Lockheed Martin and Fujitsu Limited have announced a new memorandum of understanding to jointly accelerate technology development in critical defence areas.
The agreement, announced on 2 February, is expected to leverage Lockheed Martin’s integrated systems expertise and Fujitsu’s world-leading technologies and commercial scale to advance innovation of dual-use capabilities.
Through the MOU, the companies plan to strengthen the technological foundation for dual-use solutions in quantum computing, edge computing enabled by advanced sensing and real-time data fusion, artificial intelligence and machine learning, advanced microelectronics, and multi-domain next-generation network solutions.
“This collaboration accelerates technologies that are critical to meeting the future needs of our customers,” according to Lockheed Martin vice president and chief technology officer Craig Martell.
“Coupling the expertise of Lockheed Martin and Fujitsu across technology areas will be a force multiplier, advancing leadership in critical technologies like microelectronics, inference at the edge and quantum solutions.
“We look forward to our work together and delivering innovation with speed to our customers.”
The MOU expands on a May 2025 agreement that selected Fujitsu as the supplier of Lockheed Martin’s SPY-7 Subarray Suite Power Supply Line Replaceable Unit and established a strategic collaboration to strengthen Japan’s defence industrial base.
“We are honoured to collaborate with Lockheed Martin, a leader in defence technologies, on the development of advanced ICT technologies for future dual-use applications,” according to Vivek Mahajan, corporate executive officer, corporate vice president, and chief technology officer in charge of system platform, Fujitsu Limited.
“Through this collaboration, we aim to strengthen the competitive standing of both companies.”
