Advanced Production

Mission-Driven Transformation Advanced Production
Beyond brick and mortar, Lockheed Martin factories across the U.S. are built on digital foundations to incorporate smart manufacturing components, embrace the Industrial Internet of Things and deliver cutting edge solutions to our customers rapidly and affordably. In these intelligent factories, teams can collaborate better across industry, using legacy tools and advanced production technologies that ensure our work processes are as innovative as the capabilities we deliver.

Lockheed Martin's advanced production priorities: an intelligent factory framework; a technology-enabled advanced manufacturing environment; and a flexible factory construct to support customer priorities.

Merging the power of human and machine, Lockheed Martin manufacturing artisans work with digital tools with maximum efficiency. Investments in robotics, artificial intelligence and augmented reality reduce the need for hard tooling, elevating the human experience to speed production and improve quality.

Mission-Driven Transformation

The digital thread takes shape long before hardware starts coming together on the factory floor. Design data powers smart tools, connected machines, augmented reality and networked supply chains. And the data generated on the factory floor gives customers the insights they need to move at the speed of relevance in the field. That’s why advanced production technologies are a key element of Lockheed Martin’s Mission-Driven Transformation.
