Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) achieved a significant breakthrough in military interoperability during the Ramstein Flag exercise. For the first time outside the US, they demonstrated live classified data sharing between an F-35 in flight and Keystone, a Dutch Command and Control environment.
The exercise showcased successful detection, identification, and transmission of targeting data from Dutch F-35s through Skunk Works' Open Systems Gateway (OSG) to Keystone, which then coordinated with rocket artillery to engage ground targets. The entire process was completed within minutes, marking a major advancement in multi-domain operations.
This breakthrough enables allied air and missile defense systems to receive precise targeting information from F-35s, enhancing their threat response capabilities. The achievement demonstrates the F-35's ability to integrate with international partners' command and control systems, strengthening collective defense capabilities.
Lockheed Martin Skunk Works® and Arquimea have successfully demonstrated an advanced anomaly detection capability for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms. The technology reduces the number of required sensor scans while improving the detection of changes in physical features through electro-optical and infrared spectra.
In demonstrations, the team simulated a small uncrewed air system (UAS) navigating through jungle environments, utilizing neural networks with episodic memories to identify physical changes. The system can generate unique environmental views even from previously unobserved angles, comparing stored memories with new observations using machine learning to detect irregularities.
The collaboration aims to enhance security, disaster response, and environmental monitoring capabilities. In 2025, both companies will explore expanding these techniques to improve other sensors and decision-making processes for autonomous systems, focusing on crewed-uncrewed teaming optimization.
JLens, sponsor of the JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. ETF (NYSE: TOV), has urged shareholders to vote against specific proposals at upcoming General Dynamics (GD) and Lockheed Martin (LMT) annual meetings. The proposals in question request a Human Rights Impact Assessment at GD and an evaluation of political activities alignment with human rights policy at LMT.
The shareholder votes are scheduled for May 7, 2025 (GD) and May 9, 2025 (LMT). JLens argues these proposals are motivated by the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement and aim to pressure companies to cut ties with Israel. Both companies' Boards of Directors have recommended voting AGAINST these proposals.
The TOV ETF, launched with ADL support, aims to combat what they describe as antisemitic and anti-Israel activities in corporate governance. JLens has filed Notices of Exempt Solicitation with the SEC opposing both proposals.
