St. John's, Newfoundland CANADA, July 13, 2012 /FSC/ - Bluedrop Performance Learning Inc. (BPL - TSX Venture), announced today that it has been awarded a contract by Lockheed Martin to continue helping the National Science Foundation prepare researchers for their deployment to Antarctica.  Bluedrop will host and maintain an e-Learning portal that provides required education on security awareness and environmental protection.  This will be used to train thousands of grantees and support personnel for their Antarctic deployments.

"We are enthusiastic to continue our support of the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) through our new relationship with Lockheed Martin," stated Emad Rizkalla, President and CEO of Bluedrop.  "The ability to say we deliver training to all points on the globe is a satisfying achievement.  We look forward to bringing Bluedrop's expertise and talent to the program and increasing our contributions to the expansion of this knowledge base."
