Lockheed Martin demonstrates SensorMAX across eight simultaneous sonar feeds
Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy demonstrated SensorMAX during RIMPAC 2026, retraining the system in under five minutes and processing eight simultaneous sonobuoy feeds.

Evidence notes
- SensorMAX used acoustic data from sonobuoys to support anti-submarine warfare operations during RIMPAC 2026.
- Operators retrained the AI model in under five minutes per iteration and pushed encrypted over-the-air updates back to the participating MH-60R helicopters.
- Aircrew managed eight simultaneous sonobuoy surveillance feeds, twice the capacity of the legacy system, across two MH-60R helicopters.
Company context
Lockheed Martin is a defense and aerospace prime with autonomy and unmanned-systems work across Sikorsky, missiles, mission systems, space and integrated defense programs.
