Lockheed Martin just announced CMMT. Comet. By all accounts this seems to be their answer to mass manufacturing and asymmetric warfare. The idea that multi-million dollar missiles can only take out thousand dollar drones for so long. And…Perhaps an answer to Anduril’s Barracuda Missile. One of the biggest shocks of 2024.Comet may be just a single product. But it’s one of the first major outcomes of a much larger movement within Lockheed. One that seems to echo some of the Skunk Works ethos of the past. The program that landed us some of the most impressive aircrafts built on some of the most aggressive timelines.Lockheed is also undergoing a massive reorganization under the 1LMX initiative. 1LMX represents the largest internal reorganization in company history – a multi-billion dollar investment to re-engineer Lockheed’s processes from the ground up with a manufacturing-first approach, designing for production from day one.Chapters:0:00 – 0:40 – Intro to Comet0:41 – 1:16 – Iran’s Massive Drone Success1:17 – 1:42 – Russian’s Iranian Drone Production1:43 – 2:26 – Anduril and Barracuda2:27 – 3:17 – Lockheed’s New Missile3:18 – 4:17 – 1LMX4:18 – 5:09 – Warfare is Changing
