A major American defense contractor. Its main business is the production of strategic weapons such as large military transport planes, anti-submarine patrol planes, reconnaissance planes, and missiles. Its head office is in Bethesda, Maryland. It was founded in California in 1932 as Lockheed Aircraft Corp. In 1977, it changed its name to Lockheed Corp. In 1995, it merged with Martin Marietta Corp., another aviation and defense contractor, and changed its name to its current one. In the 1970s, it entered the civilian transport aircraft market with the L1011 TriStar, but by the end of 1981, it had ceased production of civilian aircraft due to unprofitability.
