Advanced Development Programs (ADP)

The Lockheed Martin commitment to Advanced Development Programs (ADP) has built a legacy of achievement in aerospace by creating breakthrough technologies and landmark aircraft that have redefined the possibilities of flight. Innately, this legacy has evolved into our corporate vision to be the world’s best advanced-technology systems integrator.

Merging this vision with our peerless operating strategies and competencies further optimizes our use of resources. Our Virtual Integrated Product Development Process leverages innovative technology applications to provide cross-product and cross-platform solutions efficiently and economically.

For example, breakthroughs in fiber-optic networking and information architecture have contributed to advances in combat aircraft, air mobility, global telecommunications and surveillance products. The concept for a fastenerless duct led to the development of an integrated airframe, adapted for the cutting-edge F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.

This integrated operating strategy makes Lockheed Martin the world’s pre-eminent source not only for advanced aerospace prototyping, but also for advanced technology research and systems development for a broad range of new military and commercial concepts.

From deep sea to deep space, our Advanced Development Products continues to play essential roles in protecting and enhancing life in the United States and abroad.
