Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) on Dec. 4, 2025 completed a live demonstration of AI‑driven mission contingency management (AI/MCM) using a Stalker XE Block 25 UAV and an Alta X 2.0 drone modified by Drone Amplified.
The test simulated fuel contingencies: within seconds the ground C2 system's AI analyzed options, presented re‑plans to an operator, reassigned the Stalker’s tasks to the Alta X and commanded the Stalker to return to base. A unified C2 node also managed an unmanned ground vehicle in Kansas and UAVs provided by Fulcrum, showing multi‑domain UxV control.
The team used STAR.SDK as part of the STAR.OS constellation to connect the contingency app to a chat assistant UI. Lockheed Martin described the demo as advancing autonomous unmanned operations and multi‑domain integration for warfighters.
