Air DefenseLong Range Discrimination RadarLong-range ballistic-missile discrimination radarLong Range Discrimination Radar is a Lockheed Martin-built, solid-state GaN S-band AESA radar at Clear Space Force Station, Alaska. It provides search, track, discrimination, and hit-assessment data for U.S. homeland missile defense, and the Space Force accepted it for operational use in 2025 after initial fielding in 2021.

Air DefenseNext Generation Interceptor (NGI)Ground-launched ballistic missile interceptorNext Generation Interceptor (NGI) is Lockheed Martin's homeland ballistic missile interceptor for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's Ground-based Midcourse Defense system. Official and GAO sources describe an extensible tip-to-tail design with multiple kill vehicles, new booster designs, and a 2028 fielding target.

Air DefensePAC-3Hit-to-kill Patriot interceptor missilePAC-3 is the hit-to-kill interceptor family for the Patriot air-defense system, built around active radar homing and direct-impact defeat of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and aircraft. The PAC-3 CRI and PAC-3 MSE variants give Patriot batteries a denser missile loadout than PAC-2 rounds, with MSE adding a larger dual-pulse motor and control changes for greater defended battlespace.

Air DefenseSentinel A4Air and missile defense radarLockheed Martin's AN/MPQ-64A4 Sentinel A4 is a U.S. Army trailer-mounted air and missile defense radar. It replaces Sentinel A3 with a digital X-band AESA sensor that detects cruise missiles, UAS, fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, and rocket, artillery, and mortar threats while feeding Army air-defense networks.

Air DefenseTPY-4Ground-based multi-mission air-surveillance radarLockheed Martin's TPY-4 is a U.S. ground-based, multi-mission air-surveillance radar for the 3DELRR program. The fully digital software-defined radar can be fielded in fixed or highly mobile configurations, detects smaller and harder-to-track targets in contested RF environments, and is transportable by C-130, C-17, truck, rail, or helicopter.

Naval SystemsAegis Combat SystemShipboard integrated combat systemThe Aegis Combat System is Lockheed Martin's shipboard combat system for U.S. Navy cruisers and destroyers. It integrates sensors, radar, displays, command-and-control, and weapons into a single detection-to-kill architecture for simultaneous air, surface, and missile defense, including the sea-based Aegis ballistic missile defense role.
