Defense giant Lockheed Martin announced a partnership with Google DeepMind on October 29, 2025, to develop AI systems for national security interests. According to The Verge, the collaboration involves adapting Googles advanced Gemini models to operate in "air-gapped" environments—meaning completely isolated, secure networks with no internet access. The goal is to provide analysts with generative AI tools to rapidly analyze intelligence data and manage information flows within a secure environment. This partnership marks a significant step for Google into the defense sector and highlights the demand for AI solutions that can safely handle classified data.
