become profitable with these and other ATC programs. Between 2000 and 2003, the company was baseline profitable. The company dealt with the loss of the New Scottish Centre (NSC) contract due to NATS and FAA budget cutbacks. Moderate layoffs were made in order to reduce head-count and keep the business unit out of debt. In 2002 and 2003, The newly formed United States Department of Homeland Security started spending billions of dollars on large security-centric programs. Traditional defense and government contractors started compete vigorously for these programs. Lockheed Martin followed suit by reorganizing their Systems Integration business unit. Parts of the company that were not strictly focused on the United States Department of Defense were moved around to units that competed in the private sector or for civilian government programs. The LMATM unit was merged with the security-based groups whose customers were the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. and Canadian Census agencies, and other such organizations. The modified company was renamed Lockheed Martin Transportation and Security 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.
