Office of Australian Industrial Participation
Lockheed Martin Australia’s Office of Australian Industrial Participation (OAIP) leads the corporation’s strategy to match world-class Australian capability with Lockheed Martin opportunities both in Australia and globally.
Lockheed Martin established the Office of Australian Industrial Participation (OAIP) in February 2012 to lead the Corporation’s industrial development obligations in Australia. The team is committed to fostering long-term partnerships with the Commonwealth and Australian industry to identify world class Australian industry capabilities (SME’s and R&D), and match these with identified business opportunities in Lockheed Martin supply chains.
With team members located across Australia and the US, the OAIP leads the corporation’s Australian industrial development strategy working to identify and capture world's best capability to ensure LM delivers capability edge to our partners globally across Australian and US programs.
The OAIP leads the development of the Corporation’s cross-business area industrial development strategies to ensure alignment with customer requirements across four main programs:
1. Australian Industry Capability (AIC)

3. Australian Industrial Participation (AIP) Plans; and
