The Center for Innovation (also known as The Lighthouse) represents the intersection of Lockheed Martin’s commitment to national defense and passion for innovation.

The center provides both a physical and virtual portal into the vast network of Lockheed Martin’s laboratories, research centers and engineering facilities.

Designed as a 50,000 square foot, high-end operations center, it is part of Lockheed Martin’s investment in global research and development programs and infrastructure.

It is this unique infrastructure, optimized for collaborative experimentation and analysis, which has facilitated numerous Cooperative Research And Development Agreements (CRADA), as well as Human In The Loop (HITL) experiments and analytical efforts, between Lockheed Martin and its government, international, academic and industry partners.
