Lockheed Martin and Google Public Sector are teaming up. They will include Google’s advanced generative AI, with the Gemini models, in the Lockheed Martin AI Factory. The initiative will use Google’s AI tools in Lockheed Martin’s secure settings. These are on-premises and air-gapped. Staff can access advanced AI features, so national defense needs stay secure. The partnership wants to speed up data analysis across different modes. It also aims to simplify research and development and improve logistics using smart automation.

“Collaborating with Google Public Sector to bring Gemini on–premises underscores our commitment to delivering cutting–edge, secure AI capabilities that directly support our mission–critical programs. This initiative equips our engineers with powerful tools-safely and at scale-to accelerate innovation in support of our business and critical missions,” said Greg Forrest, Vice President of AI Foundations and Commercialization at Lockheed Martin. In its first phase, Google’s AI will be integrated into Lockheed Martin’s unclassified environment via Google Distributed Cloud. Jim Kelly, Vice President of Federal, Google Public Sector, added, “Our collaboration with Lockheed Martin is a testament to our joint commitment to bringing the power of generative AI to meet the needs of our public sector customers.”
