Lockheed Martin's experts say that defending the homeland against evolving threats requires a multi-layered approach that integrates various capabilities.
The company is working to connect satellites, radars, and interceptor systems into a single, cohesive defense architecture. Each layer of the system is designed to play a distinct role in the broader defense framework. For example, space-based sensing capabilities are being used to gather intelligence on potential threats, while proven interceptors like the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) are being used to neutralize actual threats.
The goal of this layered approach is to enable operators to respond effectively to a wide range of threats, from ballistic missiles to other emerging technologies. By integrating these various capabilities, Lockheed Martin aims to strengthen the nation's ability to defend itself against evolving threats.
According to the company, the key to success lies in matching the right response to the right threat. By combining the strengths of each individual system, Lockheed Martin believes that a layered defense can provide a more comprehensive and effective deterrent against potential threats.
The company's approach is focused on creating a flexible and adaptable defense architecture that can evolve with emerging technologies. By integrating multiple capabilities, Lockheed Martin aims to provide a robust and resilient defense system that can respond to a wide range of threats.
Lockheed Martin's layered defense approach is intended to provide a more comprehensive and effective deterrent against evolving threats, enabling the nation to respond more effectively to emerging technologies.
