Lockheed Martin’s AI Factory combines open-source and proprietary AI models to deliver secure, traceable, and reliable solutions. By incorporating Google Cloud’s AI tools, the company aims to strengthen its high-assurance approach to artificial intelligence across critical missions.
“Using Google Cloud’s AI technologies allows us to explore a wide range of powerful capabilities to deliver innovative, reliable solutions that stay ahead of the curve,” said John Clark, Senior Vice President, Lockheed Martin Technology & Strategic Innovation. “A sustained relationship with Google Public Sector is part of our ongoing commitment to a culture of innovation, driving continuous improvement and delivering results for our customers.”
Jim Kelly, Vice President Federal at Google Public Sector, stated: “Lockheed Martin and Google Cloud share a vision to bring new innovation to the industry with AI. Our Google Cloud AI technologies will provide Lockheed Martin with a powerful toolset to address some of their most demanding issues faster than ever before.”
The partnership will focus on areas such as advanced intelligence analysis, real-time decision-making, predictive maintenance in aerospace, engineering optimisation, secure software development, supply chain resilience, and tailored workforce training. The companies also aim to apply AI to support scientific discovery.
Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, designed for secure training and deployment of large language models (LLMs) at scale, will be a central component of the collaboration. It complements Lockheed Martin’s need for AI capabilities that operate securely, including in isolated and air-gapped environments.
