Technology Research
Between the idea and the achievement, there is one important word: how.
And it is the how that makes all the difference.

Sometimes you have to make the answers, not find them. When the situation requires an original solution to meet a tough challenge, when you need new perspectives from all sides of a problem, you need Lockheed Martin.
Lockheed Martin's advanced technology research plays a major role in national security and in a broad array of vital projects for civil government customers. The goal: To develop technology solutions that strengthen customer performance as well as benefit society -- to make the world a safer and healthier place to live.
From the legendary Skunk Works ®, to the Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto, California, to managing national laboratories where we develop cutting-edge nanotechnology, Lockheed Martin research assists in the development of high-performance products at cost-effective prices.
Lockheed Martin research efforts include:
Advanced technology development
Applied research
Reliability testing
Scientific study
Specific technology research areas include:
Advanced Development Aircraft
Advanced Development Programs (ADP, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® ) is responsible for the integrated "front-end" development of new and innovative technologies, new product and derivative programs in support of Air Power as well as the integration of Air and Space Assets.
With a passion for invention, Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works has been synonymous with record-breaking aircraft, stealth, lift fan technology, and other cutting-edge innovations for the past 60 years.
The ability to quickly and quietly develop new technologies and prototype warfighter systems is a critical capability as the military pursues transformation to capability-driven, effects based operations.
Tomorrow's warfighting information infrastructure must expand beyond traditional boundaries established among the strategic, operational and tactical levels of warfare. The nation needs survivable, penetrating, long endurance manned and unmanned systems that can provide persistent, real-time, surveillance and targeting capabilities in all threat environments.
Skunk Works is focused on the architectural framework, associated technologies and product needs of the rapidly evolving, new warfare environment. Lockheed Martin is at heart a company of inventors. We are not satisfied unless we devise a new solution -- something smarter, something better. That way of thinking is also core to the men and women of Skunk Works.
Advanced Maritime Platforms
With technology research and development efforts traceable to the early 1960s, Lockheed Martin has been at the forefront of designing and integrating ships and ship systems to meet a host of varying civil and government needs.
Many of Lockheed Martin's technology research efforts have focused on designing ships that share some combination of the following:
Relative small size
Speed
Stability
Stealth
A proven systems integrator with nearly a century of expertise in aeronautics, Lockheed Martin has translated much of its derivative stealth technologies for applicable uses in the maritime arena.
Lockheed Martin has continuously invented and improved upon state-of-the-art technology to permit smaller vessels to travel freely in the open ocean while retaining the inherent stability in high sea states of a much larger ship - combined with stealth characteristics normally associated with aircraft. This has opened numerous options for technology insertion in ship design and development in nearly ever sector of the maritime arena, including:
Commercial: ferry boats, off shore crew boats, pilot boats
Military: littoral high-speed craft, oceanographic research boats
Homeland Security: patrol boats
Lockheed Martin continues to invest in advanced platform designs to provide customers with the most efficient solutions at the right cost while yielding improved performance through technology investment for their ocean-going needs.
Electronics
The research and technology emphasis throughout Lockheed Martin is on identifying, developing and demonstrating key electronic technologies that significantly improve performance, reduce cost, and facilitate the manufacturing of future and existing military systems.
With a passion for invention, Lockheed Martin applies innovation to what works, finding a better way to meet customers' goals. Working with partners in government, industry, and academia, our research engineers and technicians are developing and demonstrating electronic technologies that enable new military and commercial applications.
These initiatives have formed the foundation of our corporation's success in developing, producing and supporting electronics for next-generation fire control systems, strike weapons, air and missile defense systems, anti-armor missile systems, radar and surveillance systems, and space systems.
