Government Defense Spending and Policies: Government defense spending is one of the major drivers for revenue related to Lockheed Martin. In other words, political decisions on defense budgets, allocations, and priorities influence the volume and nature of the contracts granted to the company. For instance, if national security concerns or military conflicts intensify, then governments tend to be more open to increasing their defense-related spending, thereby offering more contracts to Lockheed Martin. Conversely, budget cuts or shifts in defense priorities can reduce demand for the company's products and services. Decrease word count but same meaning and Harvard referencing
