“Lockheed Martin is leveraging expertise in the commercial
sector to scale, adapt and integrate 5G technology rapidly and
affordably across mission-critical operations across land, sea,
air, space and cyber domains,” said Dan Rice, vice president for
5G.MIL Programs at Lockheed Martin. “Keysight’s end-to-end 5G test
platforms, widely used commercially, provide an opportunity to
develop customized solutions that meet the stringent requirements
of the defense industry.”
5G brings high-speed data rates, connection density,
trustworthiness and low latencies to wireless communications
networks. The collaboration advances Lockheed Martin’s 5G.MIL
vision to support secure and resilient connectivity for defense and
national security applications. It also aims to adapt commercial 5G
technology to meet tactical communications needs in terrestrial and
non-terrestrial networks operated by the Department of Defense.
Working with Keysight on automated test cases to evaluate cyber
security and vulnerabilities across all 5G components and
interfaces, Lockheed Martin is also able to determine the cyber
resiliency of its 5G-enabled solutions across the lifecycle – from
development through operations.
“Deployment of future-proof, seamless and secure communication
links serving operations across ground, sea and air depends on the
successful integration of 5G, satellite, unmanned aerial vehicle,
artificial intelligence and cloud technologies,” said Vince Nguyen,
general manager for Aerospace Defense Government Solutions at
Keysight Technologies. “Leveraging Keysight’s portfolio of
flexible, scalable, and fully automated test, measurement,
verification and optimization tools, Lockheed Martin has
implemented the most advanced testbed for 5G and hybrid networks
that we have seen in the aerospace and defense industry.”
The testbed, which reached initial operational capability in
July, will help Lockheed Martin’s 5G.MIL teams quickly verify
interoperability and performance with a wide range of 5G assets and
simulate reliable and secure communications. Since that time, both
companies have worked together to emulate, test and validate 5G
Open Radio Access Network and Non-Terrestrial Network
communications. Through a strategic collaboration memorandum of
understanding, the companies will incorporate additional
capabilities to support emerging research and development needs and
to remain current with the latest 5G advancements and beyond.
