As a large-scale systems integrator, Lockheed Martin provides technologies and capabilities to address these strategic
goals. Missile defense capabilities including Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3), the Medium Extended Air Defense
System (MEADS), Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) as well as command and control for National Missile
Defense are critical in protecting bases of operations and defeating nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. MEADS,
a partnership with Germany and Italy, made successful progress last year on its risk reduction phase.
Air power projection and air mobility are provided with the F/A-22 air superiority fighter, F-16, C-130J airlifter, and
C-5 modernization program; and in the future with the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Advanced shipboard combat systems,
such as Aegis, assist in projecting and sustaining U.S. military power where it is needed. Internationally in 2002, the
Republic of Korea selected Aegis for its KDX-III naval modernization program, and the Aegis system for the new F-100
Frigate was delivered to Spain. Precision strike that can deny enemies sanctuary in any weather and at any time is also
the role of the F/A-22, F-35 JSF, Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, Longbow, and the Sniper/Pantera advanced
targeting pod which provides pilots with the most advanced targeting and precision strike capability in the world.
A truly international program, the F-35 team includes in the System Development and Demonstration phase the United
States, United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Denmark, Australia and Norway.
Network-centric warfare and information superiority maximize the effectiveness of U.S. and allied forces. The goal of
this netted architecture is situational awareness where forces can communicate with each other, share information about
their location and that of the enemy simultaneously, and see the same precise real-time picture of the battlespace.
Lockheed Martin is a leader in advanced C4ISR systems with the Theater Battle Management Core Systems, cockpit
electronics and radars. The Integrated Space Command and Control program integrates 40 separate systems into one
architecture to weld a potent joint force. Reliable and assured access to space is vital to national security, and the Atlas
family of launchers, including the most advanced Atlas V, get military assets to the ultimate high ground when needed.
The Atlas V, which made its first launch in 2002, is powered by the Russian RD-180 engine, an example of inventive
global partnerships. Lockheed Martin’s Milstar secure communications satellites and Space Based Infrared System
(SBIRS) are essential to fulfilling vital information superiority requirements.
