The Global Aerospace & Defense Market is in a major upswing phase marked by rising defense spending globally as the dark shadow of geopolitical conflicts returns to haunt mankind as the traditional, rule-based world order faces a serious challenge from the revisionist powers and traditional, below the surface geopolitical fault lines experience renewed tectonic friction leading to breakout of armed conflicts across the Middle East and Europe. The resurgence of Russia as Europe's regional hector and China's military ascendancy as the regional bully in the Pacific along with the Gordian knot of a nuclear-armed North Korea and almost-nuclear Iran; collectively pose a serious challenge to the U.S.-led traditional world order while also directly threatening nations located across Europe and the APAC regions respectivelyFurther, the return of Trump to White House and looming uncertainty over policy direction and America's continued military support under him for NATO and other regional allies located across Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions is likely to drive a further surge in defense spending globally, which has already touched record levels, going forward and has been leading to a surge in order intakes and backlog across industry OEMs. The same has witnessed massive efforts being undertaken to revitalize defense industrial bases across most regions globally to ramp-up production rates for core systems, like artillery, armor and missiles, and for rapid upgrade, modernization and recapitalization of in-service Cold War-era legacy defense systems, with the initiation of FCAS, GCAP and MGCS programs, being prime examples. China's mass deployment of almost 800 5th generation J-20 jets so far and the active development of J-36 & J-XX/J-50 6th generation fighter jet platforms and the H-20 long-range bomber present the most formidable challenge to the traditional & virtually absolute American aerial dominance & overmatch in the 21st century. American response, in form of the NGAD program featuring adaptive cycle engines, seemingly, is just around the cornerAgainst this backdrop, the report provides a comprehensive analysis into Lockheed Martin's overall strategy playbook featuring detailed insights into the overarching, near-to-medium term strategy focus and key strategies & plans being crafted by the company to adroitly navigate the emerging market landscape and effectively capitalize upon upcoming growth opportunities, in form, of the surging global defense spending and demand for the replacement & modernization of Cold War-era legacy defense systems with next generation systems and technologies. Lockheed Martin's strategy focus clearly has the F-35 Lightning-II program at the core, which already accounts for almost a third of the company's topline, whose production needs to ramp-up to 156 units annually along with mass integration of Technology Refresh 3 (TR3) upgrades over near term and Engine Core Upgrades (ECU) on the existing F135 engine towards the end of the current decade. Further, surging global demand for missiles, missile defenses and precision fire amid the ongoing wars across the Middle East and Europe regions has already given a tremendous boost to the demand for Lockheed's Javelin ATGM, PAC-3 MSE, THAAD, HIMARS and GMLRS systems along with F-16 jets while emerging geopolitical challenges have already mandated and accelerated the development and fielding of hypersonic missiles by the U.S. with Lockheed Martin leading the R&D effort. Further, the outcome of the 6th generation NGAD program for the USAF is going to be pivotal for Lockheed Martin going forward from a long term growth perspectiveThe report provides a comprehensive analysis on the company starting with a detailed business and financial snapshot, incorporating charts, tables and comprehensive analysis based on latest financial statements.
