The existing branding for the Missiles and Fire Control at that time was rather limited: the Univers font family had already been an established.

The company homepage for Missiles and Fire Control; features: fly-out menus for navigation, and a handy search form. Rotating content: News Releases were the cause for updating this homepage. Each new story would start a cycle as the home page center graphic; and then it would be scaled-down and rotated to another position in the layout.
Just after 9/11, Lockheed Martin ran national, color newspaper ads, quoting President John F. Kennedy; the MFC website repeated the newspaper ad.
