The Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) 

In May 2017, the United States Navy and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) for four MMSCs. MMSC is a highly maneuverable multi-mission surface combatant capable of littoral and open ocean operation. It was designed from the keel up to confront modern maritime and economic security threats and will provide the Kingdom with enhanced maritime

Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) 

Lockheed Martin is supporting the U.S. government and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as they move forward with the procurement of the THAAD system. One of the world’s most advanced missile defense systems, THAAD can protect against incoming short through medium range missile threats, and will help strengthen global and regional security while supporting job creation and economic prosperity in the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. THAAD is rapidly deployable, mobile and interoperable with all other Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) elements, including Patriot/PAC-3, Aegis, forward-based sensors and the Command, Control, Battle Management and Communications system.

Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)

Lockheed Martin’s PAC-3 Hit-to-Kill interceptors provide high precision and unmatched air missile defense for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The PAC-3 family of missiles defend against incoming threats - including tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and aircraft - using direct body-to-body contact that delivers exponentially more kinetic energy on the target than can be achieved with legacy blast-fragmentation kill mechanisms.

Sikorsky Black Hawk Helicopter

The Kingdom is working with the U.S. Army to provide 57 UH-60M Black Hawks through the Foreign Military Sales channel. These aircraft are currently in production. The multi-mission UH-60M is the latest in the Black Hawk helicopter product family. It will bring new life to the existing fleet – improving effectiveness, reducing vulnerability and lowering operating and support costs. The Royal Saudi Land Forces have been flying the Black Hawk since it was first delivered in 1990. Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, is also advancing the agreement for the development of a local rotorcraft manufacturing capability as outlined in Vision 2030 enabling the production of up to 150 Black Hawk helicopters in the Kingdom.

C-130J Super Hercules

Over 50 years ago, Lockheed Martin entered the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the delivery of the first C-130 airlifter in 1965. Today, Saudi Arabia has the distinction of operating one of the world's largest fleets of Hercules airlifters. In 2016, the Kingdom received its first two KC-130J Super Hercules aerial refuelers, bringing proven and unmatched capabilities to one of the most recognized C-130 operators in the world.

Satellite Solutions

In 2015, Arabsat and KACST awarded Lockheed Martin a contract for two LM 2100-based satellites: Arabsat-6A and Hellas Sat 4/SaudiGeoSat-1 will provide advanced telecommunications capabilities to customers in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Hellas Sat-4/SaudiGeoSat-1 was successfully launched out of French Guiana in February 2019. Both satellites are the first to be built on Lockheed Martin’s modernized LM 2100 bus, which makes each of them more capable and flexible. The program also involved a crucial capacity building component for Saudi engineers, who have been given practical hands-on training at Lockheed Martin’s satellite manufacturing facilities in Sunnyvale, California.

Since the 1990s, Lockheed Martin has worked with Advanced Electronics Company on sustainment efforts for a variety of products, including LANTIRN targeting and navigation pods and the Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor. Together, we provide the Kingdom and the RSAF with advanced capabilities and technology to successfully maintain their defense fleets. Lockheed Martin is proud to partner with Saudi Arabia’s Advanced Electronics Company to repair sensor systems for Saudi Arabia’s F-15 aircraft since 2016.
