Lockheed Martin has completed its acquisition of Amentum’s Rapid Solutions business, which provides space and airborne mission capabilities and will bolster Lockheed’s national security offerings by adding advanced radar and ISR technologies, the company said.
“We’re excited to officially welcome Rapid Solutions to the Lockheed Martin team,” said Robert Lightfoot, president of Lockheed Martin Space. “Its highly skilled workforce and key radar and payload technology will play an integral part in Lockheed Martin’s ability to anticipate customer needs and maintain national security infrastructure.”
Rapid Solutions, a multi-domain provider of space and airborne mission capabilities including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies, strengthens Lockheed Martin’s ability to address evolving threats. Combined with Lockheed’s space-based systems, its radar technologies support the Golden Dome for America architecture, giving customers greater situational awareness and decision-making advantage.
“Lockheed Martin is growing its portfolio to meet increased customer demands for domain awareness and real-time missions,” said Tahllee Baynard, vice president of the Ignite rapid development team at Lockheed Martin Space. “The acquisition of Rapid Solutions not only positions us more competitively for critical national security missions, but also reinforces a continued investment in leading the nation’s defense capabilities and driving innovation across the industry.”
The Rapid Solutions team will be integrated into the Lockheed Martin Space business area.
