Lockheed Martin Space Systems announced Tuesday that it will lay off 1,200 of its 16,000 employees by the end of the year. The company described the planned layoffs as a "difficult but necessary action" to keep the company competitive in the future. Middle management will suffer the brunt of the cuts, with a planned reduction of 25 percent. Lockheed's Sunnyvale, California, facility will have the most layoffs, followed by those in Pennsylvania and Denver, although the company did not disclose exact layoff numbers.
