What's Next
For over 100 years, Lockheed Martin has worked side by side with our customers to help them deter threats by maintaining their technological superiority. Customers’ needs have grown more urgent and complex as their adversaries have invested heavily in new technologies to erode military advantage. To enable Joint All-Domain Operation in a complex 21st-century threat environment, Lockheed Martin is implementing a bold vision to allow every customer to make all-domain decisions – land, sea, air, space and cyber – through advanced and resilient communications at a speed our adversaries can’t match. To make this vision a reality, we are focusing our research and development investments and commercial relationships in areas that will give our customers a decisive advantage around the globe.
Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy
There’s no doubt that on the battlefield and at home, autonomy and artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly becoming part of our daily human experience. We are building AI systems that will keep people in control while enabling them to be safer, and increase mission success in the toughest and most unpredictable of situations.
Hypersonics
Going Mach 5, or 60 miles per minute, creates a number of complex engineering and physics challenges which is why we leverage expertise and technology from across the corporation to tackle these challenges with speed, agility and ingenuity. As the Department of Defense’s highest technical priority, our scientists and engineers are developing game-changing hypersonic solutions to ensure mission success.
Directed Energy
Directed Energy systems use highly-focused energy to disable targets with pinpoint accuracy. Our engineers are at the forefront of transforming high-power laser technology developed for factories into inventive and cost-effective defense capabilities for our customers.
Spectrum Dominance
Warfighters rely on the spectrum to sense and locate adversaries while communicating across allied forces. To maintain spectrum dominance we are developing open architecture spectrum solutions that enable synergistic operations across platforms.
