Current
The current LMTSS focuses on air traffic, civil systems integration and homeland security programs. Their mission statement pledges dedication to "supporting customers’ missions in facilitating commerce through transportation, protecting the homeland, and improving citizen services by providing innovative, effective transformational solutions."
In August 2005, Lockheed Martin TSS was awarded a $212 million contract by the New York State MTA for a security system to protect Mass Transit operations in New York City, to include subways, commuter railroads and bridges and tunnels.
In September 2005, Lockheed Martin TSS was awarded a $308 million contract by the National Archives and Records Administration to design and develop the Electronic Records Archives (ERA) program. The ERA will be a project ensuring the safe storage and recall of the federal government's electronic records, regardless of format, for "the life of the republic."
Effective January 1, 2009, Lockheed Martin TSS was dissolved and the business was realigned within the Lockheed Martin IS&GS (Information Systems & Global Solutions) business area. Secure enterprise solutions (SES) programs became a part of Lockheed Martin IS&GS-Civil and the heritage aviation programs became part of Lockheed Martin IS&GS Internal & Next Generation. In mid-January, that latter unit was renamed Lockheed Martin IS&GS Global. However, after the departure of the Global business unit president, Judy Marks, the unit was realigned again. The aviation programs joined the rest of the former TSS programs, and now report under IS&GS-Civil.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“Absolutely speaking, Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you is by no means a golden rule, but the best of current silver. An honest man would have but little occasion for it. It is golden not to have any rule at all in such a case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“Through this broad street, restless ever,
Ebbs and flows a human tide,
Wave on wave a living river;
Wealth and fashion side by side;
Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
