Lockheed Martin Showcases 3 Defense and Space Technology Pushes in AI, Mars and Missile Defense

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 1

Lockheed Martin released a video package detailing three technology tracks: AI-driven autonomy for military missions, deep-space systems for Moon-to-Mars exploration, and next-generation missile defense.
AI and autonomy were framed as tools to cut operator workload, extend mission reach and keep humans central, with the company citing the F-35, Vectis, Matrix Autonomy and U-Hawk as examples.
In space, Lockheed tied its current work to NASA programs from Viking 1 to Orion and Artemis, saying robotic missions, lunar resources, nuclear power and advanced spacecraft are building toward human Mars missions.
For missile defense, the company said integrated systems, AI-enabled decision support and open architecture are needed to link sensors and platforms across land, sea, air and space as threats evolve faster.
