Lockheed Martin Chief Technology Officer Ray Johnson is careful to differentiate between innovation and invention when talking about the company's approach to research and technology. "Invention is the creation of ideas; innovation is the application of ideas to products and services," he says.rn"As a large aerospace and defense prime, we focus on products and services and look for sources of ideas outside the company. That leads us to universities and small businesses as partners," he says. "We are continuing to increase our university research program, working with key schools-and internationally, as good ideas come from everywhere."
