IBC Advanced Alloys Delivers First Articles EOTS Components for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II

July 13, 2015

WILMINGTON, MA and VANCOUVER, - IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (OTCQX: IAALF and TSX-V: IB;) ("IBC" or the "Company"), a leading advanced alloys and precision castings company, has successfully delivered its first completed Beralcast^® azimuth gimbal housing components to Lockheed Martin. The articles will be used in the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS).

Lockheed Martin's EOTS provides affordable, high-performance multi-function targeting to the F-35's full spectrum of military operations. It is the first sensor to combine forward-looking infrared and infrared search and track functionality to provide F-35 pilots with situational awareness and air-to-air and air-to-surface targeting from a safe distance. The technology enables aircrews to identify areas of interest, perform reconnaissance and precisely deliver laser- and GPS-guided weapons.
Ray White, President of IBC Engineered Materials Corp. said, "Successful first article delivery of Beralcast^® components to Lockheed Martin raises the bar for high performance aerospace applications delivered with cost and lead time savings. This is an important milestone for both IBC and the aerospace industry," continued White, "and we look forward to continuing to support Lockheed Martin and aerospace with IBC's Beralcast® cast alloys."


The first contract for Beralcast^® azimuth gimbal housing components for OEM aircraft fitted with EOTS systems and spares for low-rate initial production (LRIP) Lots 7 and 8 was announced September 8, 2014. Beralcast® alloys are ideally suited to many aerospace applications where lightweight, high modulus and cost are critical performance factors. The principal Beralcast^® alloys are three times stiffer than aluminum with 22% less weight and can be substituted for aluminum, magnesium, titanium, metal matrix composites as well as pure beryllium or powder metallurgy beryllium-aluminum.

The Nuclear industry predicts $1.2 Trillion worth of new plants will be constructed or started by 2030 with Asia leading the expansion of Nuclear power in the 21st century.











In Sept 2014, IBC was awarded a contract by the LockheedMartin Corp to produce the housing components for it's F35 fighter jets "EOTS" systems utilizing it's proprietary "Beralcast" advanced material, with the promise of more to come.
(see illustration at right)

The F-35 is the most advanced fighter jet ever built and for Lockheed to include this tiny manufacturer of specialty materials as one of it's suppliers ensures that IBC should punch above it's weight for years to come.

During the same month,  IBC successfully delivered several unmanned aerial system (UAS) ^® technology to the U.S. Department of Defense.
demonstration articles manufactured using IBC’s proprietary Beralcast castings.



In November 2014,  IBC Partnered with two European firms to Develop and Distribute a New High Performance Alloy




Although it is still a microcap company trading on the venture exchange mostly in Canada, IBC is creating a dynamic global beryllium and advanced alloys company.

IBC's common shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "IB" and the OTCQX under the symbol "IAALF."
