ICYMI: X-59 recently completed its first flight! Skunk Works® and NASA have brought us into a new era of quiet supersonic aviation. 🦨🎉

When we think of three decades of missile‑system excellence, the first thing that comes to mind is our talent. Our experts have spent 30 years at Lufkin, seeing the facility transform from hand‑drawn blueprints to a fully automated, pre‑kitted production line. Their journeys showcase how flexibility, mentorship and a shared mission keep our work “quiet, but the impact loud.” Read more: https://lmt.co/3X1TOuf

The invisible waves that power the world's technology can also be used to disrupt it. Controlling the electromagnetic spectrum is critical in modern defense. Electronic warfare tech lets forces locate threats, protect their systems and disrupt adversaries — turning the unseen into a battlefield advantage. Swipe through to learn more about electronic attack, electronic protection and electronic support. ⬇️

Battles aren’t just fought on land, sea, or air — they’re also fought in the invisible spectrum. Our electronic warfare tech senses, protects and disrupts signals, giving warfighters the edge in the fight no one can see. 🔗 Learn how EW tech is protecting the invisible battlespace: https://lmt.co/47NXK80

Google Gemini is coming to our AI Factory! Bringing Gemini into our on-premises environment will empower our team members to further harness the advanced capabilities of AI tools while ensuring appropriate security and mission requirements. This collaboration will help our team tackle workloads more quickly and efficiently, developing safe, secure, trustworthy AI that advances our 21st Century Security® solutions, and equip our engineers with powerful tools to accelerate innovation and support critical missions.

Today, we announced a $50 million investment in Saildrone, a global leader in maritime systems, to advance unmanned surface vehicle (USV) capabilities for the U.S. Navy. This collaboration will help realize the U.S. Navy’s USV vision for critical missions such as fleet defense, undersea surveillance, reconnaissance and attack. We're integrating ready-now, proven capabilities with Saildrone USVs to get unmatched lethality into the hands of warfighters as soon as possible.

The X-59 has successfully completed its first flight! ✈️ A breakthrough moment in aviation history—Skunk Works® and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration are transforming the future of quiet supersonic air travel.

Our Lockheed Martin engineers are innovators who solve complex challenges and push the boundaries of what’s possible every day.   I’m excited to share that we’ve been named to the Forbes list of America’s Best Employers for Engineers.   To every engineer who brings passion, creativity and purpose to our mission: thank you. You’re the reason we continue to attract and inspire top talent across the industry.

Innovation at every altitude. See how the U-Hawk™, Sanctum™ and space tech breakthroughs are shaping the future in this edition of Vector Star.
