4. The intent of the RoKST&R initiatives

Lockheed Martin, as a leading global security company, develops partnerships with the world-best universities and industries, and these relationships often brought unique and rewarding combinations of invention, innovation, engineering and systems integration to bear on problems of national importance. Now, our corporation is seeking to establish formal partnerships with Korean universities, industries, and government research institutions under the RoKST&R initiatives to develop Research and Development (R&D) collaboration. Partnered research institutions via selection process will work with Lockheed Martin corporate engineers and industry leaders, receiving funding and mentorship opportunities of new technology research projects in areas of aeronautics, space, flight sciences, model, simulation, and training (MST), emerging technologies including renewable/eco-friendly energy generation and nanotechnologies, and other advanced technologies.
