Lockheed touts the##field -and-forget##technology as providing maximum coverage at minimal costs, claiming that the sensors can remain in the field for years at a time without maintenance,
Earlier this year, a former Lockheed martin subcontractor made headlines for attempting to sell on ebay for $10 million#an early 2000s prototype of the surveillance rock before Lockheed pulled the plug on the project.
Included in the package were hundreds of pages of detailed development instructions, two years of emails with Lockheed and some hardware##but no rock.##
And although Lockheed claims that SPAN s inconspicuous sensors##reduce the likelihood of discovery and tampering,
Cameron s government sponsored Lockheed s claim to the 58,000-square-kilometre potential mining site through the company s subsidiary UK Seabed Resources in London.
Lockheed has proven technologies and the most nodule-bed data. Polymetallic nodules form over thousands of years on the sea floor, through processes that are still not fully understood;
Lockheed has released not specific plans, but the general scheme for harvesting uses a device that moves along the sea floor,

Meanwhile the competition from Spacex and established companies like Lockheed and Boeing is very strong.
Because it can be launched by both bombers and fighters, Lockheed's Joint Air-to-surface Standoff Missile,
and no hard evidence that Lockheed has overcome them. The so-far-insurmountable challenge is to confine hydrogen plasma at conditions under
Tom Mcguire project lead of the Lockheed effort said in an interview that the company has come up with a compact design called a high beta fusion reactor based on principles of so-called magnetic mirror confinement.
Lockheed said the test reactor is only two meters long by one meter wide far smaller than existing research reactors.
He added that with research partners Lockheed could develop a competed prototype within five years and a commercial application within a decade.
Ian Hutchinson a professor of nuclear science and engineering at MIT and one of the principal investigators at the MIT fusion research reactor says the type of confinement described by Lockheed had long been studied without much success. Hutchinson says he was only
able to comment on what Lockheed has released some pictures diagrams and commentary which can be found here.
Lockheed joins a number of other companies working on smaller and cheaper types of fusion reactors. These include Tri-Alpha a company based near Irvine California that is testing a linear-shaped reactor;
