What's Happening?

Lockheed Martin has just launched MyJAMES, a new mobile app suite that transforms how the UK Armed Forces manage assets and carry out critical tasks anytime, anywhere.

MyJAMES brings key functionality from the Joint Asset Management and Engineering Solutions (JAMES) system directly to personal electronic devices for the first time.

 

What is JAMES?

JAMES provides real-time data on military equipment’s location, status and readiness, empowering the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) with smarter logistics and asset management for 20 years and counting.

This enables the MOD to make informed decisions about equipment maintenance, allocation and deployment, directly supporting the effectiveness of the UK military.

 

Why it Matters

MyJAMES frees UK Armed Forces personnel from desk-bound systems, enabling them to access critical data and complete tasks while on the go by using their personal or MOD-issued mobile devices.

Before MyJAMES, personnel were restricted to desktops and laptops, limiting efficiency and flexibility.

 

Early Success

After extensive trials with 12 Regiment Royal Artillery, MyJAMES improved efficiency and reduced downtime.

Users praised its ease of use and flexibility.

“The ability to use these JAMES elements from your own mobile phone makes it effortless and straightforward — a real asset for the end-user,” said Staff Sergeant Alex Horridge of the Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) JAMES delivery team.

 

What They're Saying

Nigel Young, DE&S JAMES team leader, sees MyJAMES as just the start:
The release of this JAMES mobile application on a personal device shows how much potential there is. Even though JAMES is a mature application, it continues to strive for improvements, and consideration is being given to adding further functionality to MyJAMES in the future.

 

Paul Henderson, Lockheed Martin UK JAMES deputy programme manager, adds:
The potential to access MyJAMES using a mobile really makes life easier for the military — something that Lockheed Martin has as a primary focus.

 

What's Next

As MyJAMES rolls out, Lockheed Martin continues working with the MOD to evolve the app’s capabilities, meeting the Armed Forces’ ever-changing needs.

 

The Bottom Line

MyJAMES is a game-changer for the UK military. By offering a mobile, flexible and user-friendly solution, Lockheed Martin is helping boost efficiency and mission success wherever duty calls.
