My primary goal is to create disruptive innovation for Lockheed Martin and our nation. We foster collaboration with universities, government agencies and within Lockheed Martin Corporation to deliver real technology-driven change. It’s these relationships, built by our researchers and scientists, that are crucial to success.

Inside you will find a top-level review of 2012, a preview of our strategic thrust areas, and an outline of our plans for this year. I hope this report gives you more in-depth knowledge about the work and direction of our business.

LEADERS OF CHANGE

Introducing ATLLockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) is chartered with creating generation-after-next technology to help Lockheed Martin maintain technology dominance. As a group of applied research laboratories, ATL looks beyond current requirements to envision future capabilities and needs, exploring technology in cyber, materials, robotics, informatics, spectrum systems and others. Our researchers work closely with customers to create and shape opportunities and are skilled in applying emerging research to evolving programs. Our agile business structure is designed to swiftly respond to urgent needs.

Our primary partners include the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), government service laboratories, and other Lockheed Martin companies. ATL also maintains research relationships with key universities, industry partners and thought leaders. Headquartered in Cherry Hill, N.J., we operate four distributed offices in Arlington, Va., Eagan, Minn., Kennesaw, Ga., and Westlake Village, Calif.

Outside the laboratory, we bring technology to bear with early adopters in the armed services. These field tests and demonstrations validate new approaches and allow our researchers to incorporate user feedback – an invaluable source of input.

Leaders of ChangeWe Are

The nature of progress is change. Each new technology allows us to do tasks better or differently, or delivers new capabilities that change the way we live and work. Since 1929, ATL has been a “Leader of Change” creating or extending technologies in many fields. In the 1930s and 1940s, we led the development of motion picture sound and projection technology – changing how audiences enjoyed movies (and earning an Academy Award citation in the process). In the 1950s, we led color television development, changing viewers’ television experience. In the 1960s, ATL engineers pioneered computer-aided design, enabling the development of integrated circuits and shrinking transistors to microchips. This legacy of being the “Leaders of Change” continues today as we explore new ways of doing everything from flying a single rotor helicopter, to developing conformal batteries using nano-technology, to detecting a warfighter’s traumatic brain injury using a smartphone.

There are two key objectives for ATL’s business. The first is creating new business for Lockheed Martin, which we accomplish through our second objective – externally focused Contract Research and Development (CRAD) business. CRAD leverages external research and development funding and relationships with the Department of Defense Research, Development, Test and Engineering community; military; small businesses; and universities to develop revolutionary capabilities, disruptive technologies and, ultimately, enabling new opportunities for Lockheed Martin to continue to contribute to national security.

Year In Review

The list of 2012 successes is long. From disruptive concepts to successful transitions, from field testing to theater delivery, ATL employees are shaping the future by creating meaningful change. In these challenging times, ATL employees have stepped up with ideas to solve customer challenges.

It’s this type of thinking that will move ATL forward. Here is a review of some of our many successes in 2012.

2012Forecasting the Future Initially a DARPA-sponsored program, Worldwide Integrated Crisis Early Warning (W-ICEWS) has transitioned to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and analyzes public data to predict potential nation-state unrest. Using open news, social media, and structured sources, W-ICEWS monitors key events and trends around the world. ATL’s key innovation is a mixed-methods modeling approach that combines statistical and agent-based models that outperform any individual model. ATL also developed multiple analytic views of the underlying data to provide unique insights to operational users. Lockheed Martin Information Systems and Global Solutions provided sentiment analysis and social media monitoring capabilities.

Enabling Autonomous Flight As part of the Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training (MST) Autonomous Aerial Cargo Utility Systems (AACUS) team, ATL is exploring advanced autonomous capabilities for resupply and casualty evacuation by an unmanned air vehicle under adverse conditions. The team, which will demonstrate its work aboard both K-MAX and Blackhawk helicopters, is creating technology to autonomously avoid obstacles while finding and landing at an unprepared landing site in dynamic conditions.

Preparing an Intelligent BattlespaceWorking with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), ATL is using data fusion technologies to develop and evaluate a prototype tool called MyIPB Toolkit, designed to drastically reduce the time needed for Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace. This process defines the battlespace, describes its potential effects, evaluates threats, and predicts courses of action that the enemy may use.

Collaborating with Humanoid RobotsATL was one of 11 software teams awarded a contract as part of the DARPA Robotics Challenge program. Our approach introduces a revolutionary solution for first responders to collaborate with humanoid robots. One application could be robots that enter a damaged nuclear power station and physically intervene with plant infrastructure to mitigate the disaster.

Rapid Counter of Wireless Communication ThreatsATL was awarded a Phase II contract for DARPA’s Behavioral Learning for Adaptive Electronic Warfare program. The program is developing a technology to rapidly counter adaptive wireless communication threats on the battlefield. Phase II will develop a proof of concept using real radio-frequency data as compared to modeled data.

Understanding, Influencing, and Exploiting NetworksDARPA’s Graph Understanding and Analysis for Rapid Detection (GUARD DOG) program is a system of scalable algorithms and visualizations that provide a capability to understand, influence, and exploit friendly, neutral, and hostile human networks. GUARD DOG ingests data from disparate sources, detects links among and between datasets, and persists a unified network view consisting of tens of millions of nodes. ATL successfully installed GUARD DOG at various customer sites to enable it to be evaluated for additional transition.

Brian KettlerBrian Kettler has spent the last few years developing the Worldwide Integrated Crisis Early Warning System (W-ICEWS). Initially a DARPA-sponsored program, W-ICEWS has moved to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and analyzes public data to predict potential nation-state unrest. Using open news feeds and other sources, W-ICEWS monitors key events and trends around the world. ATL’s key innovation is a mixed methods modeling approach that combines statistical and agent-based models to outperform any individual model. W-ICEWS has transitioned into operational use by the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and other agencies.

David RosenbluthDavid Rosenbluth led an initiative to construct integrated, computational, cognitive neuroscience models of human sensemaking, a basic human cognitive ability. The Integrated Cognitive-Neuroscience Architectures for Understanding Sensemaking (ICArUS) program was sponsored by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (IARPA). ICArUS models will help the intelligence community better predict human-related strengths and failure modes in the intelligence analysis process, and they will point to new strategies for enhancing analytic tools and methods. ATL supported Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Solutions by leading the Spiking Neuron development team and supporting the neurally inspired development team. The Spiking Neuron team built a framework to facilitate the rapid development of spiking neuron models and integrated spiking neuron models developed by several university partners.

Providing Tactical Situational Awareness ATL is working with the U.S. Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization to provide tactical direction-finding, geolocation, and radio-frequency situational awareness.

Exploit and Cross-Cue Multi-intelligence SourcesUnder DARPA’s Insight program, ATL is working to address the inability of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems to automatically exploit and cross-cue multi-intelligence sources. ATL is combining expertise, experience and previous successes in resource allocation, agile quality of service, case-based learning, distributed data, and heterogeneous representations.

Electro-Magnetic Spectrum DominanceOn the modern battlefield, the primary medium for command and control of forces is via wireless communication through the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Both blue and red forces share the medium, so U.S. dominance of the spectrum is imperative. From our recent ground-based engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq, a vital need is emerging: our enemies have learned how to adapt inexpensive, commercially-available wireless devices to communicate, and to coordinate and control attacks, while hiding within the dense forest of civilian wireless infrastructure. To prevail in future conflict, we are partnered with Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training (MST) to deploy new electronic warfare (EW) systems to contest this new battlespace with as little collateral damage as possible.

We have three primary focus areas:

1. Organic EW: This effort brings tactical EW and radio-frequency situational awareness to the squad and platoon level. We are working on organic, service-based effects to gain decisive advantage in close quarters operations.

2. Advanced Algorithms: We are enabling EW capabilities to evolve to meet an increasingly adaptive and innovative threat set operating across a wide range of domains.

3. Electromagnetic Battle Management: Our vision is to provide military commanders and spectrum stakeholders, including Electronic Warfare Officers, a means to manage, control, and synergize EW effects within the battlespace, so that we can simultaneously inhibit enemy communications, while enhancing our own command and control. Architectural concepts are necessary to mine disparate data sources and use heterogeneous sensors to achieve a common view of the EW battlespace across spectrum stakeholders.

Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME)Materials innovations have been at the core of the vast majority of major disruptive technologies since the start of the industrial revolution. Modern transportation, electronics, space exploration, the information age, and medical prosthetics were all enabled by today’s metallic, polymeric, ceramic, semiconductor, and multifunctional materials. Modern computational engineering tools generally have radically reduced the time required to optimize new products. However, analogous computational tools do not exist for materials engineering. A new and promising engineering approach, known as integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), has recently emerged. Its goal is to optimize materials, manufacturing processes, and component design long before components are fabricated by integrating the computational processes involved into a holistic system.

ATL has created a program devoted to ICME. The group’s goal is to move materials science from one that designs products around materials to one that tailors materials to fit a specific use and, by doing so, reduce the costs of failure and redesign in the production of high performance components for defense, aerospace, automotive, and other commercial applications.

Given a set of performance objectives for a system under design, what must the material or device structure be? Our vision for the future is to accurately and efficiently solve this ‘inverse problem.’ This falls under the broad category of “materials by design.” ATL’s current nanotechnology modeling initiatives have already had significant impacts on material and design choices for advanced structural materials and for novel imaging and spectral sensors.

Research VisionATL’s unique mix of Contract Research and Development (CRAD) and Internal Research and Development (IRAD) ensures close alignment with its customers while exploring areas that align with its strategic visions. We transform concepts into actionable research and development, creating technology-enabled capabilities for the warfighter.

A majority of ATL’s work is contracted externally and our sustained, successful performance makes ATL a recognized and sought-after research organization. We provide the entrepreneurial initiative, broad and diverse relationships, and the multi-disciplinary technical expertise needed to transform a customer vision or our own vision to initial proof of technology and operational concepts.

We believe these visions represent significant business opportunities for Lockheed Martin. We also believe that ATL’s ability to create compelling proofs-of-concept has a major impact on the Corporation’s ability to engage future customers with technology-driven capabilties. Additionally, ATL’s ability to amplify IRAD with CRAD greatly reduces the Corporation’s financial risk, and broadens the scope of futuristic ideas that we can explore.

Research Vision cont’d

ForecastingWith the explosion of social media and online news sources, scientists are pioneering research focused on understanding trends in human behavior. Large data sets of open source information, collected from these sources, provide a window into the underlying behavioral patterns of individuals, groups, and nations.

ATL is creating analytical tools that improve the speed, quality, and predictive powers of this analysis. These tools will apply theoretical models, find trends, identify underlying causes, and forecast the future. The ultimate goal is to provide a “peripheral vision” to avoid strategic surprise and the “forward vision” to understand the present and shape the future.

Worldwide Integrated Crisis Early Warning System (W-ICEWS)

Initially a DARPA-sponsored program, W-ICEWS has transitioned to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and mines public data to predict potential nation-state unrest. Under ONR, W-ICEWS is transitioning to the U.S. Strategic Command’s Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network program of record as well as to various combatant commands. Using open news sources, W-ICEWS monitors key events and trends around the world. ATL’s key innovation is a mixed-methods modeling approach that combines statistical and agent-based models that outperform any individual model. ICEWS combines many models to find the best forecast.

National Cyber Range (NCR)

Lockheed Martin ATL developed critical technology for DARPA’s NCR program. NCR is a major government-wide effort to increase the nation’s defenses against electronic attack. ATL technology and expertise provided an automated test-range and high-fidelity, scientific test that enabled the development of leap-ahead advances in cyber security and cyber-warfare capabilities. ATL continues to develop and mature technologies in cyber security partnered with Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training (MST).

Adaptive Robotic SystemsAdaptive robots extend and magnify a human operator’s abilities, creating a team capable of missions and applications that neither human nor machine could perform alone. Our approach uses the human operator’s ability to quickly understand and apply context to situations in order to extend autonomous navigation into more complex scenarios such as operating in or around structures designed for humans, operating in spaces inaccessible to humans, and physical interaction with objects in those spaces.

Using this approach, we exploit the capabilities of both human and robot in a complementary fashion. This enables both the use of new approaches to automate lower level behaviors, e.g., techniques for object grasping that do not rely on pre-programmed object models; as well as enabling robots to share the workload of higher-level task reasoning, e.g., by combining the reasoning strengths of both humans and robots to cooperatively develop and execute complex actions.

This approach helps establish a level of autonomy and adaptation enabling high-dimensional robotic systems that go wherever humans go and even places they cannot. Such systems will be able to operate in highly-complex environments and to interact with the environment using human tools and equipment. It also addresses many existing challenges in implementing autonomy for both conventional and unconventional robotic platforms.

Promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in our CommunityATL is an active participant in the community. We promote science and engineering as rewarding careers through various outreach programs, including National Engineers Week, Lockheed Martin Space Day, the USA Science and Engineering Festival and ATL’s Robotics Workshop.

ATL Robotics Workshop

Starting in 2006, ATL employees have been volunteering five Saturdays in October and November to work with local middle school students at our Annual Robotics Workshop. ATL-developed curriculum and robotics kits are used to teach engineering concepts in an interesting and fun way through lessons, activities, and competitions. The program encourages students to become interested in robotics and engineering because it is exciting to work as a team to grasp difficult concepts and develop working robots. Employees like seeing students learn and become excited about programming.

The USA Science and Engineering Festival

The USA Science and Engineering Festival is the nation’s largest Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education event. This free event is held in Washington, D.C. and hosted by Lockheed Martin to attract tens of thousands of students to view hundreds of different exhibits on all things related to STEM. ATL engineers volunteered at the inaugural event in October 2010 and the second event in April 2012, both times displaying the ATL-created robot raceway. The robot raceway allows students to program a robotic racecar and drive it around a three lane, figure-eight track. For the activity, students go through a series of steps, or lessons, to program their robot. To program the robot, students worked on tablets with a custom app developed by ATL engineers.

To develop revolutionary capabilities, ATL’s business model focuses on two key areas: contract research and strategic internal investments. Both areas advance Lockheed Martin’s portfolio in adjacent or horizon technology spaces.

By combining, transitioning, and adapting existing technologies and game-changing ideas, our technically diverse engineers, scientists, and technicians create novel solutions for our customers’ most vexing challenges. Once an enabling technology concept has been validated through internal investment, our engineers reach out to the appropriate government research and development agencies – DARPA, ONR, AFRL, CERDEC, etc. – in search of development funding. At the same time, we connect with other Lockheed Martin divisions to assess interest in applying the new capability to an existing or new development program. Finally, we assist in the transition of new technologies.

As Leaders of Change we exploit potentially groundbreaking business ventures through research and entrepreneurial spirit – with a team willing to look beyond the known, take risks, and create new capabilities. Because ATL is a relationship-based organization with connections to multi-disciplinary resources, including researchers in academia and small businesses as well as experts across the Corporation, we can rapidly respond to emerging needs with transitional or novel technologies.
