Overview

Space is a critical domain, connecting our technologies, our security and our humanity. While others view space as a destination, we see it as a realm of possibilities, where we can do more—innovate, invest, inspire and integrate our capabilities to transform the future.

At Lockheed Martin Space, we aim to harness the full potential of space to cultivate innovation, reduce costs, and push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We’re creating future‑ready solutions, focusing on resiliency and urgency through our 21st Century Security® vision. We’re erasing boundaries and forming partnerships across industries and around the world. We’re advancing spacecraft and the workforce to fuel the next generation.

And we’re reimagining how space can connect us, ensuring security and prosperity.

The GEOINT Collection neXt (GCX) Program is a 7‑year contract awarded to Lockheed Martin, tasked with providing sustainment and evolution of the GEOINT Information Management Services (GIMS) system. GIMS is a mission‑critical enterprise application that serves as the central entry point for the submission and adjudication of all GEOINT Information Needs (GINS) and associated requirements. The system enables users to search, discover, and retrieve imagery and other types of GEOINT data, while centrally managing collection, exploitation, dissemination, and production requirements across a vast network of commercial and national suppliers.
