Lockheed Martin Introduces Strigo Modular Defense Platform to Speed Advanced Sensor and Missile Deployments

Lockheed Martin has officially unveiled Strigo™, a new family of modular defense technologies designed to accelerate the deployment of radio-frequency (RF) sensors, missile datalinks, and missile seeker systems across multi-domain operations.

Engineered on a shared, open architecture baseline, Strigo solutions can be reconfigured rapidly to meet evolving operational mandates-ranging from integrated air and missile defense to air-to-surface precision strikes.

To streamline manufacturing and speed up lead times, Lockheed Martin established a specialized Strigo Product Center. The facility operates as an agile development hub, offering ready-now and near-ready hardware packages that can be customized to match shifting defense requirements.

Proactive R&D and Hardware Acceleration

Operating out of the Strigo Product Center, Lockheed Martin conducts internal research and development to produce RF sensors and missile systems ahead of formalized government program requirements. This proactive manufacturing strategy ensures that hardware components are engineered, tested, and ready for integration as operational threat landscapes evolve.

Established less than two years ago, the Strigo Product Center has already guided multiple concepts through design, prototype fabrication, and physical testing. Technologies developed within the Strigo product line have already contributed to the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 2 seeker architecture.

Key Operational Drivers

• Rapid Concept-to-Delivery Cycles
Leveraging modular designs, Lockheed Martin transitions defense concepts from initial
schematics to validated hardware in months rather than years, speeding capability delivery
to military personnel.

• Flexible Allied Defense Support
The adaptable architecture allows defense planners to modify configurations quickly
in response to emerging regional threats, supporting strategic readiness across global alliances.

• Targeted Financial Investment
Lockheed Martin has allocated $250 million to date toward the Strigo Product Center.
This capital investment drives proactive research while leveraging modularity to reduce
long-term lifecycle sustainment costs.

Executive Perspective

“By putting proactive research and development at the forefront, the Strigo Product Center lets us test and deploy new solutions at unprecedented speed. That’s how we turn ‘what if’ into ‘what’s next’ faster than ever before,” said Stacy Kubicek, vice president and general manager, Lockheed Martin Sensors and Global Sustainment. “Leveraging our deep expertise in advanced sensor and missile technologies, this long-term investment reshapes the way we develop and deliver next-generation, mission-ready capabilities, ensuring our warfighters have the solutions they need the moment threats evolve.”
