Today, at the Farnborough Air Show, Skunk Works®, the renowned
Advanced Development Programs division of Lockheed Martin (NYSE:
LMT), and KX, a global leader in vector-based, time-series data
management, announced a new collaboration focused on the evolution
of Open Mission System architectures.
KX has engaged with Skunk Works to combine kdb+, the world’s
fastest analytical database for time-series data, with Lockheed
Martin’s leading-edge and next-generation AI and data tooling
technologies. KX has cornerstone locations in the United Kingdom
and the formal collaboration will create a UK-sovereign, real-time
situational awareness model that can be applied across the armed
forces for combined joint all-domain command and control (CJADC2),
which will allow for greater connectivity, coordination, and faster
access to data for enhanced decision-making and operational
agility.
The two organisations have been experimenting and showcasing
innovation and competitive advantage in the provision of real-time,
data-driven decision-making capabilities that allow operational
users to respond more quickly to threats in theatre.
These collaborative efforts evidence Lockheed Martin’s
commitment to partnering with UK industry, and all allies, to
demonstrate interoperability with international sovereign
systems.
“Skunk Works has a long history of innovation and incorporating
cutting-edge technologies into our systems”, explained Atherton
Carty, vice president of business development at Skunk Works. “Our
work with KX is part of an initiative to add unique capabilities to
our systems through expanded relationships with specialized
industry suppliers. Skunk Works develops solutions that keep our
customers ahead of ready, leveraging the expertise of in-country
companies to build stronger alliances is a key enabler for us to
support our domestic and international customers’ mission
needs.”
“Today marks a major milestone for KX,” said Gary Connolly, vice
president aerospace, defence and space at KX. “Skunk Works
continuously pushes the technological boundaries of performance and
innovation, while KX has a proven ability to deliver unmatched
value to those who operate in the toughest data management
environments. Together, we endeavour to make data more accessible,
enhance operational decision-making at scale, and deliver
information to the warfighter exactly when it’s needed.”
