New
York, New York, June 18, 2000 Pentagon 2000 Software, Inc. announced
today that United Defense, one of
the largest defense contractors in the United States, has upgraded to the PENTAGON 2000 Enterprise Level software package.
The Pentagon 2000 Enterprise Package provides the large defense
conglomerate's Parts Support Division a completely integrated solution for its
Inventory, Sales, Materials Management and Logistics Control operations.

About United Defense
The first order for amphibious landing
craft came in 1941 with a form from the military that simply said "Buy
1,000 LVTs — Food Machinery Corporation". During World War II, FMC
produced more than 10,000 armored vehicles. Similarly, Bowen-McLaughlin York
(later BMY, a division of Harsco) also began building tanks. For the last half
century, both companies provided the military with high quality, reliable
equipment. More than 100,000 systems have been produced.
In response to the complexities of
today's military industrial base and technology developments in a declining
market, FMC and Harsco merged their defense units into United Defense LP in
1994. Business conditions for the two conglomerates then lead to an exit
strategy from the defense sector.
The Carlyle Group bought United
Defense in October 1997. United Defense has the widest product line of systems
for land forces and a strong position in naval armaments. United Defense has
its headquarters in Arlington, VA and its 5100 employees serve their customers
on a global basis.
