Lockheed Martin’s Aeronautics business (Fort Worth, Texas, U.S.) has selected Siemens Digital Industries Software (Plano, Texas, U.S.) Xcelerator portfolio of software and services to support its digital engineering transformation. Through a multi-year contract, the company plans to leverage Xcelerator to achieve its goals for mission-driven digital transformation — accelerating program lifecycles, driving cost savings and fostering greater innovation, including for composites processes and materials.
“Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is a leader in the aerospace industry, and their decision to expand adoption of Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio enables driving digital initiatives and winning programs,” says Tony Hemmelgarn, president and CEO, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Building off of our experience on the F-35 program [more on composite materials, fabrication, assembly and deliveries] and through close collaboration, Siemens is excited to help Lockheed Martin accelerate production and meet DoD [Department of Defense] contract requirements for both current programs and new initiatives.”
