Lockheed Martin secures US Army NGC2 prototype agreement


Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems was awarded a prototype agreement to partner with the U.S. Army and serve as a Team Lead to develop a data-centric Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) prototype.
Lockheed Martin will spearhead a collaborative effort with the U.S. Army, leveraging our C2 systems engineering and project management expertise to empower small businesses, nontraditional innovators and commercial technology providers including Raft, Hypergiant (an Accelint company) and others to scale their capabilities to NGC2.
NGC2 is an Army-wide, data-centric C2 transformation that enables commanders to make faster, and better decisions in the most dynamic and unpredictable environments. NGC2 will transform how the U.S. Army conducts digital mission command utilizing a data layer to provide a continuous common operating picture with a single, integrated view of the battlefield to enable swift and decisive action.
By leveraging Application Programming Interfaces and a Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA), Lockheed Martin is creating an ecosystem that eases third party integration, fosters innovation, accelerates development, and delivers transformative capabilities to the warfighter.
“The NGC2 effort is a central component of the Army’s transformation, and we are so proud to be playing a key role in its development,” said Chandra Marshall, vice president at Lockheed Martin. “We are committed to partnering with the U.S. Army to implement this complex system of systems solution to meet warfighter needs, advancing mission-critical capabilities.”
