His appointment comes as Lockheed pursues the Trump administration’s Golden Dome project, which intends to quickly detect, track and counter hypersonic missiles, aerial threats, drone swarms and other threats using artificial intelligence and real-time data.
In late January, President Trump signed an executive order to deploy and maintain a next-generation missile defense shield to protect the U.S. and critical infrastructure from foreign aerial attacks.
