SKRYDSTRUP AIR BASE, Denmark, May 19, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Skunk Works and the
Danish Ministry of Defence (MOD) completed a successful live F-35
interoperability demonstration. This is another success in a series
of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) demonstrations proving the F-35's
ability to serve as a powerful force multiplier, enabling allied
forces to rapidly deploy ready-now capabilities to connect systems
across the battlespace.
Danish F-35s flying out of Fort Worth,
Texas, shared classified data via DAGGR-2, a Skunk Works'
Open Systems Gateway (OSG) developed under a partnership with the
Missile Defense Agency (MDA), through commercial satellite
communications and displayed at Skrydstrup Air Base in Denmark.
"This marked a significant milestone toward enhancing
Denmark's capabilities, as it
enabled our MDO staff to witness in real-time the potential of the
F-35's ability to collect, analyse and share advanced data across
geographically dispersed networks," said Danish Air Chief, Maj.
Gen. Jan Dam. "Our close
collaboration with Skunk Works has been instrumental in
accelerating the rapid deployment of such capabilities, and we're
very pleased with the results."
"This collaboration with the Danish MOD enabled us to do what we
do best at Skunk Works – rapidly deploy ready-now capabilities at a
pace unparalleled in the industry and prove it through real-world
flights," said OJ Sanchez, vice president and general manager,
Lockheed Martin Skunk Works. This demonstration builds on
our successful track record of collaboration with
international partners and defines what truly sets us apart: our
commitment to Open Systems Architecture, which enables seamless
integration across any platform, sensor, or shooter – regardless of
the manufacturer."
Lockheed Martin is committed to delivering open architecture
solutions that enhance multi-domain integration capabilities across
allied forces.
