Lockheed Martin Canada is especially visible in naval combat systems and ship-integration work. Its CMS 330 combat management system was originally developed for the Royal Canadian Navy and is described by the company as fielded, exported, and in service on Canadian, international, and NATO maritime operations. The company says CMS 330 connects ship sensors, information systems, and effectors so crews can build a common maritime picture and coordinate offensive and defensive actions.

For Canada's River-class Destroyer Project, Lockheed Martin Canada was competitively selected to provide the design and design team for the future surface combatants. Canadian government procurement pages identify Irving Shipbuilding as the shipyard and prime contractor, while Lockheed Martin Canada continues as part of the design team developing the Type 26-based River-class design with Irving Shipbuilding. The program is planned for 15 ships, with full-rate production on the first ship beginning in April 2025 and first delivery expected in the early 2030s.
