TAM Cargo Announces New Cargo Terminal Operations at Tom Jobim Airport
September 16, 2008
The facility’s capacity for handling domestic cargo has been quadrupled to
accommodate up to 60 tons per day
SAO PAULO, Brazil, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — TAM Cargo
(Bovespa: TAMM4 and NYSE: TAM), the cargo branch of TAM Linhas Aereas,
began operating in its new domestic cargo terminal at the Tom Jobim Airport
(Galeao), in Rio de Janeiro. The facilities occupy a total area of 1,200
square meters and are able to store up to 60 tons of cargo per day — four
times more than the old terminal.
TAM’s Vice President of Commerce and Planning, Paulo Castello Branco,
said that the new cargo terminal will complement the investments that TAM
is making in Rio de Janeiro’s market. “We are increasing the number of
domestic and international flights out of the Tom Jobim Airport, and for
this reason have installed a structure that is capable of serving our
clients in the cargo industry,” explained Castello Branco.
TAM’s Director of Cargo, Carlos Amodeo, explains that the new
terminal’s infrastructure allows more operational agility and improved
quality in customer service. “With the expansion of our storage capacity
for domestic cargo, we are better prepared to meet the growing demand,”
said Amodeo. International cargo will continue to be moved through
Infraero.
TAM Cargo will invest approximately R$ 22 million in infrastructure in
domestic cargo terminals throughout the country in 2008. The company is
also investing another R$ 8 million in national and international cargo
systems, which will allow TAM Cargo to increase its cargo capacity and
further integrate its operational, commercial and financial sectors.
In the first half of 2008, TAM Cargo reported an increase of 33.6% in
gross cargo sales (domestic and international cargo), reaching R$ 470.2
million, compared to R$ 352 million in the same period of 2007. The result
represented approximately 9.5% of the total revenue of R$ 5 billion
reported by the company in that period.
The growth in TAM Cargo’s revenue is primarily due to commercial
efforts to gain client loyalty, an increase in corporate agreements,
acquisition of new clients and improvements in service levels. This growth
is also due to the company’s increased international presence and, in the
domestic market, the substitution of F-100 airplanes for airplanes in the
A320 family, resulting in more cargo hold space.
TAM Cargo
TAM Cargo’s portfolio contains options that meet the needs of every
sector: TAM Cargo Proximo Voo (Next Flight) — the fastest on the market,
for urgent deliveries; TAM Cargo Proximo Dia (Next Day) — delivery on the
day after it was sent; TAM Cargo Convencional (Conventional) — ideal for
transporting large volumes; TAM Cargo Internacional (International) — for
importing and exporting cargo from airport to airport.
Currently, TAM Cargo serves 42 Brazilian airports with direct flights,
collects from more than 400 cities and delivers to more than 3,900
locations in the country. TAM Cargo International service reaches
approximately 45 countries and more than 120 countries spanning the
Southern Cone Common Market, North America, Europe and the Far East.
Seeking service excellence, TAM Cargo offers customer service solutions
through the website http://www.tamcargo.com.br and through their 24-hour Call
Center, which allows users to obtain general information about
transportation of goods, get price quotes, request pick-ups and track cargo
in real time. The phone number for this service is 0300 1159999.

Raytheon Develops Unmanned Aircraft System Ground Solution to Meet Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Needs
September 16, 2008
FALLS CHURCH, Va., Sept. 16, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — Raytheon Company
(NYSE: RTN) has developed an advanced common ground control system, or
CGCS, for the U.S. Air Force to address mission capability needs for the
Predator unmanned aircraft system.
“We’ve been working with combat-tested UAS operators and trainers for
more than two years to develop a CGCS that puts the human operator into the
UAS ‘cockpit’ to dramatically improve the way he or she operates unmanned
aircraft systems,” said Mark Bigham, business development director for
Raytheon’s Intelligence and Information Systems business.
“The results have been exciting,” Bigham added. “Our unsolicited bid
for the Predator ground control system will address significant decreases
in required aircrew manpower, faster training and greatly reduce mishap
rates previously attributed to human-machine interface or pilot error. It
also enables more aircraft to be controlled by the same number of
operators, increasing more unmanned aircraft systems in operation.”
The proposed CGCS is also compatible with improved Predator operations
centers currently being fielded to the U.S. Air National Guard. For more
than 35 years, Raytheon has been a recognized leader in developing a wide
variety of unmanned aircraft systems for the U.S. military.
Bigham said, “The CGCS will help the current Predator contractor
maximize the number of unmanned aircraft systems operators can fly,
ultimately helping to meet Secretary of Defense Gates’ goal of ‘more ISR
now.'”
Raytheon says it can produce the first CGCS system in less than 12
months with data support from platform primes and adequate funding support
for the Department of Defense. Raytheon predicts that during the next 10
years, it can save the Air Force more than $500 million. The five cost
savings benefits are:
— Reduce manpower requirements by 20 percent
— Reduce ground control segment requirements by 20 percent
— Reduce training time and costs by 30 percent
— Reduce aircraft losses by 50 percent
Based in Garland, Texas, Raytheon IIS is a leading provider of
information and intelligence solutions to the government. ISS had 2007
annual revenues of approximately $2.7 billion and employs more than 9,000
engineering and technical professionals worldwide.
Raytheon Company, with 2007 sales of $21.3 billion, is a technology

EADS Cross-Certifies with CertiPath’s PKI Bridge
September 16, 2008
Proven Ability to Meet Highest Standards for Identity Assurance Delivers
Access and Efficiency
HERNDON, Va. and TOULOUSE, France, Sept. 16th /PRNewswire/ — EADS
today became the first European-based aerospace and defense (A&D) company
to become cross-certified with the CertiPath PKI Bridge, giving the global
giant new ability to directly link with partners and customers who are also
members of the trust community created by CertiPath.
The announcement comes after 12 months of extensive policy, procedure
and infrastructure development by EADS. By demonstrating its commitment to
meeting standards for the highest levels of identity assurance, EADS joins
the CertiPath community, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman and
Raytheon, who can now transact business with one another and government
agencies in the U.S. federal government.
“This is a major milestone for us, as we continue to expand the global
network in which we do business,” said Philippe Laflandre, Head of the
Secure Information Management program at EADS. “With the
cross-certification, we can now share information critical to getting our
work done — around the world, with partners and customers — with
significantly diminished risk of fraud and loss.”
As a member of the CertiPath community, employees of EADS, the parent
of Airbus, can now use their digital credentials outside of their internal
systems. The cross-certified credentials eliminate the need for EADS
employees to have multiple digital credentials, reducing costs and risks to
the company. As a result, EADS gains access to several cutting-edge U.S.
and U.K. government programs that accept company-issued credentials for
sending and receiving secured email as well as accessing government-owned
web-based applications and websites.
“EADS has massive interests across both defense and commercial aviation
and these are the exact industries where CertiPath enables secure identity
management,” said Jeff Nigriny, president and COO of CertiPath. “We are
exceptionally pleased to have this leading A&D organization join the
CertiPath security trust fabric.”
CertiPath is the A&D industry’s de facto standard for PKI policy and
verification of adherence to stringent requirements for medium- and
high-assurance certification for identity assurance. Using trusted digital
signatures, it secures document and e-mail exchanges and any transactions
requiring a high assurance of someone’s identity, enabling industry and
government-wide single sign-on and secure collaboration.
About CertiPath
CertiPath is a partnership of ARINC, Exostar and SITA, dedicated to
providing the A&D industry with a trusted mechanism to use digital (PKI)
credentials globally. CertiPath directly links commercial enterprises with
one another and more than 500,000 colleagues at key government agencies,
including the Departments of Homeland Security, Treasury and State.
CertiPath enables secure trusted identity assurance between
organizations, partners, and customers through the first commercially
managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based bridging mechanism. Initially
designed for the international aerospace and defense community, the
CertiPath PKI Bridge enables the transfer of secured and authenticated data
globally between participating companies and domestic and foreign
government agencies. This shared trust network drives down the cost of
using PKI globally, as well as the cost associated with maintaining secured
customer and supplier relationships on a one-on-one basis. For more
