Lockheed Martin and Verizon Collaborate to Advance 5G Innovation for U.S. Department of Defense
02 Novembro 2021 - 12:00PM
Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) have signed an
agreement to collaborate on 5G.MIL™ technologies that will provide
ultra-secure, reliable connections for U.S. Department of Defense
systems, bringing together high-tech platforms into a cohesive
network spanning air, land, sea, space and cyber domains. The
strategic relationship agreement also establishes a joint research
and development lab framework to prototype, demonstrate and test
5G.MIL technologies.
"Verizon is at the cutting edge when it comes to building out
reliable, high performance 5G Ultra Wideband networks with mobile
edge computing capabilities," said Kyle Malady, Chief Technology
Officer at Verizon. "Our work with Lockheed Martin will help enable
the creation of new and innovative products and technologies,
helping DOD leaders achieve the goals laid out in their 5G
strategy."
"Lockheed Martin’s deep understanding of DOD mission
requirements coupled with Verizon’s wireless expertise will truly
enable the Joint All-Domain Operations battlespace our customers
envision," said Rod Makoske, chief engineer and senior vice
president of Engineering and Technology at Lockheed Martin.
"Leveraging commercial 5G technologies with military-grade
enhancements will let customers field, scale and deploy this
technology faster and in more operational environments."
Lockheed Martin’s 5G.MIL program is a robust, 5G-enabled,
heterogeneous "network of networks" that integrates military
tactical, strategic and enterprise networks, and leverages existing
telecommunication infrastructure technology. 5G.MIL will enable
interoperability between 5G networks, NextG networks and
operational DOD networks to enable effective and resilient
communication across all domains.
Earlier this week, Lockheed Martin and Verizon conducted a joint
demonstration using a Verizon private 5G network installed at
Lockheed Martin Space’s 5G Test Range in Colorado, connected to a
Lockheed Martin open mission system processor running mission
applications at the Skunk Works® Integration Facility and Test
Center in Texas. Initial tests demonstrated interoperability
between Lockheed Martin open tactical gateway solutions and
Verizon’s On Site 5G network technology. Specifically, situational
awareness applications receiving Link-16 standard messages were
linked to 5G user devices. Verizon’s infrastructure and Lockheed
Martin’s open mission system tactical gateway technologies will
help to address future anticipated requirements for tactical
operations.
