Lockheed Martin Systems

Lockheed Martin Systems is the public contractor label NAVAIR uses for Lockheed Martin's mission-systems contribution to the MH-60R Seahawk, alongside Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation as airframe manufacturer. The label points most directly to Lockheed Martin Systems Integration in Owego, New York, which integrated MH-60R mission avionics, sensors, cockpits, and related maritime-helicopter systems before the same line of work became associated with Lockheed Martin's Rotary and Mission Systems and Sikorsky organizations.

The Owego systems-integration organization is important because the MH-60R is not only a Seahawk airframe; it is a shipboard anti-submarine and surface-warfare weapon system built around sensors, mission computers, displays, data links, and weapons integration. Lockheed Martin's own 2006 delivery release described the company as the MH-60R mission-systems integrator and supplier of the digital Common Cockpit avionics suite used across MH-60R and MH-60S helicopters.

U.S. acquisition records give the same role in contract language. The December 2009 MH-60R Selected Acquisition Report identifies Lockheed Martin Systems Integration as responsible for integrating the mission avionics systems into the helicopter, while Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation produced the air vehicle. That distinction is why the manufacturer label is preserved separately from the broader Lockheed Martin corporate name and the Sikorsky aircraft-manufacturing role.

Current Lockheed Martin reporting organizes comparable maritime, helicopter, combat-system, training, and mission-integration work inside Rotary and Mission Systems, with Sikorsky as the helicopter line of business. Older government and company sources may still use the Lockheed Martin Systems label for MH-60R mission-systems work, while related Lockheed Martin combat-system records may appear under the company's main manufacturer name.

  5. Rotary and Mission Systems business area established

    Lockheed Martin announced the Rotary and Mission Systems business area after the Sikorsky acquisition, providing the current corporate frame for much of the helicopter, maritime, combat-system, and mission-integration work connected to older systems-integration labels.

Older public sources use several closely related labels, including Lockheed Martin Systems, Lockheed Martin Systems Integration, and Lockheed Martin Systems Integration - Owego. The broader Lockheed Martin manufacturer name covers the parent corporation; this narrower label appears in NAVAIR and acquisition records for MH-60R mission-systems work.
