Lockheed Martin has appointed Steve Froelich as the vice president of Rotary and Mission Systems operations for Australia and New Zealand, and Programme Executive for AIR6500. He will be responsible for business performance and organizational transformation and will join the local leadership team to build a foundation for future growth in the region.
A critical component of the future strategy will be leadership of Lockheed Martin’s efforts related to the AIR6500 programme, which will provide an even greater level of capability and integration across the Australian Defence Force (ADF). This transformational capability will require a 5th-generation, multi-domain technical solution. It will also require a strong sovereign team with robust, trusted partnerships across multiple military services, large companies, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
