Lockheed Martin secures F-35 logistics contract amid international data concerns
What happened
Lockheed Martin secured a contract to provide logistics and data management services for international F-35 partners. This contract addresses concerns raised by several foreign customers regarding the Autonomic Logistics Information System, which is used to plan missions, order spare parts, and view technical information for the Joint Strike Fighter program. Reports indicate that two or more countries threatened to withdraw from the program if their sovereign information was not addressed.
