MANILA, Philippines, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin has outlined robust industrial collaboration projects for the Philippines, aimed at strengthening its Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept while investing in Filipino talent, technical training, and local industry partnerships. As part of the F-16 Block 70 package, Lockheed Martin will support the country's Self-Reliant Defense Posture (SRDP) by training Filipino technicians, enabling in-country maintenance, and building long-term pathways for aerospace careers through partnerships with universities and industry. "Lockheed Martin's partnership with the Philippines extends beyond providing military capability," said Aimee Burnett, vice president of business development for the Integrated Fighter Group at Lockheed Martin. "As we collaborate with the local industry, we aim to deliver social and economic value by cultivating talent, creating jobs and driving innovation that advances the domestic defense sector and supports holistic progress." "In short, Lockheed Martin is committed to building a long-term partnership that benefits the Philippines and its people," Burnett added. Lockheed Martin has proposed stand-up of several in-country Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul capabilities in the Philippines to support the F-16 and C-130. As part of this effort, Lockheed Martin would provide core technologies and equipment to local industrial partners to enable them to directly repair Philippine Air Force aircraft, leading to greater self-reliance in aerospace sustainment as well as job creation and skills-building opportunities for the Philippines workforce. Lockheed Martin has also proposed the establishment of an Innovation Center in the Philippines, which will serve as the focal point for research and development collaboration, technology transfer and investment. Building upon successful models deployed over the last decade in the United Arab Emirates, Australia and elsewhere, Lockheed Martin would partner with local universities, industries and government partners to provide training programs, allocate funding for research, and create Philippine-owned capabilities in emerging technology sectors. The Lockheed Martin Innovation Center will enable a pipeline of new technologies, skilled workers and empowered entrepreneurs who can drive future innovation and growth in the Philippines. "With the F-16 Block 70, Lockheed Martin is confident it can help the Philippines build a sustainable airpower ecosystem, driven by Filipino talent and supported by local industry, while delivering the advanced capabilities needed to address its most pressing defense requirements," Burnett said.

HYDERABAD: The six-lane bi-directional Shilpa Layout Flyover (Phase-2), connecting Gachibowli to Kondapur, is complete and ready for inauguration. Once opened to the public, the flyover will ease traffic flow at Gachibowli Junction by facilitating conflict-free movement between the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and Kondapur, and also improves connectivity between Hitech City and the Financial District. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is expected to inaugurate the flyover in the first week of June.

ORR-Kondapur flyover to be thrown open soon; traffic snarls set to ease
The government is dedicated to enhancing the city's infrastructure while keeping an eye on future requirements in every aspect. The newly-built multi-level flyover, which links the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to Kondapur and was constructed at a cost of Rs 178 crore, is scheduled to be inaugurated in the first week of June. Once operational, the flyover is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion at the busy Gachibowli Junction and improve connectivity through Hyderabad's IT corridor. Built under the Strategic Road Development Programme (SRDP), the six-lane flyover spans 1.2 km and is 24 meters wide. It is the third-level flyover at the location, built above the existing Gachibowli Junction and Shilpa Layout Phase 1 flyovers. According to GHMC, its unique feature lies in being a third-level structure constructed atop two pre-existing flyovers. Below, the Gachibowli Junction Flyover, with the Shilpa Layout Phase 1 Flyover situated above it, and now the newly constructed Phase 2 Flyover has been added on top. The flyover will reduce the severe traffic snarls at the Gachibowli Junction to a large extent. The structure is designed to streamline traffic from ORR towards Kondapur and Hafeezpet, reducing travel time and bypassing frequent bottlenecks at Gachibowli. It will facilitate smoother travel between Kondapur and the Shamshabad Airport, offering a more direct and less congested route to the financial district and HITEC City. The GHMC officials accelerated the construction of the flyover. Despite previous delays caused by various factors, the project is nearing completion. Efforts are underway to finish the work by this month end, with plans for a launch by CM Revanth Reddy. Its inauguration represents a significant advancement in the enhancement of Hyderabad's infrastructure, said a senior official. Commissioner RV Karnan had made multiple visits to oversee the progress of the flyover and directed the project engineers to expedite the work. This marks the 23rd flyover completed under the SRDP, which aims to ensure signal-free travel and reduce congestion across Hyderabad. Of the 42 projects planned under SRDP, 37 have been completed with the addition of this flyover. The GHMC commissioner has set a target to complete the Falaknuma and Shastripuram Railway Over Bridges (ROBs) by July and August respectively. As part of the H-City project, the government has allocated Rs 7,032 crore for 58 urban infrastructure projects.
