Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems has been awarded a prototype agreement to partner with the U.S. Army in developing a data-centric Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) system. The company will serve as Team Lead, collaborating with innovators such as Raft and Hypergiant to scale advanced technologies for NGC2.

 

NGC2 is designed as an Army-wide transformation to deliver a continuous common operating picture, enabling faster and better decision-making in dynamic environments. By using Application Programming Interfaces and a Modular Open Systems Architecture, the project will allow easier third-party integration and accelerate the delivery of capabilities.

“The NGC2 effort is a central component of the Army’s transformation, and we are so proud to be playing a key role in its development,” said Chandra Marshall, vice president at Lockheed Martin. “We are committed to partnering with the U.S. Army to implement this complex system of systems solution to meet warfighter needs, advancing mission-critical capabilities.”

 

 

Lockheed Martin said its extensive experience in command and control will support the Army in identifying opportunities for cross-domain reuse and integrating industry-leading solutions. The company also highlighted its role in advancing software and architectures to MOSA standards while bridging legacy systems to future, scalable frameworks.

The initiative is part of Lockheed Martin’s ongoing modernisation efforts and commitment to building advanced systems for mission success. The company stated that with NGC2, it is “not just partnering to build a better command and control system – we’re building a better future for our customers and our nation.”
