The Lighthouse
The Center for Innovation (also known as The Lighthouse) represents the intersection of Lockheed Martin’s commitment to national defense and passion for innovation.
The center provides both a physical and virtual portal into the vast network of Lockheed Martin’s laboratories, research centers and engineering facilities.
Designed as a 50,000 square foot, high-end operations center, it is part of Lockheed Martin’s investment in global research and development programs and infrastructure.
It is this unique infrastructure, optimized for collaborative experimentation and analysis, which has facilitated numerous Cooperative Research And Development Agreements (CRADA), as well as Human In The Loop (HITL) experiments and analytical efforts, between Lockheed Martin and its government, international, academic and industry partners.
What We Do
We are the center for defense tech, multidomain integration, experimentation, wargaming, tabletop exercises, modeling and simulation, and decision analysis in both real and synthetic environments. We bring engineers and operators together to create Innovation.
We partner with government and industry teams to tackle complex problems and develop new concepts and capabilities.
Wargaming
Tabletop Exercises
Analytical Workshops
Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) Experimentation
LVC experiments are designed to exercise and assess the performance of various combinations of organization, procedures and enabling technologies under realistic, repeatable conditions in a tailored experimental environment.
Complex, Tailored Demonstration
Tailored demonstrations of concept platform, system, or system of systems performance are executed for each target audience of decision makers, influencers, customers and/or industry partners.
Modeling and Simulation
Modeling and simulation capabilities are shared through access to corporate and government networks into a single collaborative environment. This capability is highly agile and designed to support the rapid pace of innovation.
What's Inside
50,000 sq ft of reconfigurable space designed to immerse customers in an operations environment to address their most challenging missions
A resource available to government, industry, academia and international partners
Advanced suite of collaboration, analysis and decision support tools
Connectivity to secure government, academic and commercial high bandwidth networks
Numerous spaces to support break-out meetings and small workgroups
Live and virtual brainstorming capabilities
Immersive simulations and simulators, high-definition visualization, interactive video walls, and secure video teleconferencing
Exterior vehicle equipment pads and adjacent 6-acre cantonment area
Knowledge of both domestic and international protocol
Event logistics expertise (agendas, catering, hotels, transportation, etc.)
Who We Are
The Lighthouse team is staffed by trained specialists in operations analysis, information technology and audio visual, security, engineering, and operational domains.
Where We Are
The Lighthouse is strategically situated in close proximity to the largest concentrations of 3- and 4-star operational commands representing all U.S. military service branches.
These commands are tasked with manning, training, equipping, providing operational forces, concept development, doctrine, and conducting research and development.
We're engineering a better tomorrow.
