Positioning

Lockheed Martin's space segment (~$13B annual revenue) has the deepest prime bench in national-security space: Orion (Artemis), GPS III, classified sensor programs, an SDA Tranche 3 win (December 2025), Terran Orbital as its smallsat manufacturing arm, and a HawkEye 360 investment. Its venture arm and Terran absorption show a build-buy-invest triple play. Segment financials are program-scoped (a filings pass owed).
