Lockheed Martin Opens New Facility in Titusville
Company Continues Supporting Critical National Security Missions from Space Coast
For nearly seven decades, Lockheed Martin has supported the U.S. Navy as a critical partner for its mission to provide sea-based strategic deterrence solutions through the company’s Fleet Ballistic Missiles (FBM) program.
In July 2023 Lockheed Martin FBM program leaders, along with government and public officials, commemorated the opening of a logistics facility to support the program at the company’s Titusville, Florida campus. The facility represents a capital investment of approximately $23M, wrapping a multi-year plan that included transitioning FBM program headquarters to the Space Coast.
“The Titusville area plays a prominent role in the defense industry and is a great home for our program as we support the U.S. Navy in this critical mission,” said Jerry Mamrol, vice president of Fleet Ballistic Missiles at Lockheed Martin. “The completion of this state-of-the-art logistics center marks the final step of our program’s transition, allowing us to fully take advantage of centralized key skills and cost savings for the Navy.”
Digital transformation is central to the logistics facility, providing an efficient and more agile workplace leveraging technology to our advantage. One example is a new integrated environmental monitoring system, replacing previous methods using humidigraphs on paper. This will be the first Lockheed Martin construction project to achieve the U.S. Green Building Council LEED Silver Certification on the Space Coast.
Supporting Sea-Based Nuclear Deterrence
Lockheed Martin is a critical partner for modernization of the nuclear triad, poised to bring the FBM program into the future.
Lockheed Martin’s FBM program supports the U.S. Navy and U.K. Royal Navy to sustain and upgrade submarine-launched ballistic missiles as the Flight System Integrator; developing and producing Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs) and support equipment. The Trident II D5 missile will continue to serve as the seaborne leg of the U.S. Nuclear Triad for decades to come, recently completing its 190th successful test launch — a record unmatched by any other large ballistic launch vehicle.
“The FBM program’s next great challenge is of global importance. We are primed for innovation with advanced digital technology, modern facilities, and a culture of excellence,” Mamrol said. “Our mission in support of our customers is not only exciting; it’s a cornerstone of our national, and allies’, security.”
