We’re working with multiple universities across the U.S. to develop cutting edge research.
This work will provide the Department of Defense and U.S. allies an edge when operating in the electromagnetic spectrum. With the University of California Santa Barbara, Georgia Tech and the University of Virginia, we’re creating photonic integrated circuits used for more efficient information transfer between sensors and processing nodes. We worked with Syracuse University to apply machine learning techniques for theoretical work as well as experimental research in the area of non-linear and sensor controls for multi-target tracking. Additional university collaborations include SUNY Binghamton, Princeton, Ohio State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Drexel University, Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the areas of:
• cognitive radio systems,
• mobile sensor control techniques in non-cooperative urban surveillance,
• collaborative comms jamming,
• autonomy in spectrum operations,
• and machine learning for signal detection and data fusion.
These technologies are crucial for maintaining control of our own communications systems or understanding how others are working to manipulate control of the spectrum.

We’re developing technologies aimed at the closing of the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) within the electromagnetic environment. We’re focused on “Observe” and “Orient” as we work with our industry partners on new innovations. Technical collaboration through cooperative research and development agreements with the U.S. military will certify these new technologies and open architectures so they can be applied to programs of record. An example of this type of collaborative R&D is our work with the Navy Research Laboratory that is looking to implement and test our jointly developed solutions onto existing hardware platforms. With the Army, we have several overarching cooperative R&D agreements that provide broad flexibility to establish tailored projects.

We’re actively demonstrating new technologies to many potential government customers. Furthermore, we continually look at proto-flight opportunities at government or customer proving grounds and/or activity centers. This is an important next action to work jointly with customers in testing, refining and ultimately proving the effectiveness of our solutions. Read on for a recent example.
“The Lockheed Martin/U.S. Army Multi-function Electronic Warfare - Air Large team demonstrated the first, comprehensive, airborne cyber/EW system through a series of proto-flight tests at Yuma Proving Grounds despite significant size, weight and power constraints. These tests were critical in helping the Army achieve the first milestone in realizing their vision and the viability of a modular open suite of standards known as CMOSS. They also represented a significant step in maturing the system and its path to production, and ultimate deployment to the warfighter.” – Clint Long, Lockheed Martin MFEW-AL Chief Engineer.

Through state-of the art facilities such as our Center for Innovation (also known as The Lighthouse) and hands-on Cyber/EW courses, we provide wargaming and training to commanders and operators to ensure they’re prepared for spectrum superiority as part of a larger set of multi-domain or joint all domain operations.
