4 Trends Influencing Military Readiness

Technology is constantly changing, and it can be difficult to keep up. 

But, at Lockheed Martin, keeping up is our job. It’s what makes it possible for militaries to operate effectively and safely — and logistics and sustainment play a big role.

Here are the trends we’re keeping an eye on.
 

1. Open Architecture and Commercial Partnerships for Military Applications

Militaries unlock endless possibilities when adopting open standards and integrating commercial tech. From interoperable systems to rapid technology integrations, this symbiotic relationship ensures the warfighter remains agile and Ahead of Ready.
 

2. Bringing AI into Defense

Combining AI and human intelligence is revolutionizing logistics and sustainment in the military. AI continues to get smarter, serving up real-time, tailored information to make smarter data decisions.
 

3. New Business Models

Customers are no longer satisfied with a one-size-fits-all sustainment approach. Aircraft age and simulators become obsolete. That’s where models like turnkey training come into play. Performance-based solutions provide optimum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
 

4. Logistics in Contested Battlespaces

Militaries prioritize adaptability in contested environments. Joint All-Domain Operations can involve the integration of platforms, sensors, weapons and command and control systems with logistics and supply chain capabilities, enabling military forces to operate seamlessly across all domains. These capabilities help warfighters adapt to changing conditions and overcome emerging threats.
