Why it matters:

Lockheed Martin's delivery of the Joint Air Battle Management System (JABMS) under AIR6500-1 exemplifies the company's role as a Mission Integrator. In an era of rapidly evolving threats and increasing complexity, traditional approaches to defense are no longer sufficient. The JABMS demonstrates how a truly integrated solution can provide a decisive advantage for modern forces.
