Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin was formed in 1995 through the merger of Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta. The aerospace and defense company has its headquarters in North Bethesda, Maryland, in the United States. It operates in four main business segments. The Aeronautics segment is known for military aircraft, including the F-35 Lightning II, C-130J Super Hercules, and F-22 Raptor. The Missiles and Fire Control segment specializes in defense systems like missile defense, fire control systems, and energy solutions. The Rotary and Mission Systems focus on naval systems, simulation, training, and IT solutions. The Space segment is invested in satellite systems and space exploration. The Lockheed name is central to the company's branding, with the F-35 Lightning II, C-130 Hercules, and THAAD missile defense system standing out as key products. Lockheed Martin primarily serves the United States but also markets to countries such as NATO members, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Israel, and various Middle Eastern states. Sales to these nations are subject to U.S. government policies and the global demand for defense and technology solutions. (Powered by AI)
