Have you ever wondered what 21st Century Security® is? Or how it will advance defense tech for the US and its allies?

Last week, we hosted #SpaceImpactWeek, an annual celebration with the aim to educate, inspire and connect our community with the larger vision of #WorldSpaceWeek. With the theme of Space and Climate Change, we engaged more than 370 team members in volunteer projects to revitalize communities, support sustainability efforts and inspire the next generation. From planting trees and restoring habitats to fire mitigation and invasive species removal, our team contributed over 1,270 hours to protect our planet. We also reached over 2,680 students through hands-on STEM activities, sparking curiosity and discussions on how climate intelligence can shape the future of Earth and beyond!

We're supporting the US Army daily by: ✅ Ramping up production ✅ Proving operational readiness ✅ Critical flight tests and contract awards, and more From advanced helicopters to state-of-the-art defense systems, our integrated capabilities and cutting-edge technology ensures the safety and success of our soldiers.

We've established new benchmarks for innovation and efficiency by implementing the world's largest powder bed fusion machine for aluminum substrate printing. Our teams utilize augmented reality tools for pinpoint accuracy in component placement, and have integrated robotic automation into nearly every step, reducing schedule times by up to 25% while maintaining superior quality and reliability. This means faster production, fewer errors and greater flexibility to meet mission-critical requirements in record time.

O̶c̶t̶o̶b̶e̶r̶ Proptober! The Super Herc’s four turboprop engines equipped with 6-bladed propellors help it fly low for critical missions like rescues, airdrops and refueling. Thanks to the turboprop design, it can also handle rough airstrips without engine debris issues!

It all starts with the data. With tools like NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s 4D Earth and Space Observing Digital Twin, we're leveraging advanced technologies to analyze vast amounts of data to generate real-time insights—helping map Arctic ice and even predict wildfires. By harnessing the power of AI, we’re turning data into action, enabling forecasters to make informed decisions save lives and property when severe weather events occur.

AI is transforming the modern battlefield. Learn how we're helping the U.S. Army take advantage of new capabilities to prevent future conflicts. In one mission scenario, a launched effect provided autonomous overwatch guidance for a quadruped that navigated urban terrain with human and vehicle obstacles. This technology is designed to operate in environments with degraded or intermittent communications, and scale to many uncrewed systems. Click the link to learn more: 🔗 https://lmt.co/3NmE9Rv

🖥️ Software simulation + hardware tools = Hardware in the Loop. Rapidly evolving threats require quickly fielded solutions. Our ARISE digital engineering simulation environment allows us to do just that. Our common Hardware in the Loop includes an advanced suite of closed-loop testing capabilities with mission software and sensors operating in real-time embedded flight processors, saving time and resources across all programs.

Throwback to the first of five Super Hercs being delivered to the New Zealand Defence Force! New Zealand’s new C-130J fleet will support humanitarian and disaster relief missions while offering increased allied alignment, greater reach and proven performance. #ReadyForWhatsNext #C130J #SuperHerc #NewZealand #TBT

This World Space Week we're focusing on the powerful alliance between space technology and climate science. We have built and launched more than 100 Earth observation and weather satellites, providing a continuous look at our planet’s ever-changing landscape, weather and climate. We leverage our expertise in disciplines like Earth observation, remote sensing and artificial intelligence to address our intensifying climate challenges.
