Lockheed Martin dedicated a new 20,000-square foot, $3 million facility in Rockville, Md., to house a “secure, state-of-the-art software development environment,” according to a company release. The Milsatcom Center of Excellence includes a software development, integration, and test laboratory, and office space for engineers and software developers. Lockheed plans to consolidate its Milsatcom activities currently conducted at Gaithersburg, Md., and at the former Comsat facility in Clarksburg, Md., at the new center. It also plans to hire “up to 200” additional people.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
