“Experience the Future of Flight: Lockheed Martin Unveils Innovative Air Power Solutions at Bahrain International Airshow 2024”
Lockheed Martin will partake in the Bahrain International Airshow 2024 (Nov. 13-15), highlighting its most recent defense advancements and reiterating its dedication to bolstering regional security collaborations. As a longstanding advocate of the event, Lockheed Martin is honored to return as a Bronze Sponsor for the airshow and as a Platinum Sponsor for the Manama Air Power Symposium (MAPS), the official conference scheduled for Nov. 12.
The MAPS, conducted under the auspices of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, and supported by the Royal Bahrain Air Force and the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunication, is set to gather 300 air force leaders and operators, policymakers, and industry pioneers from more than 36 nations to examine the future of air power and defense strategies. Lockheed Martin will engage with essential stakeholders from Bahrain and throughout the larger region to deliberate on advanced technologies capable of addressing swiftly changing security challenges in today’s intricate landscape.
Gen. Gary L. North, USAF (Ret.), Lockheed Martin’s Vice President of Customer Requirements, will facilitate a discussion panel at MAPS on Nov. 12 titled “Maintaining the Technological Edge in Air Power and Air Defense Capabilities.” On Nov. 14, Gen. North will present a keynote speech at the airshow, “The Future of Combat Air and the Roles of Advanced Technology,” addressing how Lockheed Martin’s state-of-the-art innovations continue to influence the future of air power and aid partners’ defense goals.
With over 50 years of legacy in Bahrain, Lockheed Martin has consistently supported the Kingdom’s aerospace and defense capabilities, from supplying the L-1011 TriStar commercial airliner to providing the first F-16 Fighting Falcon in the Gulf region—and most recently, the F-16 Block 70, the most sophisticated variant of the aircraft.
Lockheed Martin platforms will be exhibited at the event, featuring the F-16 Fighting Falcon, C-130J Super Hercules airlifter, and the Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopter, showcasing the company’s unwavering commitment to the security and prosperity of Bahrain and its allies.
As part of its 21st Century Security® vision, Lockheed Martin delivers mission-critical capabilities using cutting-edge technologies like AI, edge computing, and 5G.MIL® connectivity, providing rapid, agile solutions for the U.S. and allied nations across all domains.
