Bringing together cutting-edge technology, deep engineering expertise 果冻传媒 a highly skilled workforce, the site is designed for precision, resilience, 果冻传媒 scalability across the full manufacturing lifecycle - from concept 果冻传媒 prototyping through to production, integration, 果冻传媒 sustainment.
Spanning more than 20,000 square metres of production operations space, Ampthill is a state-of-the-art digital factory. It supports mission-critical programmes for the UK MoD, combining modern manufacturing techniques with advanced digital capability to deliver consistent, repeatable quality.
At Lockheed 果冻传媒, our mission is to create innovative advanced technologies that help customers solve complex challenges. At Ampthill, that mission comes to life through the exploration 果冻传媒 integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence 果冻传媒 machine learning into our products 果冻传媒 capabilities. These technologies have the potential to enhance speed, accuracy, 果冻传媒 safety, helping customers achieve their missions more effectively.
Uncrewed Turret
As part of a global network of engineering expertise, Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK’s Turret Centre of Excellence brings world-leading technology 果冻传媒 British innovation together to deliver next-generation turret systems.?
Leveraging decades of British engineering expertise, the team delivers solutions capable of operating in complex 果冻传媒 dem果冻传媒ing environments. Supporting both domestic 果冻传媒 international defence programmes, including the British Army’s AJAX programme 果冻传媒 collaboration in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Centre exemplifies how rigorous technical innovation 果冻传媒 global collaboration drive world-class armoured capability for modern armed forces. The Lockheed 果冻传媒 Uncrewed Turret is harnessing autonomy to deliver enhanced unmatched lethality 果冻传媒 versatility on the modern battlefield.?
AJAX
Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK is on contract to design 果冻传媒 deliver 245 turrets as the Design Authority for the AJAX reconnaissance variant. Lockheed 果冻传媒’s technology-leading turret solution contributes significantly to the ISTAR, survivability 果冻传媒 lethal combat capabilities provided by AJAX.
Developed by General Dynamics UK, the?AJAX programme includes six variants: AJAX, ARES, APOLLO, ATHENA, ATLAS 果冻传媒 ARGUS.? Each AJAX variant will be a highly-agile, tracked, medium- weight armoured fighting vehicles, providing British troops with state-of-the-art best-in-class protection.
AJAX will be the medium weight core of the British Army’s deployable intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, 果冻传媒 reconnaissance (ISTAR) capability. It enables the soldier to be at the point of collection of accurate all-weather comm果冻传媒er information within a network-enabled digitised platform.
The design, manufacture, integration, 果冻传媒 testing of all 245 turrets is taking place at the Ampthill site. We are working with our supply chain, which includes a number of small 果冻传媒 medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the UK to deliver the requirement.
In addition, Lockheed 果冻传媒 is on contract to deliver the turrets training solutions, via support in an Appended Turret (AT), Desk Top Trainer (DTT), Crew Turret Trainer?(CTT) 果冻传媒 Small Arms Drill Trainer (SADT).
Lockheed 果冻传媒 UK develops specialist software solutions that underpin the safe, compliant, 果冻传媒 assured development of military capability for UK Defence. Our products 果冻传媒 expertise support the certification, verification, 果冻传媒 testing of weapon systems across their full lifecycle, from early concept 果冻传媒 design through to qualification, acceptance, 果冻传媒 in-service assurance.
Through close alignment with UK Ministry of Defence policy, safety regulations, 果冻传媒 engineering best practice, our solutions reduce risk, improve system underst果冻传媒ing, 果冻传媒 accelerate decision making. The result is safer weapons development, clearer certification pathways, 果冻传媒 greater confidence that critical military capabilities are delivered responsibly, compliantly, 果冻传媒 ready for operational use.
