Ready When The Mission Calls
Sustainment & Global Readiness
We are committed to improving readiness with reduced operating and sustainment costs.
The Launch Salute
A silent conversation, call and response, and sign of respect: this is a salute. The launch salute highlights the unspoken bond between ground crew and aircrew. One common motion that echoes trust, camaraderie and dedication to national security. This salute is where sustainment is personified. Where our work on the flight line comes to fruition.
Using advanced analytics and data-driven insights to improve fleet readiness, reduce downtime, and optimize sustainment operations.
Accelerating logistics and supply chains with real-time visibility, automation, and rapid response capabilities.
Engineering systems for long-term durability and mission-critical reliability across all operational environments.
Predicting failures before they occur through condition-based monitoring and intelligent maintenance strategies.
Customer Care Means Worldwide Support
Customer Care and Operations Centers across Lockheed Martin are the heartbeat of fleet success. Customer representatives fuel our partnerships; delivering a worldwide network of service, usage monitoring and safety.
Sustain to Remain: It Starts with Maintainers
Maintainers on the flight line and front line are the key link to mission success. And our nose-to-tail aircraft modification, maintenance, and repair services for both military and civil aircraft are the foundation of mission readiness. Lockheed Martin aviation technicians, engineers and program managers deliver affordable sustainment services to thousands of aircraft each year, keeping the fleet flying at a moment’s notice.
Delivering Readiness: Training and Logistics
We are advancing technology to increase training and sustainment effectiveness. The future of readiness is driven by augmented, virtual and mixed reality, distributed mission training, artificial intelligence and digital twins. Training is not one size fits all. We develop customized tools and systems for your unique needs. We start with your end goal in mind. We accelerate the pace of learning by connecting learning science and business models with advanced technology.
