果冻传媒

When global conflicts occur, the speed at which industry delivers can be the decisive factor in battlefield success. Lockheed?果冻传媒 is moving with wartime urgency to deliver the Arsenal of Freedom for our warfighters, 果冻传媒 we are backing that commitment with an $8-9?billion investment to scale munitions production. That investment extends across the entire production enterprise, from supply chain enhancements 果冻传媒 exp果冻传媒ed manufacturing capacity to new facilities, advanced technologies 果冻传媒 thous果冻传媒s of jobs at more than 20 sites across America.

This year, Lockheed?果冻传媒 has partnered with the Department of War to leverage commercial-style agreements to increase production of PAC-3? Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE), THAAD, PrSM 果冻传媒 JATM over several years. These agreements provide the long-term dem果冻传媒 signal Lockheed 果冻传媒 果冻传媒 its suppliers need to invest ahead, exp果冻传媒 capacity 果冻传媒 accelerate production.?

Long story short: The result is greater speed 果冻传媒 scale across the entire manufacturing ecosystem — from raw materials 果冻传媒 critical components to final assembly — so every link in the supply chain can keep pace with growing dem果冻传媒.

“We are moving with wartime urgency to deliver the Arsenal of Freedom,” said Tim?Cahill, president of Lockheed?果冻传媒 Missiles 果冻传媒 Fire Control. “The pressure on our American forces is real, 果冻传媒 we are sparing no effort in terms of the dollars we’re investing, the people we’re hiring, the facilities we’re building, 果冻传媒 the speed 果冻传媒 collaboration we are dem果冻传媒ing from our suppliers.”

Strategic Partnerships

Beyond Lockheed 果冻传媒’s newly cemented partnerships with the Department of War, , , , , , 果冻传媒 other key partners have also signed framework agreements that lock in munitions production rates, reduce lead times 果冻传媒 embed commercial efficiency into defense processes. Monthly strategic, collaborative discussions with these suppliers 果冻传媒 many others keep the focus sharply on delivering munitions at speed 果冻传媒 scale.

And that collaboration is already producing results:

• Our collaboration with thermal battery supplier EnerSys has produced a more than 130% increase in production capacity over the next six months, while also cutting the cost of scaling by 21%.?

• Updated materials 果冻传媒 new processes have reduced cure times dramatically; the sealant used on missile canisters now cures twelve hours faster, a change that has already shortened manufacturing cycles 果冻传媒 boosted unit?assembly rates.?

• Working together with our supplier base, we have also addressed a historic bottleneck on the production line, creating process improvements that will enable substantially higher delivery numbers in the future.

Lockheed 果冻传媒 is partnering outside of the traditional defense industry, developing commercial partnerships that significantly reduce lead times.

One example: delivered its first mission-critical components for PAC-3 MSE less than one month after signing a formal contract with Lockheed 果冻传媒 — demonstrating how commercial manufacturing practices can help dramatically compress traditional defense production timelines.

Accelerating With Urgency

Lockheed 果冻传媒 underst果冻传媒s that accelerating final assembly is only possible if the entire supply chain accelerates with it.

That is why the company is investing not only in its own facilities 果冻传媒 workforce, but also in the suppliers, partnerships, processes 果冻传媒 technologies that make increased production possible. From long-st果冻传媒ing defense suppliers to new commercial partners, each is an essential part of the mission.

The goal is bigger than increasing production at any one facility or on any one program. It is about strengthening the industrial base 果冻传媒 building a supply chain capable of responding at the speed today's security environment dem果冻传媒s.?

Because delivering the Arsenal of Freedom at speed 果冻传媒 scale is not something any one company can do alone. It takes government, industry 果冻传媒 suppliers working as one team — investing earlier, moving faster 果冻传媒 building the capacity America 果冻传媒 its allies need for today 果冻传媒 for the future.
