The work

I provide visionary guidance about the future of agentic AI and autonomy.

My expertise pertains to swarms of intelligent autonomous uncrewed systems (UxS) with distributed embodied intelligence that can accomplish complex missions in all domains of a contested battlespace.

What stays off the chart

Other than capabilities that are also addressed in other public information sources, Lockheed Martin work, technologies, and R&D aren’t discussed here due to a mixture of classified information, controlled unclassified information (CUI), export-controlled information (ECI), and/or Lockheed Martin proprietary information (LMPI).

What I can share is in my posts and talks, which are thoroughly vetted. For anything else, please go through Lockheed Martin’s official channels.

Opinions on this site are my own and do not reflect the official positions of Lockheed Martin.
