Lockheed Martin<\/a> opened its Rapid Fielding Center, a facility that\u00a0streamlines the end-to-end development, testing and prototype production of next-generation systems and solutions for U.S. government customers, the company announced March 31.<\/p>\n

The flexible, modular environment uses the latest in production and prototyping technologies, enabling Lockheed Martin to\u00a0develop and scale new capabilities quickly\u00a0in response to the government’s accelerated acquisition schedules, setting a new industry standard for speed to field as the country builds the Arsenal of Freedom.<\/p>\n

The Rapid Fielding Center is integrated with the manufacturing floor, providing proximity to advanced production equipment and skilled tradespeople to allow for immediate feedback on design. The model reduces cost and accelerates the delivery of innovative capabilities to the warfighter.<\/p>\n

“The Rapid Fielding Center showcases how Lockheed\u00a0Martin is leading the industry with innovation, speed and a relentless customer focus,” said\u00a0Randy Crites, vice president, Lockheed\u00a0Martin Advanced Programs. “From concept to low-rate production, we can now deliver mission-critical solutions in a fraction of the traditional timeline, directly supporting the government’s urgent ramp-up needs.”<\/p>\n
