Lockheed Martin targets the NHS in UK

2. That's very misleading

In the early 1970s, I worked for Martin Marietta, now combined with Lockheed into Lockheed Martin. MM was a giant corporation with many separate subsidiaries and corporate divisions. Defense was only one of those. Aerospace, where I worked, did a lot of work for NASA. I worked on the Viking Mars Lander when I was there. Another subsidiary produced materials for the construction industry. Yet another was a software company whose clients were other corporations and government agencies.

It's not a defense contractor making the bid. It's a software company that's under the same giant corporate umbrella as a defense contractor.
