Shelley Peterson, a Lockheed Martin Emerging Tech Lead, has become a valuable Silicon Valley source, diving into the rapidly evolving augmented reality and wearables market to integrate emerging technologies with Lockheed Martin applications. Shelley has a diverse technology and defense-based background. Her engineering skill has been utilized by electronic warfare programs for E-Systems Company, on the B-1 Bomber Simulator at Dyess AFB, and on satellite ground integration and mission operations analytics at Lockheed Martin. Early in her professional career, Shelley founded a business focused on emerging technology solutions, including military aircraft distributed mission training and multi-spectral imaging monoculars. In her spare time, Shelley teaches college mathematics as an adjunct, she enjoys volunteering for STEM events, and operates Shotlink Lasers for the PGA AT&T ProAm.
Shelley Peterson, Emerging Technologies Lead and Principal Investigator for Augmented Reality at Lockheed Martin, joined Lockheed Martin in 2003 as a systems engineer. In 2011, while working at Lockheed Martin’s Sunnyvale site, Shelley joined the business development team. In 2012, she shifted her focus to AR/MR, and soon after torque drilling implementations and augmented reality shop aids yielded astonishing reductions in labor, in some cases over 90%. Since then, Peterson and her team have overseen over twenty five AR technology implementations.
How is Lockheed Martin utilizing AR/MR wearable technologies to unlock potential? Shelley Peterson will discuss the progression of the technology within Lockheed environments, exploring how the technology enhances access to information.
Lockheed Martin Corp.’s space division is using augmented reality headsets and software to speed up the time it takes for engineers to learn about and conduct manufacturing processes on spacecraft, said Yvonne Hodge, the division’s vice president and chief information officer.
