Summary
Lockheed Martin Corporation is a preeminent American aerospace, defense, and security company headquartered in North Bethesda, Maryland. Formed in 1995 through the merger of Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta, the organization operates across four primary segments: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control, Rotary and Mission Systems, and Space. As a central pillar of the military-industrial complex, Lockheed Martin derives the vast majority of its revenue from the U.S. federal government, particularly the Department of Defense, with the F-35 fighter program serving as its most significant financial driver. While celebrated for technological achievements like the Orion command module and multiple Collier Trophy-winning innovations, the company has also faced public scrutiny from figures like David Sacks regarding operational inefficiencies and its influence within the defense sector.
