BETHESDA, Md., April 4,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and
Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC) are leveraging their expertise in
technology and communications to bring together innovative
5G-capable solutions, enabling faster and more decisive actions for
21st century security. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed
late last year expands the ongoing strategic relationship between
the two companies to align 5G-enabled hardware and software
solutions for the Department of Defense (DOD).
"This collaboration between Intel and Lockheed Martin will help
accelerate delivery of secure 5G.MIL® solutions to
achieve network effects for our customers that will enable prompt,
data-driven decisions by military commanders across all operational
domains," said Dan Rice, vice
president of 5G.MIL® Programs at Lockheed Martin. "As
security risks evolve and opportunities to leverage 5G emerge,
staying ahead of the threat landscape is more critical than
ever."
Intel's proven 5G solutions are integrated into Lockheed
Martin's 5G.MIL® Hybrid Base Station, which acts as a
multi-network gateway for ubiquitous communications between
military personnel and current and emerging platforms such as
satellites, aircraft, ships and ground vehicles. Additionally,
Lockheed Martin leverages Intel's advanced processor technologies
and innovations on network as well as edge, to bring cloud
capabilities to the areas of tactical need. This ensures
data-driven decision making across air, sea, land, space and
cyber domains in support of national security efforts.
"Together, Intel and Lockheed Martin are utilizing the power of
5G to deliver greater connectivity, faster and more reliable
networks, and new data capabilities to the DOD," said Dan Rodriguez, corporate vice president at
Intel. "This shows how cloud, network and edge technologies that
are proven in enterprise implementations can also bring significant
value to the tactical needs of modern defense systems."
The companies have worked together for a decade and previously
collaborated to provide the U.S. military and commercial customers
significant advances in secure, reliable, high-performance cloud
and edge computing. The companies' collaboration has already
successfully improved the security and resiliency of the
communications from the enterprise cloud to service members in the
field. In late 2021, Lockheed Martin and Intel, using Lockheed
Martin's 5G-enabled ground vehicles, demonstrated how hardened
security and 5G.MIL capabilities in cloud computing can enhance
survivability capabilities for military personnel. Further work
together on a relocatable 5G Hybrid Base Station prototype for
Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations will be leveraged in the
Open Systems Interoperable and Reconfigurable Infrastructure
Solution (OSIRIS) for 5G network testbed infrastructure, which uses
Intel technologies and is located at USMC Base Camp Pendleton in
Oceanside, California.
The two companies have also worked together on advanced
semiconductor packaging applications for high-density electronics,
which led to collaboration on the State-of-the-Art Heterogeneous
Integrated Packaging (SHIP) prototype project and will continue
exploration of additional opportunities.
Lockheed Martin's strategic collaborations with industry-leading
companies like Intel align with its vision to create 5G.MIL defense
and deterrence solutions. These solutions bridge commercial
technologies into future DOD capabilities that enable Joint All
Domain Operations and Joint All Domain Command and Control.
