The F-35 Lightning II Program, led by Lockheed Martin, provides the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, and the U.K.'s Royal Navy and Royal Air Force with an affordable and stealthy tactical aircraft for the 21st century. Needing to enable real-time collaboration among multiple design partners and 500+ suppliers across the globe in virtually every time zone, Lockheed Martin turned to product lifecycle management (PLM) technology from Siemens PLM Software. Real-time online collaboration is now a reality for both engineering in-process and released designs across five major partners and 35 design suppliers. System "rules" ensure that all users are connected to the system with appropriate security safeguards for compliance with USA International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements and proprietary control procedures.
