Lockheed renames MST business

Lockheed Martin said today it will rename its Mission Systems and Training business Rotary and Mission Systems, effective Sept. 5, to reflect the addition of Sikorsky Aircraft as well as work relocated from other parts of the company.

"The Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) portfolio features more than 1,000 programs, including helicopters, integrated air and missile defense, littoral warfare, undersea warfare, radar, electronic warfare, cyber solutions, C4ISR, and training and logistics systems," Lockheed said.

Late last year, Lockheed acquired Sikorsky, which it included in the MST business. The unit also added work previously housed in Lockheed's Information Systems & Global Solutions and Missiles and Fire Control businesses, including government cybersecurity work and mission support services, Lockheed said.

The Washington, DC-based Rotary and Mission Systems unit has five lines of work: C4ISR and undersea systems; integrated warfare systems and sensors; ship and aviation systems; Sikorsky; and training and logistics solutions. It has more than 35,000 employees, according to Lockheed.
