Imagine you’re a pilot flying a BLACK HAWK® Helicopter into a dangerous aerial mission to deliver a critical humanitarian aid drop.

You arrive at the scene, but the hoist will not release the cargo.

What do you do?

The answer to this, and many other scenarios, is what simulation and training solutions provide.

Through commercial partnerships with gaming industry leaders, Lockheed Martin is investing in immersive learning environments that not only encourage deep understanding and retention of the material being studied, but create a joint world where training for multiple scenarios can take place simultaneously.

For example, ground vehicle simulation focuses on high-quality visuals from the vehicle’s perspective, while flight simulation requires a wider perspective of the landscape. In the past, no software could handle the graphics for both at scale – but using inventive gaming technologies, Lockheed Martin is able to envision that joint world, create it, integrate real systems, then provide personalized scenarios for our customers to train in.

The result?

A partnership between defense giants and defense disruptors that uses key discriminators developed by Lockheed Martin alongside the complementary technology developed by commercial companies.

The power of gaming technology is revolutionizing the way individuals learn and develop skills and will ensure we can meet the diverse and complex needs of our customers – now and in the future.
