In a sign that the Air Force is readying to ramp up work on a next-generation cyberwarfare platform on behalf of U.S. Cyber Command, Lockheed Martin will be stationing some members of it staff associated with the project right next door to the Air Force facility in San Antonio, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a ceremony June 22, Lockheed announced it will be the first tenant at Project Tech, which the company described in a news release as a facility within a campus specifically tailored to support the growth of the region\u2019s cybersecurity and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Tech is the outgrowth of Port Antonio, a public organization created by the state legislature in 1998 on the old Kelly Air Force Base, right next to Air Forces Cyber, to act as a strategic partner and interface between the Air Force and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe thought where better to put a facility that can host this type of work than within a couple hundred yards of the front gate of\u201d 24th Air Force, Jim Perschbach, the Port\u2019s interim president and CEO, told Fifth Domain in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re hoping to do is to create an entire campus of people who want to do the mission support in the contractor community, the academic support, people who are really more focused in on the commercial side but maybe looking to put those technologies into government service or maybe the government is looking for the commercial sector as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lockheed\u2019s operations will reside in a 15,000-square-foot workspace onsite with a local team comprising of systems engineers, software developers and cyber architects. Their work will primarily focus on development and testing of full-spectrum cyber tools and platforms, the company said, to include Henosis, Lockheed\u2019s prototype for the Unified Platform competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
