DENVER BUSINESS JOURNAL - Lockheed Martin Space Systems Co. has opened a national radio frequency communications research and development lab focused on satellites, bringing dozens of experts in the field to its Jefferson County headquarters.
LMSS' RF Payload Center of Excellence opened in May but is still expanding.
The idea is to concentrate in one place the expertise and new equipment used in creating and testing communications technologies for satellites and satellite components, speeding up production and innovation.
"Our new facility and network of experts position us to support these missions at high rates of production," said Rick Ambrose, LMSS' executive vice president. "We will also be applying new technology to develop reconfigurable payloads in orbit, creating more capable and affordable RF systems than ever before."
LMSS, based at Waterton Canyon, is a division of aerospace and defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT), based in Bethesda, Maryland.
