Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 29, 2024 ― Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] will present its vision for 21st century security at the World Defense Show (WDS) 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, highlighting integrated mission-focused defense capabilities and industrial localization efforts that will help strengthen regional security and bolster the Kingdom's defense industries under Vision 2030.
The second edition of WDS, under the theme “Equipped For Tomorrow,” runs from Feb. 4–8, and showcases the future of defense and leading technology developments worldwide. As a gold sponsor of the event, Lockheed Martin will highlight advanced systems that help deter rapidly evolving security threats across all domains, including land, air, sea and space.
Senior Lockheed Martin executives will also actively participate in nearly a dozen thought-leadership forums and panel discussions during WDS.

Gen. Joseph Rank, Lockheed Martin's chief executive for Saudi Arabia and Africa.
