Lockheed Martin picked a veteran missile defense engineer to lead the company’s space research organization known as the Advanced Technology Center, in Palo Alto, California.
Nelson Pedreiro, formerly the chief engineer for strategic and missile defense systems and director of science and technology at Lockheed Martin Space Systems, is replacing Scott Fouse, who recently retired.
The ATC invests in technology that supports the company’s military, commercial and civil space portfolio. It is one of Lockheed’s major corporate labs, although not as well known as the more famous Skunk Works, which serves the aeronautics branch.
