- Lockheed Martin undergoes agile
transformation with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs and deploys Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform to speed delivery of new
software-defined capabilities for F-22 Raptor
- F-22 Raptor scrum team improves ability
to forecast for future sprints by 40% and puts Lockheed Martin on
track to deliver new communications capabilities three years ahead
of schedule
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT)
worked with Red Hat to modernize the application development
process used to bring new capabilities to the U.S. Air Force’s
fleet of F-22 Raptor fighter jets.
Through an eight-week Red Hat Open Innovation Labs residency,
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics replaced the waterfall development
process it used for F-22 Raptor upgrades with an agile methodology
and DevSecOps practices that are more adaptive to the needs of the
U.S. Air Force. Together, Lockheed Martin and Red Hat created an
open architecture based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
that has enabled the F-22 team to accelerate application
development and delivery.
The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is one of the world’s premier
fighter jets, thanks to its unique combination of stealth, speed,
agility, and situational awareness. Lockheed Martin is working with
the U.S. Air Force on innovative, agile new ways to deliver the
Raptor’s critical capabilities to warfighters faster and more
affordably.
The F-22 is the world’s most dominant fighter, but potential
adversaries continue to develop capabilities intended to challenge
the ability of U.S. and allied air forces to gain and maintain air
superiority. Maintaining that asymmetric advantage requires a
constant focus on rapid innovation.
The traditional waterfall development process was not getting
critical capabilities to the warfighter fast enough. It previously
took five to seven years to identify requirements and release new
capabilities for the existing architecture, initially built in the
early 1990s. That time-consuming process, along with code quality
and integration issues, led to onerous rework and customization,
resulting in a platform that no longer met Lockheed Martin’s
expectations for software-led innovation.
For Lockheed Martin, keeping the F-22 Raptor out front was not
simply about upgrading its hardware and deploying a modern software
platform. Instead, it also sought to create a team culture rooted
in innovation and collaboration to transform its approach to
application development. To do this, Lockheed wanted to adopt
principles and frameworks common in software lexicon like agile,
scrum, minimum viable product (MVP) and DevSecOps.
Lockheed Martin chose Red Hat Open Innovation Labs to lead them
through the agile transformation process and help them implement an
open source architecture onboard the F-22 and simultaneously
disentangle its web of embedded systems to create something more
agile and adaptive to the needs of the U.S. Air Force. Red Hat Open
Innovation Labs’ dual-track approach to digital transformation
combined enterprise IT infrastructure modernization and, through
hands-on instruction, helped Lockheed’s team adopt agile
development methodologies and DevSecOps practices.
Following a discovery session and architectural review, Red Hat
stood up an environment based on Red Hat OpenShift Container
Platform, the company’s trusted enterprise Kubernetes platform.
OpenShift is optimized for developer productivity and frictionless
innovation while helping customers address the IT challenges of
security, operations management, and the integration of
applications and container management. OpenShift is powered by the
trusted foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, one of the
industry’s most certified operating systems and the first with
support for Linux container technology to receive the Common
Criteria certification, making the platform well-suited to meet the
high standards for security set by Lockheed Martin and its
customers.
During the Open Innovation Labs engagement, a cross-functional
team of five developers, two operators, and a product owner worked
together to develop a new application for the F-22 on OpenShift.
After seeing an early impact with the initial project team, within
six months, Lockheed Martin had scaled its OpenShift deployment and
use of agile methodologies and DevSecOps practices to a 100-person
F-22 development team.
Lockheed Martin’s agile transformation has paid off. During a
recent enablement session, the F-22 Raptor scrum team improved its
ability to forecast for future sprints by 40%. This summer, only
one year after kicking off the project, Lockheed Martin is slated
to deliver new communications capabilities on the aircraft three
years ahead of schedule. Lockheed Martin is continuing to scale
this approach to the entire F-22 development organization.
Red Hat Open Innovation Labs worked with Lockheed Martin to not
only transform its culture, process and technologies but to also
rethink how the team physically works. By knocking down walls and
creating open spaces to work in its new dojo, the Lockheed Martin
F-22 Raptor development team now has a dedicated space for
continued learning, thinking and problem-solving, providing the
opportunity to scale out the collaborative DevSecOps culture that
is delivering new software-defined innovation to the U.S. Air
Force.

Supporting QuotesPaul Smith, senior vice president and
general manager, Public Sector, Red Hat“Lockheed Martin developed
one of the fastest fighter jets in the world and needed a
development process to match that speed. Through its work with Red
Hat Open Innovation Labs, Lockheed Martin has been able to
integrate DevOps practices like domain-driven design and lean
thinking into their environments. Now, reduced planning times are
allowing for faster release cycles that can deliver significant
benefits to the U.S. Air Force.”
Michael Cawood, vice president, F-16/F-22 Product Development,
Lockheed Martin“When you have a world-renowned platform like the
F-22 Raptor, adversaries are constantly looking for ways to counter
it. This means we must constantly add capabilities and improve the
F-22. And we must do it faster than ever before. We needed to
transform our own organization and how we did things. By working
with the Red Hat Open Innovation Labs team, we changed everything ‒
our toolchain, our process, and most importantly, our culture. With
our new culture firmly rooted in DevSecOps and agile, and a more
flexible platform based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform,
the F-22 team will continue its work to ensure the Raptor meets
America’s defense needs.”
