Lockheed Martin is addressing the urgent need for commanders to access trustworthy mission data instantaneously. In modern warfare, the ability to quickly interpret intelligence reports is critical, as every moment spent analyzing information can provide adversaries with an opportunity to act. The company is engineering decision advantage through integrated capabilities, ensuring that secure information translates into a tactical edge.
The Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) has been a cornerstone of U.S. missile warning and tracking, showcasing Lockheed Martin's expertise in this domain. The introduction of the Next-Generation OPIR GEO (NGG) aims to enhance sensing capabilities against emerging threats, including hypersonic weapons. Built on the LM2100 Combat Bus™, NGG is designed for advanced survivability, ensuring that critical information is delivered where it is needed most.
Lockheed Martin's Transport Layer satellites, utilizing the LM50 bus, are pivotal in providing secure, low-latency communications that facilitate rapid data distribution across the force. As the U.S. Space Force develops a Resilient Missile Warning/Missile Tracking layer in MEO, Lockheed Martin is competing for the Epoch 2 contract, demonstrating its commitment to advancing missile defense architecture and maintaining operational superiority.
