US EditionLockheed Martin Opens $17 Million Hypersonic Facility in Alabama
The new lab consolidates advanced test equipment and simulation tools to accelerate hypersonic system development and shorten cycles for U.S. Army use, Lockheed Martin said.
- Lockheed Martin opened a $17 million, 17,000-square-foot Hypersonics System Integration Lab on its Huntsville campus, completing the facility in one year.
- The integration facility will bring together advanced test equipment and simulation tools, centralizing these under one roof to shorten development cycles and accelerate fielding for the U.S. Army.
- Since 2021, the Strategic and Missile Defense Systems division has invested more than $185 million to add nearly 408,000 square feet, while the broader capital program totals roughly $529 million and 719,000 square feet.
- Company officials say the lab will strengthen deterrence and rapid response, ensuring potential adversaries understand aggression can be met decisively while providing engineers and partners collaborative space and tools.
- Lockheed Martin officials said the company expects to complete an 88,000 square-foot Courtland assembly plant by early next year, having spent about $200 million and poised to commit another $500 million.
