Defending against modern day missile threats requires constant collaboration and innovation. Thats why were able to integrate systems from end to end so you can detect, control, and engage the full spectrum of missile threats across every domain. Its why were investing in disruptive technology like directed energy, space-based capabilities, and solid state-radar. To create layers of defense that help keep us all safe.

Shooting a missile down with a missile was once a
concept only dreamed up in science fiction novels.
Weve made it scientific fact! So, what does it take to
spot an enemy missile launch, identify its intended
target, calculate its exact trajectory, launch an interceptor, and guide it to destroy the threat in mid-air? All in a matter of seconds? Its not easy but at Lockheed Martin, we help customers solve the worlds most complex challenges. Our culture supports employees to dream big, perform with excellence and create incredible products. We provide the resources, inspiration and focus and if
you have the passion and courage, we want to build
a better tomorrow with you.
