La FTC (Federal Trade Commission) ha intentato causa a Lockheed Martin ... 🧑⚖️
Today, the Federal Trade Commission sued to block Lockheed Martin Corporation’s $4.4 billion proposed vertical acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc, the last independent U.S. supplier of missile propulsion systems.
Aerojet supplies advanced power, propulsion, and armament systems, which are critical components for the missiles made by Lockheed and other defense prime contractors.
The agency’s complaint alleges that if the deal is allowed to proceed, Lockheed will use its control of Aerojet to harm rival defense contractors and further consolidate multiple markets critical to national security and defense.
This is the agency's first litigated defense merger challenge in decades.

Per forza e' constretta a prendersi Aerojet per colpa di Blue Origin che e' moto in ritardo nella consegna dei nuovi motori BE-4 per il nuovo vettore Vulcan. Dovevano essere pronti per fine 2020 e ora siamo al 2022

Nel frattempo ... Lockheed Martin Space ha creato "Ignite" ... una nuova unità spaziale sullo stile dei famosi "Skunk Works" ...
Colorado Springs ...
Lockheed Martin Space’s newly established "Ignite" unit (*), a Skunk Works-like business development team designed to rapidly mature and progress new technologies for U.S. national defense, security and exploration customers, is ramping up activity with five internally funded pathfinder programs either already on-orbit or destined for launch within the next two years.
The announcement was made at this week’s Space Symposium here.
Citing the rapid pace of change in technology development and the destabilizing impact of recent global events such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Dan Tenney, vice president of strategy and business development at Lockheed Martin Space, says such events “require us to move with a sense of urgency. So, we have developed a new team called Ignite.”
The unit is targeted at three main missions - exploratory research and development, accelerating the pace of technology development and, lastly, introducing new product innovations.
