The U.S. military is doing what it has never done before: integrating a hypersonic weapon system to a naval platform. We’re helping to bring that capability to the sea, undersea and land domains by the mid-to-late 2020s.

One hundred years ago, immigrant and aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky founded Sikorsky Aero Engineering Company on a chicken farm near Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York. Now a Lockheed Martin company, we strive to continue Igor’s dream, to deliver flight solutions that bring people home, everywhere, every time.

The first LM 400, a flexible, mid-sized satellite customizable for military, civil or commercial users, rolled off our digital factory production line.

We achieved first light from the Directed Energy Interceptor for the Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense System (DEIMOS) system, which verifies that the laser’s optical performance parameters align with the system design parameters. This demonstration is a crucial milestone along the path to helping the U.S. Army perform its DE M-SHORAD mission, which is intended to deliver a maneuverable laser system capable of negating unmanned aerial systems, rotary-wing aircraft and rockets, artillery and mortars.

In January, DARPA announced the success of the final Hypersonic Air breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) flight test. This was the second successful flight test for this joint program.

We delivered the first of five C-130J-30 Super Hercules tactical airlifters to the Indonesian Air Force (IDAF), commemorating a new era in Hercules operations for this longtime C-130 operator.

To help future developers of commercial satellite constellations plan missions and operate their systems, we are now offering commercial licenses to its proven Horizon™ Command & Control (C2) and Compass™ Mission Planning software. This software provides mission critical capabilities for small, medium or large constellations, which includes orbit management, autonomous operations and formation flying.
