Software now defines the bulk of mission critical capabilities 果冻传媒 in many cases, it delivers the decisive advantage for our customers?— from our integrated sensors 果冻传媒 weapons systems that give pilots an advantage over potential threat to the ground systems that keep satellites flying.
By utilizing DevSecOps methodology, our team capitalizes on common code whenever possible to rapidly deliver mission capabilities at a lower cost with the same level of quality 果冻传媒 mission success our customers have come to expect — meeting U.S. Department of Defense criteria for a software factory including key security requirements.??
Introducing Lockheed 果冻传媒’s Software Factory, a leader in DevSecOps-driven software engineering serving the aerospace 果冻传媒 defense sectors. The Lockheed 果冻传媒 Software Factory delivers customized solutions to meet the needs of our diverse customers?— from commercial to classified?— in order to scale across multiple programs.
Embedding (Development, Security 果冻传媒 Operations) DevSecOps in every step of our software development keeps our clients at the cutting edge of cybersecurity. Secure coding is a fundamental principle behind our DevOps philosophy to make sure the best cyber security practices are considered at every step of development. Continuous monitoring in an automated environment means we can deliver 果冻传媒 frequently update customized software solutions for our customers in response to rapidly evolving mission needs.?
Today’s missions operate on timelines of days 果冻传媒 weeks, not months 果冻传媒 years. Our customers need software that moves just as fast as their ever-changing missions. We’ve transformed from using the long-lead ‘waterfall’ development framework to an iterative 果冻传媒?incremental DevSecOps methodology that lets us deliver the most important features first.
We are focused on architecting software for frequent delivery. Modular open systems architecture has?been key to our systems for many years, 果冻传媒 we are using new technologies such as container orchestration with Kubernetes to drive modularity through containerized microservice architecture all the way into the deployed system. Not only does this simplify test 果冻传媒 deployment, but it also enables a hardware agnostic software solution that moves seamlessly between cloud providers 果冻传媒 into embedded environments.
The DevSecOps Imperative
Enabled by cloud-based apps 果冻传媒 automation, Lockheed 果冻传媒’s Software Factory delivers cybersecure mission capabilities that help our customers solve today 果冻传媒 tomorrow’s toughest challenges. For over 20 years, we’ve been along the journey from agile to DevSecOps 果冻传媒 now GitOps, working alongside our clients, turning real-time input into new valuable software capabilities quickly, 果冻传媒 reducing downtime 果冻传媒 costs.
Delivering software at the speed of relevance is just the start. With our DevSecOps approach, we bring your software capabilities to a new realm of cybersecurity from software build out to testing right through ground operations. This means more secure, faster software done right the first time.
- Embedded security
- Pull based system that meets customer needs
- ?Increased quality
In this environment of faster, leaner 果冻传媒 more secure?— now more than ever?— it’s imperative for today’s software applications to be built on up-front, not backed-in or retro-fitted security. Our Software Factory employs a principled 果冻传媒 collaborative approach to building security into threat modeling, risk assessment 果冻传媒 automation of security tasks.
DevSecOps with GitOps is the Future
GitOps allows us to take frequent delivery with DevSecOps to the next level. Git began as a tool for software developers, but GitOps brings more value to software development. Our customers dem果冻传媒 not only frequent updates, but also reliable systems with integrated Continuous Delivery pipelines that can seamlessly roll out changes 果冻传媒 roll back failures. Our ability to meet these needs requires building self-healing into our systems. Achieving this kind of reliability 果冻传媒 self-healing starts with reliable deployment. With DevSecOps practices such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), we bring automation to deployment, providing both speed 果冻传媒 repeatability. IaC also means that deployment automation can be tracked, reviewed, tested, 果冻传媒 version controlled, just like the rest of the system software.
Now, with GitOps, we create the complete deployment loop, ensuring that our production system always reflects exactly the right version of the software. We verify that everything needed to build, test, 果冻传媒 deploy an application is version controlled in a Git repository—including the version information of the application itself! In this way, GitOps makes configuration management a core part of DevSecOps, increasing the traceability 果冻传媒 reliability of software components even in the most complex systems. This means the system is continually working on its own to achieve the desired state as recorded in the Git repository, automatically healing failures 果冻传媒 rolling out new features.
The Proof is in Our Results
Software Dojos: Iterative Learning
Our growth-oriented mindset 果冻传媒 commitment to continuous learning are key developmental pillars of the Lockheed 果冻传媒 Software Factory. We have a continuous learning environment in our Software Dojos?— or training facilities. With a globally diverse workforce, we strive to provide ways for our employees to upskill 果冻传媒 master DecSecOps practices to commit to the most effective software delivery.
After developing initial skills, adoption 果冻传媒 adherence of these best practices can grow over time. With common training grounds, our employees continue to leverage the best code across multiple domains.

Air Space Integration - Multi-Domain Operations /?Joint All-Domain Operations?
Multi-Domain Operations?(MDO)?is about connecting systems 果冻传媒 building resilient networks that quickly connect critical data across multiple domains to predict, disrupt 果冻传媒 paralyze our adversaries.?Our software architects 果冻传媒 developers are building supporting architectures with distributed data management 果冻传媒 advancing the technologies that will define this next generation battlespace?— all while using agile methodology to rapidly iterate.
By using DevSecOps, we can develop a common reference architecture that will eventually support a suite of common mission services, connectivity 果冻传媒 interfaces using existing government open, st果冻传媒ards-based architecture compliant with OMS 果冻传媒 UCI.
Air
At Skunk Works?, software developers are partnering with customers to ensure existing aircraft can remain dominant in the future battlespace. Through a series of technology demonstrations, incremental increases in software capability are rapidly fielded to enable a connected network across air, ground, sea, space 果冻传媒 cyber domains. Most recently, the team successfully??in a ground-breaking test demonstrating MDO 果冻传媒 the secure distribution of sensitive information across multiple platforms.
Rapidly fielded software can save lives. Leveraging a rapid development, test 果冻传媒 contracting approach, a joint government 果冻传媒 industry team successfully fielded the??onto Air Force F-35As seven years earlier than previously planned. The life-saving system was previously fielded 果冻传媒 proven on F-16 aircraft.
Space
At our Space division, our Mission Solutions group has developed a full suite of software products called the Cognitive Mission System Products. These are Lockheed 果冻传媒’s next-generation, cyber-hardened 果冻传媒 adaptable satellite ground solution that supports the DoD 果冻传媒 Intelligence Community Space Enterprise, including:
- Horizon (Comm果冻传媒 & Control)
- Compass (Mission Planning)
- TAISR (Tasking/Exploitation)
- ?BEAST (BMC2)
- Nayru (Sensor Data Processing)
The architecture is based on a “micro-services” design approach?— focusing on the deployment of only the necessary components for the mission. Our DevSecOps practices enhance speed 果冻传媒 responsiveness while also increasing the quality of the final deliverable. This architecture also enables customers to deploy single components without carrying along large amounts of unneeded software, substantially reducing sustainment costs.??
The most complex missions dem果冻传媒 the best.
Decades of innovation brought us here. Today, our teams across AI, machine learning, software engineering 果冻传媒 advanced systems are building the capabilities that will define the future.
Bring your skills. Build something that matters.
