Why this matters

NextGen is critical U.S. aviation infrastructure modernization; this 16-year Lockheed contract underpins national airspace efficiency and safety.

Supply-chain signal

Lockheed Martin's dominance in FAA systems integration; sustained funding signals continued reliance on prime contractor ecosystem for air-traffic software.
