Lockheed Martin Revolutionizes AI Integration with STAR.OS™
November 8, 2025 | Lockheed MartinEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Lockheed Martin has made a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI) technology with the introduction of the STAR.OS™ solution, a powerful new tool that enables different AI systems to work together smoothly and effectively. This innovative solution has the potential to be used in future collaborations with private sector companies and solves a long-standing challenge in the field of AI by providing a common framework that makes it easier to combine different AI systems and services to achieve a common goal.
The STAR.OS™ solution seamlessly integrates Systems, Tactical applications, Autonomy/AI, and Rapid deployment, providing a unified framework for AI deployments that support national security. The platform consists of three main components: a toolkit for developers (STAR.SDK™), a system that connects different AI systems (STAR.IO™), and a user-friendly interface that provides a clear view of how AI is being used in real-time (STAR.UI™).
“With the STAR.OS™ solution, we're taking a major step forward in our ability to bring together different AI systems and make them work together seamlessly,” said Mike Baylor, Lockheed Martin vice president and chief digital AI officer. “This will help us provide more effective and efficient solutions to our customers and ultimately help them make more informed decisions and stay ahead of emerging threats.”
STAR.OS is a key part of Lockheed Martin's efforts to integrate AI systems across different domains, making it easier to deploy AI capabilities and enhance mission effectiveness for the Department of War, U.S. government and beyond.
Key Components of STAR.OS™
The STAR.OS™ platform is made up of three product lines, each designed to address specific challenges in AI integration:
Service Development Kit (STAR.SDK™): A toolkit that helps developers create and deploy AI services quickly and efficiently, so they can focus on what they want to achieve rather than how to achieve it.
Interoperability (STAR.IO™): A system that connects different AI systems and allows them to work together, ensuring they can communicate and share information seamlessly.
User Interface (STAR.UI™): A user-friendly interface that lets engineers and operators see how AI is being used in real-time, and get insights into how it's performing, with the help of built-in AI assistants.
Making a Difference
Early instances of the STAR.OS™ solution are being used to support the Department of War and other government customers, with successful integrations in areas such as detecting threats at sea and missile warning. At a recent internal hackathon as part of AI Fight Club™, the STAR.OS™ solution showcased its ability to integrate multiple AI services into a digital environment, demonstrating its potential to enhance mission effectiveness for the warfighter.

Learning With Leo: UHDI—The Next Leap in PCB Manufacturing
11/05/2025 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoHigh density interconnect (HDI) technology has been a cornerstone of miniaturized electronics since Hewlett-Packard introduced the first chip-scale implementation in 1982. Over time, HDI processes became central to organic flip-chip packaging in the semiconductor industry. Today, the convergence of IC substrates and system-level PCBs has accelerated the adoption of UHDI.
UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Technology and Automated Inspection
11/03/2025 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsFollowing up on the last article on integrating ultra high density interconnect (UHDI) PCB technologies and Quality 5.0, here we will do a deeper dive into the automated inspection component. UHDI applications demand extreme precision, with line/space dimensions below 25 µm and microvias below 30 µm. Automated inspection systems are essential to achieving the defect-free fabrication required at these scales, and legacy automated inspection systems are becoming obsolete and ineffective.
