The company said it is delivering battle-tested systems while scaling production and expanding sustainment. It said those efforts support NATO readiness and reinforce Europe’s industrial base.
Lockheed Martin said readiness does not end with delivery and requires long-term sustainment infrastructure across NATO and allied countries. The company and Estonia’s Ministry of Defence are advancing a HIMARS support centre to strengthen sustainment across Estonia and the Baltic region.
The company said such investments expand in-country capability and support defence industrial growth. It also said they help NATO sustain critical systems where and when they are needed.
Across Europe, Lockheed Martin said it is working with governments and industry to increase production capacity and supply chain resilience. The company said these partnerships are intended to deliver advanced capability faster.
In Lithuania, Lockheed Martin and the Ministry of National Defence have signed a joint statement to deepen cooperation on security, defence and industrial opportunities. The company said the step is intended to address increased domestic and international demand for combat-proven capabilities.
In Germany, Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall are advancing the Fuchs-Joint Air-to-Ground Missile concept. The company said the effort combines a combat-proven vehicle with precision-guided missile technology for a next-generation mobile strike capability.
Lockheed Martin also said it is supporting Europe’s integrated air and missile defence ecosystem. In Spain, the company is expanding PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement component production with Grupo Oesía and Sener.
In Poland, long-established partnerships with defence companies continue to support regional security and the PAC-3 MSE global supply chain. Lockheed Martin said those partnerships also support engineering jobs, technology transfer and workforce development.
In Germany, Lockheed Martin signed an agreement with Diehl Defence to expand PAC-3 MSE supply chain capacity. The company said these activities are part of wider efforts to build Europe’s defence industrial network.
Lockheed Martin said it is working directly with suppliers, manufacturers and national industry associations across Europe. The aim is to expand industrial participation, identify new capabilities and strengthen long-term resilience.
In cooperation with the U.S. Government, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon, Lockheed Martin is exploring industrial cooperation opportunities with Estonian industry. The work is intended to support Estonia’s long-range air defence requirements and strengthen the country’s defence industrial base.
The company said the cooperation aligns with Estonia’s national defence industrial policy. It said the partnerships support a resilient, globally competitive and export-oriented Estonian defence industry while delivering PAC-3 MSE, which it described as the world’s most advanced air defence missile.
By integrating European suppliers into its global production network, Lockheed Martin said it is expanding capacity and diversifying sourcing. The company said this also creates long-term industrial opportunities across allied nations.
Demand for advanced defence systems is accelerating, according to Lockheed Martin. The company said it is scaling advanced manufacturing and digital engineering, supported by proven processes, skilled employees and a global network of more than 13,000 suppliers.
“Lockheed Martin has been a strategic partner in Europe since the founding of NATO. A lot of our products are being used, but what may be less well known are our strategic partnerships with industry here in Europe,” said John Clark, vice president of international business, during the Defending the Skies of Europe panel at the 2026 GLOBSEC conference.
“With 7,000 employees, we’re well integrated in Europe, and we intend to continue being that kind of strategic partner for NATO members,” Clark said. Lockheed Martin said it is working with allies and industry to accelerate delivery of proven precision-strike capabilities.
The company said it is also expanding the capacity needed to meet demand while strengthening the industrial base. It said the approach supports long-term economic growth across the transatlantic network and helps strengthen NATO readiness.
