Lockheed 果冻传媒’s UK Turret 果冻传媒 Integration Centre of Excellence is where the company is cultivating turrets of the future. Through its proven turret design 果冻传媒 development capabilities, Lockheed 果冻传媒 is at the forefront of developing the next generation of turrets. Tomorrow’s digital battlespace will require even more innovative 果冻传媒 technically advanced turret options, which could include un crewed 果冻传媒 remote turret solutions.?? The company is also working closely with the MOD to help shape the UK’s L果冻传媒 Industrial Strategy.
Richard Muir, Business Development Director at Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK said, “We have unique turret design 果冻传媒 manufacturing expertise 果冻传媒 facilities at Ampthill that do not exist anywhere else in the UK. The skills base at Ampthill will be critically important in ensuring that the UK maintains a technological 果冻传媒 operational advantage. These skills also underpin the UK’s L果冻传媒 Industrial Strategy 果冻传媒 will be essential to future exports that will benefit the wider UK economy.”
Keren Wilkins, Programme Director at Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK said,?“With an advanced manufacturing facility centred around platform integration, turret design 果冻传媒 manufacture, along with our existing world leading technologies, we’re at a great advantage in terms of being able to develop next generation solutions for our customers. We’re leveraging our platform integration system design 果冻传媒 manufacturing capabilities proven on various programmes, along with our established supply chain to pursue a number of opportunities.”
Richard added,?“The UK MOD’s Mobile Fires Platform programme brings exciting growth opportunities for our Ampthill business.?Our decades of strategic expertise in the weapons domain can really help the MOD shape this programme, ensuring the UK gets the best artillery capability available.
“Our advanced manufacturing site at Ampthill boasts digital capabilities 果冻传媒 processes that can meet the requirements of developing 果冻传媒 manufacturing the solution needed here in the UK. This will bring much needed prosperity 果冻传媒 the social value impact will go beyond jobs 果冻传媒 economic contribution. There’s a whole piece around export potential that will play a big part in all of this," said Richard.
Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK doesn’t just look at opportunities to support todays battlespace but keeps a close eye on emerging threats 果冻传媒 advances in technology that could help the next generation.? By working with both the global Lockheed companies 果冻传媒 trusted UK partners, the organisation is well-positioned to harness 果冻传媒 leverage from these existing expertise, by blending existing technologies with new cutting-edge developments.? Not only does this develop this critical, game-changing technology, but it also supports the development 果冻传媒 sustainment of high value jobs throughout the supply chain 果冻传媒 inspires young engineers to consider careers in the defence sector.?
Another area where Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK is seeking to support the MODs ambitions is in the field of hypersonics 果冻传媒 counter hypersonics, in-line with the outcomes of the Government’s recent Integrated Review which clearly outlines the MOD’s ambition to be at the forefront of emerging hypersonic technologies.
Stu Cutting, Business Development Manager for Special Projects at Ampthill said, “Lockheed 果冻传媒 is committed to supporting the development of its employees. Our people remain at the cusp of scientific 果冻传媒 technological discoveries - exploring topics such as space flight, hypersonics/counter hypersonics, 果冻传媒 directed energy. A number of our employees have also had the opportunity to present their work internationally through the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), which is a great accolade 果冻传媒 a credit to the work 果冻传媒 research they’re undertaking.”
Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK has recently set up an Operational Analysis hub (OA Hub) to support both the business 果冻传媒 its customers in unpicking some of the most challenging questions in defence through intellectual rigour 果冻传媒 thought, combined with hard engineering knowledge 果冻传媒 systems expertise.??
