Lockheed Martin engineers provide services such as systems architecture and engineering, software development, laboratory support, and systems integration.
"Our controllers are looking after aircraft in some of the busiest and most complex airspace anywhere in the world, so they need systems they can rely on. Throughout the years, we have built a very close partnership with Lockheed Martin, and I am delighted to see this continue," says Martin Rolfe, NATS managing director, operations.
Lockheed Martin-built systems currently manage more than 60 percent of the world's air traffic, according to a company spokesperson.
