At Lockheed Martin, our mission is to deliver innovative solutions to help our customers keep people safe. Our products have been doing just that in Latin America for more than fifty years.

Our presence on the continent is evolving and growing as we look to strengthen partnerships in the region.

These partnerships include our integration of the combat systems for the Chilean Navy’s Type 23 Frigates and a major Sikorsky facility in Colombia, providing maintenance and training for the continent’s Black Hawk helicopters.

With aircraft, the C-130 Hercules has proudly served 11 Latin American nations for more than 50 years and the current Hercules production model, the C-130J Super Hercules, stands ready to deliver unmatched versatility to regional operators. F-16, operated by Chile amongst others, is the world’s most successful and proven 4th generation jet and we see significant, growing demand for it in many regions, including Latin America.
