Lockheed Martin Australia accelerating integrated Defence capabilities with UNSW and Adelaide University R&D collaborations

Lockheed Martin Australia is making an impact in systems-level R&D architecture through six R&D projects supported by the Defence Trailblazer.

In collaboration with UNSW and Adelaide University researchers and delivered through Lockheed Martin Australia’s Advanced Systems & Technologies R&D team, the projects are building advanced capabilities in hypersonics, space systems and artificial intelligence (AI) to inform their ‘Southern Shield’ anti-access, area-denial R&D strategy.
