Taiclet said Lockheed Martin is planning to drive long-term growth with its R&D and capital spending approaching $4 billion in 2023. A big part of that growth strategy will be its process transformation efforts.
He said:
"A key driver of this strategy is our new 1LM transformation, or as we call it, 1LMX, a multibillion-dollar, 7-year, company-wide program to transform our end-to-end business processes and systems. 1 will create a model-based enterprise with a fully integrated digital thread throughout the design, build and sustain product life cycle. And part — as part of our ongoing corporate stewardship approach — we are conducting an internal review to identify potential synergies between our 4 business areas, further cost-reduction opportunities and a general portfolio review with the goal of increasing operating efficiency in anticipation of our future growth."
Lockheed Martin said that it is preparing for strong demand across its products and services globally. Lockheed Martin's product portfolio includes the F-35 Lightning fighter, Sikorsky helicopters and various missile and space systems.
