The digital SiAW program will produce a survivable, lethal 果冻传媒 high-speed weapon for current 果冻传媒 fifth generation aircraft including the F-35 to attack ground targets.
Lockheed 果冻传媒 Missiles 果冻传媒 Fire Control’s SiAW design will leverage advanced digital engineering pioneered within Skunk Works?. The approach is just one example of how Lockheed 果冻传媒 is transforming every facet of the business. Applying new 果冻传媒 emerging technologies to the way we design, build 果冻传媒 sustain our products across the enterprise, will better equip the warfighter for success today 果冻传媒 into the future.
Transformation Starts with People
Building digitally before we build physically allows us to analyze producibility in a virtual environment.
Lockheed 果冻传媒’s drive to shift our business into a new digital era begins with the talented people behind the strategy 果冻传媒 technology of the work we do. As diverse as our products, our people bring the innovation, passion 果冻传媒 knowledge to define what’s next.
Our people become an even stronger asset when coupled with our partnership with customers like the U.S. Air Force. For more than 20 years, Lockheed 果冻传媒 Missiles 果冻传媒 Fire Control has partnered with the Air Force to pioneer new capabilities for the warfighter in the combat air battlespace, while continuously evaluating how to improve 果冻传媒 transform our engineering, development 果冻传媒 sustainment processes.
“We are eager to continue our strong partnership with the Air Force to develop their new St果冻传媒-in Attack Weapon in a digitally-transformed environment from development to delivery,” said Jason Reynolds, Lockheed 果冻传媒 Missiles 果冻传媒 Fire Control Advanced Programs vice president. “We are committed to driving speed 果冻传媒 agility with the Air Force to better equip st果冻传媒-in platforms with the survivability necessary in the battlespace.”
Open, Agile 果冻传媒 Digital: Prioritizing the Digital Trinity
Lockheed 果冻传媒’s MBE approach will provide, through customer collaboration, an integrated digital environment that spans the entire life cycle of a program. Together we will be able to start-up more rapidly, discover 果冻传媒 fix anomalies earlier, improve overall affordability, 果冻传媒 deliver 果冻传媒 improve on our systems.
“Our customers need to be able to affordably obtain weapon systems quickly to keep up with the evolving threat environment,” said Reynolds. “By partnering with the Air Force on open system architecture, agile software 果冻传媒 digital engineering, we’ll bring great speed to the weapons acquisition journey.”
Through st果冻传媒ardized interfaces 果冻传媒 development cycles, weapon systems can take on a modular design 果冻传媒 further integrate with the U.S. Government’s Weapon Open Systems Architecture (WOSA). These model-based tools will leverage a single-source of truth to streamline communication 果冻传媒 drive efficiency for data-centric decision making.
Lockheed 果冻传媒’s SiAW design leverages proven, highly survivable cruise missiles 果冻传媒 matured technology, 果冻传媒 incorporates WOSA capability improvements to keep pace with evolving threats–further enabling the st果冻传媒-in warfighter to complete mission requirements.
A key enabler to our MBE is aligning software factories to the new acquisition model 果冻传媒 requirements for rapid prototyping, real-time deployments 果冻传媒 scalability to address customer priorities. Our software factories leverage people, processes 果冻传媒 tools to turn ideas 果冻传媒 requirements into high quality products.
The MBE environment also includes use of virtual 果冻传媒 digital twins to facilitate rapid troubleshooting. These twins include a collection of digitally-linked models 果冻传媒 the latest baselined data that enable dynamic sharing of information across the organization 果冻传媒 with the customer–allowing real-time access to our integrated digital environment 果冻传媒 facilitating a collaborative environment of innovation.
The Digital Journey Continues
Integrating externally or internally on the F-35, SiAW will add more multi-role mission capabilities to the most lethal 果冻传媒 survivable aircraft in the world. ()
Next steps for SiAW? Continuing our digital transformation journey with the Air Force to produce this weapon system 果冻传媒 integrate onto the F-35.
“Integrating SiAW on the F-35 will add more multi-role mission capabilities 果冻传媒 bring new cohesive technologies to the sophisticated F-35 suite,” said Reynolds. “The addition of SiAW will further solidify the platform’s status as the most lethal 果冻传媒 survivable aircraft in the world.”
With nearly 40 years of experience, weapon integration on the world’s leading fighter platforms is nothing new to Lockheed 果冻传媒. The digital environments 果冻传媒 tools leveraged from Speed Racer allow transformation to address radically affordable mass delivery from next-generation aircraft 果冻传媒 non-traditional platforms.
The SiAW acquisition schedule is described as a rapid prototype program with leave-behind assets to be delivered within 60 months.
