The U.S. Air Force has added Lockheed Martin to Platform One, an advanced software development program that aims to accelerate the development and deployment of new software applications for defense missions.
Platform One is a standardized and widely mandated Defense Department DevSecOps Infrastructure program used for future software development. It enables faster software development and deployment with continuous updates to warfighters and will be used on programs like the Advanced Battle Management System and Aegis.
The Air Force recently awarded Lockheed Martin a basic ordering agreement for Platform One software DevSecOps services to support DevSecOps engineering, software development, cybersecurity and operations, and IT support.
Nic Chaillan, the Air Force’s chief software officer, said working with the private sector is vital to the success of Platform One and other advanced cloud and software efforts, “and we look forward to working with the Defense Industrial Base to improve the way we deliver fast, secure and high-quality code to warfighters.”
Software is at the heart of every system Lockheed Martin delivers, said Yvonne Hodge, senior vice president of enterprise business transformation at Lockheed Martin.
“Platform One is a truly innovative approach that is propelling the DoD’s DevSecOps evolution, and the collaboration with industry has helped us build infrastructure and capabilities that are well-aligned to the DoD’s vision,” she added.
