CFR Team at Lockheed
Purpose: CFR team at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works Category: Program Assessment This node tracks the status and trajectory of CFR Team at Lockheed as a defense program element. It links to 5 related entities, mapping the program's position within the classified acquisition ecosystem.
Key Relationships
- → Skunk Works® CFR Program (event): Entire CFR team (McGuire, Font, Qerushi) still at Lockheed 2026. T4B papers in 2019. Consistent with classified continuation.
- ← LMT 2025 10-K (3 Programs) (assessment): Team still at Lockheed + $2.67B IRAD = hidden fusion/plasma R&D funding. Total classified + IRAD = $6.25B over 2 years.
- → CFR T4-T8 Path (assessment): T4B results (2019): 55% plasma loss reduction, neutral beam heating. Team continued this work after 'cancellation.'
- → $1.6B Classified Program (assessment): CFR team still at Lockheed = working on $1.6B classified program? Team didn't disperse to private fusion startups.
- → McGuire 2026 Status (assessment): McGuire still at Lockheed (18+ years, Fellow). 2023 patent on magnetic shielding = T4B work continuation.
