotage capabilities in all weather conditions, More than 1,350 M-TADS/PNVS systems and spares have been delivered by Lockheed Martin to the U.S. Army and international customers since 2005.
