  • No public evidence identified of named systems integrator engagements by Lockheed Martin that have mandated or deployed Israeli-origin technology as part of a documented enterprise transformation programme.

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

Facial Recognition & Biometrics

  • Lockheed Martin is a defense and aerospace prime contractor, not a retail or facilities operator. No public evidence identified of any deployment by Lockheed Martin of facial recognition, biometric identification, gait analysis, or store-analytics platforms from vendors including Trigo, BriefCam, AnyVision/Oosto, or Trax.

Predictive Analytics & Workforce Monitoring

  • No public evidence identified of Lockheed Martin deploying Israeli-origin predictive policing, sentiment analysis, or workforce surveillance tools in any operational context.

Third-Party Deployment

  • No public evidence identified of Lockheed Martin procuring or deploying Israeli-origin surveillance technology through a third-party intermediary or managed service provider.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

Data Centre Operations in Israel

  • Lockheed Martin operates Lockheed Martin Israel Ltd, a registered subsidiary in Israel with offices at 4 Berkovitch St, Tel Aviv124.
  • The subsidiary maintains a demonstration center in Museum Tower, Tel Aviv featuring F-35 and CH-53K simulators14.
  • The subsidiary’s stated function is business development, programme management for Israeli defense contracts, and innovation engagement with Israeli startups11213.
  • No public evidence identified of Lockheed Martin operating, leasing, or co-locating data centre infrastructure within Israel for cloud service delivery purposes.

Government Cloud Contracts

  • Project Nimbus is the Israeli government’s sovereign cloud programme awarded in 2021 to Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services. Lockheed Martin is not a cloud infrastructure provider and was not a bidder or awardee of Project Nimbus. No public evidence identified of any Lockheed Martin participation in Project Nimbus or any comparable Israeli state-backed cloud infrastructure programme.

Data Sovereignty & Resilience Services

  • The ODIN (Operational Data Integrated Network) system, which replaces the legacy ALIS system for F-35 fleet management, transmits F-35 aircraft data through SOU → CPE → ALOU processing nodes located in Fort Worth, Texas3.
  • No Israeli data residency confirmed for ODIN; data flows are directed to U.S.-based processing infrastructure3.
  • No public evidence identified of Lockheed Martin marketing or contracting data sovereignty, data residency, or infrastructure resilience services to Israeli state institutions or military bodies in a cloud-services capacity.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

Military & Intelligence Contracts

  • Lockheed Martin maintains a verified relationship with the Israeli Air Force (IAF) through the F-35 programme. Israel operates 48 F-35I “Adir” aircraft as of early 2026, with 27 additional aircraft on order515.
  • Israel was the first country to use the F-35 in combat, with operational deployment beginning in 201815.
  • Lockheed Martin and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) jointly produce F-35 wings; IAI delivered the 350th F-35 wing to Lockheed Martin in February 20261127.
  • The Pentagon reached a $450 million deal in 2012 to enhance electronic warfare capabilities on the F-35 and integrate Israeli-unique systems beginning in 20166.
  • Israel Ministry of Defense signed a contract with Sikorsky (Lockheed Martin subsidiary) for integration of Israeli systems on 12 CH-53K “Pere” helicopters, valued at hundreds of millions of dollars7.
  • The Umbrella Industrial Cooperation Agreement (UICA) between Lockheed Martin and Israel’s Industrial Cooperation Authority was extended through 2029, with $4 billion invested since 2005 and $470 million under the current agreement8.
  • Lockheed Martin and Rafael partnered to develop the SPICE 250 weapon system for the U.S. Military, announced in October 20192.

Dual-Use Technology Provision

  • ODIN provides logistics and fleet management software to the IAF as part of the F-35 programme. The system handles maintenance scheduling, mission data, parts logistics, and prognostics3.
  • While ODIN incorporates machine learning algorithms for predictive maintenance, its application is logistics and operational readiness management, not targeting3.
  • No verified instances of Lockheed Martin’s commercially available technology publicly reported as deployed for intelligence or law enforcement surveillance in Israel or occupied territories were identified.

Offensive Cyber & Weapons Technology

  • No public evidence identified of Lockheed Martin developing, selling, licensing, or maintaining offensive cyber capabilities, zero-day exploit tools, or digital weapons systems in a commercial or dual-use context.

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

AI/ML Provision to State Bodies

  • The ODIN platform incorporates prognostic and health management (PHM) algorithms using machine learning methods for predictive maintenance. Because the IAF is an ODIN participant, this constitutes indirect AI/ML provision within the logistics domain for the Israeli Air Force3.
  • No verified public evidence identified of Lockheed Martin providing standalone AI/ML platforms, computer vision systems, or autonomous decision-support tools to Israeli state, military, or security bodies outside of what is embedded within the F-35/ODIN ecosystem.

Training Data & Model Development

  • No public evidence identified of Lockheed Martin AI models being trained on civilian population data, intercepted communications, or surveillance-derived datasets originating from Israel or occupied territories.

Autonomous Systems & Lethality

  • The XTEND integration involves the XOS operating system for multi-drone control. This is a command-and-control platform for drone swarming, distinct from autonomous targeting or lethal autonomous weapons systems23.
  • Elbit-Lockheed Martin developed an experimental propulsion system running on renewable energy for small UAVs in May 2011, demonstrating historical cooperation in autonomous systems16.

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Israeli R&D Centres

  • Lockheed Martin established a presence in Israel’s technology ecosystem as of 2019, operating an innovation center in Tel Aviv1213.
  • The facility focuses on identifying Israeli defense-technology startups and dual-use technologies. A 2022 Globes update confirmed the office remained operational13.
  • The registered subsidiary Lockheed Martin Israel Ltd provides the corporate vehicle for this presence24.

Acquisitions & Investments

  • Lockheed Martin made a strategic investment in Cybereason (Israeli cybersecurity firm) in May 2015 — $25 million Series B funding910.
  • No verified acquisitions of Israeli-origin technology companies by Lockheed Martin were identified within the 2020–2024 period. Terran Orbital (acquired 2024) is a U.S.-based company21.
  • Lockheed Martin Israel invested in Odysight.ai, an Israeli predictive maintenance startup, which received purchase orders for predictive maintenance systems for the Israeli Air Force AH-64 Apache and SH-60 Seahawk helicopters25.

Patent & Intellectual Property

  • No public evidence identified of significant patent co-development arrangements or licensing agreements between Lockheed Martin and Israeli-domiciled academic institutions including Technion, Hebrew University, or Weizmann Institute.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

NGO & Academic Reports

  • Who Profits lists Lockheed Martin as supplying weapons to the Israeli military17.
  • AFSC Investigate database lists Lockheed Martin on the BDS divestment shortlist as “the world’s largest military company” profiting from Gaza18.
  • Lockheed Martin is not listed in the UN OHCHR Database of Business Enterprises involved in settlement activities. The database focuses on settlement-supporting businesses (construction, telecommunications, banking, retail, transportation infrastructure); defense primes supplying weapons under FMS do not fall within these criteria19.
  • BIRD Foundation approved projects database shows no Lockheed Martin project in 2021; searches for 2021 autonomous/AI projects returned only Israeli companies paired with other U.S. firms, with no Lockheed involvement20.

Boycott & Divestment Campaigns

  • The BDS Movement lists Lockheed Martin as a primary boycott target on the basis of its arms sales and defense cooperation with Israel1718.
  • The Palestinian BDS National Committee calls for divestment from Lockheed Martin on grounds of weapons supply and defense industry cooperation1718.
  • No regulatory inquiries, legal challenges, export control actions, or sanctions-related investigations specifically involving Lockheed Martin’s technology (as distinct from weapons) sales or services to Israeli state entities were identified.

Constructive Notice — Post-ICJ and Post-ICC

  • All identified Lockheed Martin digital and technology relationships with Israeli state entities — including the ODIN/F-35 platform, defense cooperation programmes, and innovation center operations — continued post-July 2024 and post-November 2024 without publicly documented interruption45.
  • CEO James D. Taiclet publicly stated in February 2026 that operational feedback from Israel’s use of F-35 jets is “worth many billions” to the company4.
  • No suspension, modification, or withdrawal of ODIN access for the IAF has been publicly reported.
