I would not say it is abnormal, but I think the key industry expertise needed by Lockheed Martin must be defined right away, as well as the various aspects of innovation that encourage workforce skills development. We must also look at the main research areas, such as onboard artificial intelligence and highly sophisticated navigation systems for detecting or avoiding collisions or countermeasures. It takes a lot of time to train people and to understand the science behind this field. I think this should be an urgent priority.
