Lockheed Martin said the partnership combines more than 30 years of its modeling and simulation experience with local and industry expertise. The proposal is intended to provide a mix of capability, data sets and overall force readiness for NATO requirements.
ACES provides a unified and integrated ecosystem that connects existing and emerging simulation capabilities. Lockheed Martin said it can support multinational training, exercise execution, operational planning, strategic analysis and future capability development within a common environment.
The system is designed to integrate diverse simulation tools and data sources. The company said this approach can improve collaboration, interoperability and decision-making across organizations and partner nations.
ACES supports applications across air, land, maritime, space and cyber domains. It is also intended for major use cases including computer assisted exercises, operational planning, operational analysis, strategic studies and computer assisted wargames.
The platform enables training and analysis in live, virtual and constructive environments. Lockheed Martin said the capability is aligned with NATO’s need for a common environment across multiple operational and planning activities.
Raashi Quattlebaum, vice president of land and maritime solutions at Lockheed Martin, said: “Our partnership brings strength across industry and regional expertise to deliver the right modelling and simulation solution for NATO. We are confident in the capabilities of ACES to strengthen interoperability and readiness across the Alliance.”
Lockheed Martin said the competition is now in full swing. The company-led collaboration will present a unified modeling and simulation capability set aligned with NATO’s top-line priorities.
The proposal is intended to support situational awareness and force readiness for current operational environments. Lockheed Martin said it is also aimed at future threats that will shape the next generation of battlespace requirements.
