Lockheed Martin and Hadrian signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate the pace and value of advanced manufacturing at Lockheed. Under this agreement, Hadrian will deploy its factory-as-a-service model, which includes embedding a scalable machining manufacturing and inspection cell, to produce parts at a Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control site.
This flexible production cell is comprised of computer numerical control (CNC) machines, advanced robotics and Hadrian’s manufacturing execution platform, which will enable Lockheed Martin and Hadrian to increase production rates for a variety of machined parts quickly and efficiently. This includes products like the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE®), THAAD, PrSM and GMLRS.
“We are excited to collaborate with Hadrian to deploy their automated machining and inspection technology to strengthen our manufacturing capabilities and supply chain,” said Tom Carrubba, Vice President, Production Operations, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “This project is a key enabler for Lockheed Martin to increase production output capacity, ensuring we can meet the high demand for our customers’ munitions needs.”
