Lockheed Martin Maritime Systems & Sensors (LM MS2) Division: To meet its product development and delivery objectives, LM MS2 implemented a systems and software product line for its Navy ship systems, using BigLever's Gears SPL solution. An overview of this innovative SPL approach was featured in an article, co-authored by Lockheed Martin and BigLever, which appeared in Embedded Systems Design (embedded.com). The US Navy's first Littoral Combat Ship, LCS-1, built by Lockheed as a new variant in its ship system product line, was recently spotlighted in an article on Defense Daily.
