On November 1, 2025, Australia announced the cancellation of a multi-billion dollar military satellite project with Lockheed Martin. The Australian Department of Defence stated that the military will instead shift its focus to a multi-orbit system.
This cancellation represents a significant loss of future revenue for Lockheed Martin in its space segment. The project was a substantial international contract, and its termination could impact the company's financial outlook.
The decision by Australia to pursue a different satellite architecture indicates evolving defense priorities and technological preferences. This development may prompt Lockheed Martin to reassess its strategies for international space defense contracts.
