Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has successfully delivered the first Integrated Combat System (ICS)-enabled baseline to the U.S. Navy. ICS-enabled baselines combine heritage combat system capability with modern infrastructure, driving rapid proliferation of capability through a singular development effort at scale. Working with the Navy and industry partners, this marks the start of a six‑month operating cadence for updates and certifications that will be fielded across the fleet, a significant step toward the Navy’s vision of fleetwide commonality.

The six-month cadence keeps the ICS adaptable and continuously refreshed with innovative capabilities, ensuring the surface fleet stays at the forefront of naval warfare.

“The first ICS‑enabled baseline delivery highlights Lockheed Martin’s commitment to and partnership with the U.S. Navy to accelerate the transition to a common, fully integrated combat architecture in a continuously evolving warfighting environment,” said Chandra Marshall, vice president of Multi‑Domain Combat Systems at Lockheed Martin. “Each baseline upgrade delivered and integrated into the ICS further reinforces and expands the already proven Aegis integrated air and missile defence capability.”

Highlights and Impact

The Aegis BL9.C3.0 Package: This is the first baseline compiled from the Forge development environment. It introduces the re-architected display component, Tactical PaaS (Platform as a Service), which establishes the foundation for containerised software and a suite of new operational capabilities.

Accelerated Capability Fielding: Each follow-on delivery will incrementally integrate new capabilities, sensors, effectors, and software. Driving towards a single ICS-enabled baseline cuts cost and ensures that every surface combatant can field the latest combat capabilities on a predictable schedule.

Delivering baseline BL9.C3.0 highlights Lockheed Martin’s partnership with the U.S. Navy, our commitment to deliver force-level capability, and accelerate the transition to a common, fully integrated combat architecture.
