Lockheed Martin: Airborne ISR Market Poised for $43B Value by 2030
LMT
  • The global airborne ISR market is projected to grow from $31.59 billion in 2025 to $33.83 billion in 2026 (CAGR 7.1%), and further to $43.04 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 6.2%.
  • Expansion is driven by rising demand for real-time military intelligence, advanced sensor and radar technologies, increased UAV deployments, AI-enabled analytics, and military modernization programs.
  • Geopolitical tensions and a 4% rise in terrorism-related deaths outside Afghanistan in 2023 are spurring investment in long-range surveillance and multi-sensor fusion ISR platforms.
  • North America holds the largest market share while Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region; leading players include Raytheon Technologies, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, and Northrop Grumman.
  • Trade relations and tariffs are driving up import costs for key components but are also fostering domestic production and supply-chain resilience across fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms.

Lockheed Martin F-35 availability falls short of Pentagon requirement
LMT
  • Pentagon IG finds U.S. F-35 readiness at ~50% in FY2024, 17 percentage points below the DoD’s minimum requirement.
  • Shortfall attributed to poor maintenance and sustainment by Lockheed Martin and a June 2024 contract lacking measurable inspection and readiness metrics.
  • DoD paid $1.7 billion to Lockheed Martin by July 1, 2025, without economic adjustments or penalties despite unmet service requirements.
  • Lockheed’s Aeronautics segment, including the F-35, accounts for over two-thirds of the company’s revenue.
  • Analysts note a 5.73% net margin, 8.18% operating margin, and 3.59 debt-to-equity ratio, highlighting areas for financial improvement.

  • The company expects to recognize a non-cash, non-operating pretax settlement charge of ~$480 million in Q4 2025, reflecting accelerated actuarial losses previously included in equity; this was not in its prior 2025 outlook.
  • Insurance companies will now legally assume and administer the pension benefits with no change to the nature, amount, or timing of payments.
