June 19 (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin ( LMT ) has outlined

a plan to help Britain build a new missile defence system, the

Financial Times said on Thursday, citing an official of the U.S.

firm and defence sources.

Britain said this month it would radically change its

approach to defence to tackle threats from Russia, nuclear risks

and cyberattacks by investing in drones and digital warfare.

Lockheed offers "interceptors, ground-based sensors,

space-based situational awareness - that could give the United

Kingdom (an initial) capability very rapidly," Lockheed

operations chief Frank St John said.

Such atrributes could be critical as the government decides

its approach, he added.
