Lockheed Martin and Google Cloud Collaborate to Advance Generative AI for National Security

Lockheed Martin and Google Public Sector have announced their intent to integrate Google's advanced generative artificial intelligence (genAI) into Lockheed Martin's AI Factory ecosystem. This collaboration will enhance Lockheed Martin's ability to train, deploy, and sustain high-performance AI models, accelerating AI-driven capabilities in critical national security, aerospace, and scientific applications.

"Using Google Cloud’s AI technologies allows us to explore a wide range of powerful capabilities to deliver innovative, reliable solutions that stay ahead of the curve," said John Clark, senior vice president, Lockheed Martin Technology & Strategic Innovation. Jim Kelly, vice president Federal, Google Public Sector, added, "Lockheed Martin and Google Cloud share a vision to bring new innovation to the industry with AI," highlighting the companies' shared commitment to driving progress in the field.

The integrated AI capabilities will be applied to enhance critical areas including advanced intelligence analysis, real-time decision-making, predictive aerospace maintenance, and optimized engineering designs, among others. Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform helps organizations train, deploy, and customize large language models (LLMs) securely and at scale, complementing Lockheed Martin’s AI Factory’s commitment to secure, reliable AI across global operations. This collaboration reflects both companies' shared commitment to trustworthy and secure AI deployment, adhering to the highest standards of security and reliability.
