Our partnership is centered on securing the UK’s national interests while strengthening the country from within.
Partnering for Security & Prosperity
Lockheed Martin UK has an 85-year history in the United Kingdom, since it established its first facility to support the RAF in World War Two.
Today, Lockheed Martin’s presence in the UK sustains over 20,000 UK jobs and contributes an average of £2 Billion to the UK economy annually. From mail sorting technology to helping build the UK's first commercial spaceport, from supporting the UK’s strategic deterrent to building key parts of every F-35, we support the UK's defence, security and prosperity.

21st Century Security Solutions Across All Domains
We partner with the Ministry of Defence to deliver and integrate a variety of strategic defence and security programmes
Carrier Strike Group 25
We are proud to play our role in supporting the nationally important work of the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy on the UK’s Carrier Strike Group 2025 (CSG25) deployment, Operation Highmast.
F-35, Merlin Mk2 and Crowsnest are all integral to the UK’s Carrier Enabled Power Projection capabilities, and our people are proud to be onboard HMS Prince of Wales to support these capabilities during the CSG25 deployment.
The Vital Role of the F-35 in the United Kingdom
British innovation is embedded in every aspect of the F-35 programme.
More than 100 UK Tier 1 suppliers contribute to the most advanced combat air programme in world, helping to deliver unrivalled capability and interoperability to 19 global allies.
Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD)
Delivering Integrated Air and Missile Defence doesn’t mean starting from scratch when you already have several effectors in your inventory. Adding the right extra layers through strong systems integration can be the sensible approach.
Lockheed Martin offers decades of experience delivering IAMD solution from around the world with AUKUS and NATO allies. Read here to learn more about our integrated thinking and capabilities.
Space
We're committed to playing our part in helping the UK Government to achieve its ambition to make the UK one of the most prosperous and capable space sectors in the world, whether it’s through a sovereign vertical launch project in Scotland or helping the North East of England become a hub for the UK’s future space industry by investing in NESST.
Lockheed Martin has decades of domain expertise and the future-focused capabilities to help our partners get there, and we’re investing million in the UK Space Economy.
