Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT) is a major U.S. aerospace and defense contractor engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services for customers across the United States, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and other international markets.
The company operates through four business segments: Aeronautics (combat and air mobility aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and related technologies); Missiles and Fire Control (air and missile defense systems, tactical missiles, precision strike weapons, fire control, mission operations support, and ground vehicles); Rotary and Mission Systems (military and commercial helicopters, surface ships, radar and laser systems, command and control, cyber solutions, and simulation and training); and Space (satellites, space transportation, strategic and defensive systems, and classified national security programs).
Lockheed Martin derives the majority of its revenue from long-term contracts with the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, intelligence agencies, and NASA, with additional international sales routed through the U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. The FMS framework is the standard mechanism by which allied governments procure U.S. defense equipment, making U.S. defense primes direct beneficiaries of allied defense budgets and a key channel for international revenue.
Founded in 1912 and headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, the company was originally known as The Lockheed Corporation before adopting its current name in March 1995. It is classified within the GICS Industrials sector, Aerospace & Defense sub-industry.
