Artificial intelligence is not a future concept. It is a mission-critical capability shaping operations right now. At the Lockheed Martin AI Center (LAIC), engineers build scalable, deployable, and secure systems that drive decision speed, enable autonomy, and deliver tactical edge. This is applied AI for real-world complexity across all domains. Every model, tool, and architecture is designed to perform under pressure.

We establish the reusable software foundations that underpin every AI initiative at Lockheed Martin. Our team designs, develops, and sustains the AI Factory, a secure DevSecOps ecosystem for model training, deployment, and continuous monitoring, alongside the STAR.OS federated AI framework, an enterprise‑grade MLOps platform for end‑to‑end lifecycle management, and a comprehensive suite of libraries and simulation environments that accelerate rapid prototyping.

We enable transformative AI adoption across the enterprise. Partnering closely with our business units, we identify high‑value AI opportunities, architect secure reference designs, and provide consulting services that hasten machine‑learning adoption. We operationalize strategic AI concepts, integrating intelligent agents and large‑language‑model capabilities into everyday business processes.

We apply AI directly to address customer‑driven challenges, including advanced signal‑processing, computer‑vision, autonomous agents, weapons‑effectors, and integrated command‑and‑control solutions. Our ensure these solutions are robust, secure, and ready for deployment in classified, disconnected, or program‑specific environments.

We set the industry benchmark for responsible AI. As the first aerospace and defense contractor to adopt the DoD Ethical AI Principles, we continue to shape frameworks, standards, and certification processes that guarantee our AI solutions are transparent, fair, and secure. Ethical safeguards are embedded throughout every stage of the AI lifecycle, reinforcing Lockheed Martin’s unwavering commitment to trustworthy technology.
