Most companies in the aerospace and defense industry need to be very cautious about who they hire. There is a chance that much of the information you are going to access could be confidential and dangerous if put into the wrong hands. Your interviewer wants to be sure you are willing to comply with any and all background verification activities required for employment at Lockheed Martin.

Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any form of background check they require. If you are certain they will uncover something from your past that would benefit from explanation, being upfront and giving your interviewer a heads up can be helpful.

I have no issues complying. I have maintained a security clearance for 20 years and know the importance of it.

Excellent! The interviewer will appreciate that you're willing to undergo background checks. By explaining that you've maintained a security clearance for so long, the interviewer will feel reassured that this won't be a problem for you. You might also remind the interviewer that you are law-abiding, honest, and full of integrity.
Prepare for technical depth and mission-focused questions that defense interviewers expect.
