• ProgramConventional Prompt Strike (CPS)US Navy hypersonic missile program intended to arm Zumwalt-class destroyers; per a 2026 GAO report, prime contractor Lockheed Martin is producing only 6-7 rounds/year against a planned rate of 12, and shipboard installation is running roughly two years behind schedule.
• ProgramGolden Dome Space-Based Interceptor LayerSpace Force program developing space-based interceptor prototypes for the Golden Dome missile defense architecture.
• ProgramF-35 Lightning IIMultinational fifth-generation fighter program (F-35A/B/C).

What does Lockheed Martin do?

Lockheed Martin is a major American aerospace, defense, and security company, a prime contractor on SDA's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture Tranche 3 Tracking Layer and a participant in the Golden Dome space-based interceptor program. On 2026-07-20 Lockheed Martin introduced the PAC-3 Adapted Capability Effector (PAC-3 ACE), a lower-cost Patriot interceptor (under $2M/round vs $4M+ for the existing PAC-3 MSE) intended to extend Patriot battery magazine depth; serial production is targeted within three years across US and European facilities. Following a July 2026 NATO-summit announcement that the US would grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot interceptors, Lockheed Martin publicly backed the licensing process; the company and RTX were, as of late July 2026, in early discussions with the US government on what a Ukrainian production line could look like. In April 2026, the Air Force's HAVE HEAT experiment integrated Lockheed Martin's Infrared Search and Track (IRST) Legion Pod aboard the X-62 VISTA test aircraft, which performed 27 autonomous, AI-controlled air intercepts across 8 flights at Edwards Air Force Base using live targeting data from the pod.
