Defense giants Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall have joined forces in a new agreement to develop next-generation military equipment.
This teamwork will focus on land, air, and sea defense systems, along with training and maintenance solutions.
The collaboration will involve several areas including:
- Launching powerful new rocket artillery systems
- Developing cutting-edge laser weapon technology
- Creating advanced simulation and training programs for land vehicles and helicopters
- Bolstering short-range air defense capabilities
Officials from both companies emphasized the importance of this partnership. They believe it will create new business opportunities on a global scale, while also supporting German jobs and technical expertise in the defense sector.
This agreement builds on a history of successful collaboration between the two companies. For instance, they’ve already partnered on the German F-35 program and the GMARS rocket launcher system.
Lockheed Martin sees Germany as a key partner and aims to expand its collaborations with German firms like Rheinmetall. They view this teamwork as a way to combine their strengths and deliver superior technology to their customers.
The deal is expected to create hundreds of new jobs in Germany and further strengthen the country’s position in the defense industry.
