Lockheed Martin Space has qualified a 3D printing process to build titanium fuel tanks for satellites. Sciaky (a Phillips Service Industries subsidiary) announced that its Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) process had achieved qualification for making the tanks after testing that was part of a multi-year development program with Lockheed. Lockheed Martin printed both halves of the 46-in. titanium fuel tank domes on an American-made Sciaky EBAM 110 machine. The tanks met or exceeded NASA’s performance and reliability requirements, which will allow the tanks to become a standard product option on LM 2100 satellites. “Sciaky's EBAM technology is now the…

Lockheed Martin recently announced that its VISTA X-62A aircraft was flown by “an artificial agent for more than 17 hours.” The plane was developed as part of Lockheed Martin’s Visual Interactive Simulation Training Application, or VISTA. The 17-plus hour flight by an AI agent took place as part of a series of tests in December. Lockheed Martin Skunk Works developed VISTA in partnership with Calspan Corp. for the US Air Force Test Pilot School at the Edwards Air Force Base in California. It said the testing plane has been “fitted with software that allows it to mimic the performance characteristics…

Xaba and Lockheed Martin recently completed a collaboration to evaluate the automation of crucial manufacturing operations using the global aerospace company’s industrial robots integrated with Xaba’s proprietary physics-informed deep artificial neural network model, xCognition. Xaba and Lockheed Martin identified a use case focused on a typical robotics work cell used in any aerospace factory to test how Xaba’s xCognition “synthetic brain” could empower a commercial robot with greater intelligence and understanding of its body and the task it is about to execute while ensuring required quality and tolerances are achieved. The test consisted of two phases: Phase 1: Assessing the…

…out of jobs. This has been the experience at Lockheed Martin Corporation, where its use of AMRs has forged a tight working relationship between the workers and the robots. The warehouse associates even have names for the bots, who they see as helpers rather than competition. The monikers for the robots include Louie, Amy, Keoki and Little Joe. They draw on the names of key leaders who helped bring the robotics deployment about within Lockheed Martin’s Rotary and Mission Systems group, says Corey A. Cook, senior program manager and solution architect for Lockheed Martin. The nicknames also highlight the level…

…Humatics has received investments from industry leaders such as Lockheed Martin Ventures, Johnson Controls, Airbus Ventures, and The Fontinalis Group. Humatics transponder provides specific positioning Humatics described its transponder as an electronic “tag” that is attached to a high-value asset. This enables its location to be digitized with a unique identification and streamed many times per second for real-time positioning. This specific positioning data enables localization, navigation, and collaboration of robots, tooling, surgical instruments, and even humans. The new system enables any control system to receive the precise location of items with the transponders, claimed Humatics. The system is capable…
