Jon Hill, a retired U.S. Navy vice admiral and former director of the Missile Defense Agency, has been named vice president and general manager of the air dominance and strike weapons portfolio at Lockheed Martin‘s (NYSE: LMT) missiles and fire control division.
“It is an honor to join the team that rapidly designs and builds the innovative weapons our warfighters and allies need to deter and defend against adversaries,” Hill wrote in a LinkedIn post published Tuesday.
In his new capacity, Hill will oversee Lockheed’s portfolio of air dominance systems, hypersonic strike and strike systems and cruise missile programs.
