Intel teams up with Lockheed Martin for Military 5G

Intel Corp. and Lockheed Martin have joined forces to provide 5G-enabled hardware and software solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense. The companies have signed an MoU to expand the ongoing relationship to develop and align 5G technologies.

 

The tech giant and aerospace military contractor are working to design secure 5G base stations for the U.S. military for communications between personnel, aircraft, ships and ground vehicles. The companies have collaborated for more than a decade and have worked to provide cloud and edge computing to the military.

 

Dan Rice, vice president of 5G.MIL programs at Lockheed Martin, said, “This collaboration between Intel and Lockheed Martin will help accelerate delivery of secure 5G.MIL solutions to achieve network effects for our customers that will enable prompt, data-driven decisions by military commanders across all operational domains. As security risks evolve and opportunities to leverage 5G emerge, staying ahead of the threat landscape is more critical than ever.”

 

Intel and Lockheed worked together in the past on military connectivity projects. Last year, the companies used Lockheed’s 5G-enabled ground vehicles to demonstrate how hardened security and 5G.MIL capabilities in cloud computing make military personnel safer.

 

Dan Rodriguez, corporate vice president at Intel, commented, “Together, Intel and Lockheed Martin are utilizing the power of 5G to deliver greater connectivity, faster and more reliable networks, and new data capabilities to the DOD. This shows how cloud, network and edge technologies that are proven in enterprise implementations can also bring significant value to the tactical needs of modern defense systems.”

 

The base station will leverage Intel‘s FlexRAN software reference architecture, a 5G RAN reference software stack that Intel provides for enabling 5G base stations on Intel architecture, which essentially allows Lockheed Martin to bring 5G to the edge to deliver new computing capabilities.
