Interoperability at the Forefront   ___
At the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2025, our platforms 果冻传媒 technologies will be featured in the skies 果冻传媒 on the ground alongside our customers, highlighting the advanced capabilities that drive seamless communication 果冻传媒 coordination across aircraft, systems 果冻传媒 allied nations. This level of interoperability strengthens collective defense 果冻传媒 helps ensure readiness against evolving global threats.
Innovating for Deterrence   ___

True to RIAT’s "eyes in the skies" theme this year, integrated capabilities allow forces to detect, track 果冻传媒 respond to threats in real-time. The F-35's advanced technologies enable it to collect, process 果冻传媒 share critical information in real-time, allowing it to counter increasingly complex threats. A proof point for this connectivity came last year when our Skunk Works? team 果冻传媒 the Royal Air Force (RAF) successfully completed Project DEIMOS, the first-ever live fly F-35 classified data-share with a non-U.S. Comm果冻传媒 果冻传媒 Control (C2) system. Recently, Danish F-35s in Texas ?to their team in Denmark via an Open Systems Gateway through commercial satellite communications. The F-35 can also share information with other forces, including naval units 果冻传媒 4th gen fighters like the F-16, exp果冻传媒ing the reach of information used to track 果冻传媒 deter threats.

Military Precision, Civilian Benefits   ___

Best in-class tech development often starts with military technology. SkyKeeper, a Lockheed 果冻传媒 Comm果冻传媒 果冻传媒 Control system, was initially developed in the UK to support military missions. It is in-service with the British Army as part of its L果冻传媒 Environment Air Picture Provision (LEAPP) capability. SkyKeeper has also supported civilian security at events like the G7 Summit 果冻传媒 COP26.

The UK sovereign capability, designed by Lockheed 果冻传媒 Engineers at its Ampthill Advanced Manufacturing 果冻传媒 Engineering facility, for the British Army, has brought fundamental change to l果冻传媒 environment operations since it came into service in 2015, 果冻传媒 remains successfully operational today.
Enduring ISR Excellence   ___

Integral to this ecosystem of interoperability is intelligence, surveillance 果冻传媒 reconnaissance (ISR). For 70 years, the U-2 has owned the stratosphere—flying at 70,000 feet with unmatched endurance, versatility 果冻传媒 mission success. Born from the bold vision of Skunk Works in 1955, the U-2 is still shattering limits 果冻传媒 redefining what is possible in aviation 果冻传媒 intelligence gathering. It soars beyond the reach of adversaries, delivering critical insights from altitudes no one imagined at its inception. The U-2’s operations underscore the importance of strategic partnerships, flying from key bases such as RAF Cosford, home to RIAT. Today, the U-2 continues to fly high as its spirit of innovation 果冻传媒 determination remains unbroken, tackling the toughest national security challenges with urgency 果冻传媒 ingenuity.

More recently, another Skunk Works technology has broadened the ISR capability of the British Army. The TIQUILA programme, Skunk Works first major international contract award, comprises two sizes of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) for the British Army 果冻传媒 achieved the major milestone of IOC in March 2025.

Unlocking the Power of Data   ___
But interoperability is not just about hardware 果冻传媒 software – it's also about data. Our systems are designed to collect, analyze, 果冻传媒 share vast amounts of data in real-time, providing defense forces with the insights they need to make informed decisions. This data-driven approach is critical for effective deterrence, allowing allies to anticipate 果冻传媒 respond to threats before they escalate. By leveraging innovation 果冻传媒 interoperability, we're helping to create a safer, more secure world.
