Dawn Golightly Named UTIAMD Programs VP at Lockheed

Dawn Golightly has been appointed vice president of Lockheed Martin‘s upper-tier integrated air and missile defense, or UTIAMD, programs. Golightly announced her appointment in a LinkedIn post on Monday.

“This will be a pivotal year for our UTIAMD team, especially with our plans underway to evolve THAAD with advanced capabilities to protect America and our allies. We continue to demonstrate that we can consistently deliver reliable, combat-proven defense capabilities to defend what matters most,” the new UTIAMD VP wrote.
