The two companies have previously worked together on various projects, creating a strong basis for this new collaboration. “We are therefore all the more looking forward to working with the Lockheed Martin team to drive forward concepts with pioneering technologies in the field of maritime command and control systems and radar and thus contribute to the sustainable expansion of the capabilities of our military customers and partners, including the potential of local value creation,” Dörre added.
Paul Lemmo, vice president and general manager of Integrated Warfare Systems and Sensors at Lockheed Martin, reinforced the company’s commitment to industrial partnerships, especially in Germany. “Lockheed Martin is dedicated to building industrial partnerships for programs in Germany and beyond,” Lemmo stated. He emphasised that their combined efforts in radar development will yield high-performance systems, designed and supported in Germany to ensure enduring operational capabilities.
This collaboration aligns with the strategic goals of both companies, potentially benefiting military customers through enhanced maritime technologies. The partnership also supports local value creation, as the companies aim to develop and maintain these high-performance systems within Germany.
