The Challenge
- Drones and AI are advancing quickly, creating new risks for military and homeland security teams.
- Staying ahead requires faster, smarter ways to spot and stop threats.

?
Executive Perspective
Lockheed Martin Vice President Paul Lemmo highlights three essentials for countering today’s drone threats:
- Smarter AI tools that help operators detect and decide in real time
- Flexible, open systems that connect across missions and technologies
- Layered defenses like Sanctum? that adapt to protect people and critical assets
?
Why It Matters
- Proven systems show what works in real-world missions. Lessons from air and missile defense technology like the?Aegis Combat System?give operators confidence that new solutions aren’t just theory—they’re built on technologies that have already protected lives and missions.
- AI-driven defenses close today’s capability gaps. Forces gain faster detection, smarter recommendations, and reliable responses against drone threats that are growing more complex by the day.
