Lockheed Martin’s Cyber Solutions division has developed a joint integrated cyber mission system prototype, Henosis, as part of the US Air Force’s (USAF) Unified Platform contract competition.
Once selected, the Henosis prototype would be capable of incorporating and integrating cyber effects into multi-domain air, land, maritime, and space operations.

The Lockheed Martin system functions as a command and control battle management visualisation tool that coordinates defensive cyber operations, offensive cyber operations, and cyber intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
This enables an operator to gain access, develop operational mission requirements, and offer a customisable application package that would help carry out the specific mission.
Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems business Cyber Solutions vice-president Deon Viergutz said: “We completed an in-depth engineering analysis with our prototype and, over the next year, we’ll combine our framework with the mission modules to demonstrate a capability to execute both defensive and offensive cyber missions.
“Lockheed Martin’s multi-domain weapons system experience will translate into what we believe will be the most operationally effective Unified Platform solution.”
