Lockheed Martin to acquire Amentum’s Rapid Solutions to strengthen ISR and space systems

Rapid Solutions’ portfolio is recognised for addressing critical national security challenges and aligns with Lockheed Martin’s strategy of rapidly advancing defence capabilities. The integration aims to strengthen the defence industrial base and enhance the delivery of vital technologies.

“This acquisition of the Rapid Solutions business within Amentum, a respected organisation for both its technology and talent, will enhance how we deliver essential capabilities to our customers’ critical missions,” said Tahllee Baynard, vice president of Ignite at Lockheed Martin. “Together, Rapid Solutions’ Electronically Steered Array and Lockheed Martin’s demonstrated production capability and discipline as a prime integrator will provide the industry with a strong cost and value proposition to foster competition and help us support national security missions.”

The move supports Lockheed Martin’s commitment to integrated solutions and increased innovation across the defence sector. The company is positioning itself to contribute to key national security programmes, including Golden Dome for America.

Following the close of the transaction, Rapid Solutions will become part of Lockheed Martin’s Space business area. The acquisition reinforces the company’s continued investment in advanced technology and mission readiness.
