Missile Defense
Today, we know that the rules of engagement have changed, but what is at stake has not. At Lockheed Martin, we understand that the solutions required to protect freedom on a global scale will require that the good guys see the big picture and have the solutions to defend our nation and allies. Lockheed Martin contributes to every U.S. land-based, airborne, sea- and space-based missile defense initiative; and consults on air and missile defense issues with U.S. and international governments.
Lockheed Martin missile defense capabilities include:
- Missile Defense
- Command & Control / Battle Management
- Systems Integration
- Weapon Systems
Specifically, our technologies play a role in:
- Boosters, Targets and Countermeasures
- Hit-to-Kill Technology
- Infrared Seekers
- Interceptor Systems & Kill Vehicles
- Precision Pointing & Tracking Optics
- Radar & Other Sensors
- Signal Processing & Data Fusion
When President George W. Bush and the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) decided to network missile defense sensors, weapons and decision nodes into a seamless system, the nation called on us. Lockheed Martin is leading a national team to develop the Ballistic Missile Defense System's Command, Control, Battle Management and Communication System, or C2/BM/C.
This effort involves the integration of hardware and software elements that will tie together the entire global missile defense system, and enable it to function effectively and instantaneously. We are keenly aware of the importance of this responsibility, and are committed to helping our customers be successful at their defining moments.
