Inside Lockheed Martin’s most impactful third quarter innovations
Our innovations are driving the evolution of defense tech and delivering advanced capabilities to our customers where it’s needed most.
1. U.S. Army Awards Lockheed Martin Contract to Bolster Missile Defense with PAC-3 MSE
Proven Power at Scale. We will be supporting the U.S. Army and our international partner nations with the largest PAC-3 MSE interceptors contract ever. These are combat proven protection against ballistic, cruise and hypersonic threats.
2. Lockheed Martin and Q-CTRL: Revolutionizing Navigation with Quantum Technology
Lockheed Martin will be joining Q-CTRL to develop next-generation quantum sensors for navigation on advanced defense platforms for the DARPA Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS) program leveraging their expertise in both quantum and GPS technology.
3. European GMARS Launcher Proves Capability with First-Ever Firing
The Global Mobile Artillery Rocket System (GMARS) program successfully completed a major milestone, launching two GMLRS rounds in a first-time live fire event at White Sands Missile Range, validating the launcher’s performance and ability to integrate an MFOM class munition.
4. Lockheed Martin Vectis™: Best in CCA Class Survivability
Introducing Lockheed Martin Vectis™ -- a collaborative combat aircraft that will integrate with the F-35 and next-gen platforms. Development is underway at Skunk Works® with affordable, advanced manufacturing.
We’re ramping up CH-53K King Stallion production, the world’s most powerful heavy-lift helicopter, for Marine missions.
6. Lockheed Martin Establishes Command and Control Prototyping Hub for Golden Dome for America
We’re advancing tech for Golden Dome for America with speed while also scaling production to enable us to deliver capabilities now. We have built a prototyping environment at the Center for Innovation to support the collaborative development of a Golden Dome for America Command and Control (C2) capability.
7. Closing the Gap in Drone Swarm Defense
Leading defense when drone swarms attack. Our Counter-UAS system detects, tracks and neutralizes threats in seconds.
8. Lockheed Martin Showcases Advanced Command and Control Capabilities in Talisman Sabre 25
The Indo-Pacific's largest and most complex military exercise with 30,000 personnel and 19 nations, Lockheed Martin put our multi-domain mission solutions to the test to showcase how we help drive military modernization efforts forward, enabling warfighters to respond to emerging threats with greater speed, resiliency and effectiveness.
9. Lockheed Martin Delivers Artemis II Orion Spacecraft to NASA
A step forward in future crewed missions to the Moon and beyond. We delivered the Orion pressure vehicle for the Artemis V mission to NASA, an important stride toward establishing a human presence on the Moon for exploration and scientific discovery, and helping to build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.
10. Teaming Up with 9/11 Day to Pack Thousands of Meals for Those in Need
This Hunger in Action Month, we teamed up with 9/11 Day to pack meals for communities across the country.
