Lockheed Martin is introducing a new family of modular technologies designed to give missile systems more flexibility across different missions.
At the center of the effort is Strigo, a suite of next-gen radio-frequency (RF) sensors, datalinks, and seeker technologies built on a common architecture.
The shared architecture allows the technologies to be quickly reconfigured for missions ranging from air defense and missile defense to air-to-surface engagements.
To accelerate the development of Strigo technologies, Lockheed has also established the Strigo Product Center, which will support research, development, and production.
The center maintains a pool of technologies that are ready or nearing completion and can be adapted as customer mission requirements change.
“By putting proactive research and development at the forefront, the Strigo Product Center lets us test and deploy new solutions at unprecedented speed,” said Stacy Kubicek, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin Sensors and Global Sustainment.
“That’s how we turn ‘what if’ into ‘what’s next’ faster than ever before.”
Backed by $250 Million
Lockheed has invested $250 million in the Strigo Product Center to lower lifecycle costs and support long-term sustainment.
The company said the center can accelerate development by moving concepts from initial designs to tested solutions in months rather than years.
It is also intended to deliver technologies that can be quickly adapted to counter emerging threats and changing battlefield demands.
“Leveraging our deep expertise in advanced sensor and missile technologies, this long-term investment reshapes the way we develop and deliver next-generation, mission-ready capabilities, ensuring our warfighters have the solutions they need the moment threats evolve,” Kubicek added.
